Mission - Annette Smart is in Mexico working with people. More than a Bandage helps villages with self-sustainable projects.
This week a group from church heads for Honduras to help construct a school and do some medical work. Cindy and I will be on this team led by Marty Kanne and Jeanne Mathiesen.
Next weekend another group will be doing work at Wilderness Camp in Lawson.
This is your church in action. Even if you are not able to go on a trip you may still participate. The best way to share in this work - pray.
When Ezra was leading exiles from Babylon to rebuild Jerusalem he did the following: "I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions." (Ezra 8:21)
Whenever we have a group going out (there will be another group going to Mozambique later in Sept.) many of us need to be the prayer support. You are urged to pray.
The story in Ezra includes the fact that they were taking along roughly the equivalent of a year's wages for around 500,000! They did not ask for soldiers to protect them. They trusted in God. What a way to live! What a way to serve! What a way to engage in the mission of Christ!
We had a great day today. It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
