Our Journey Continues

What have we been doing since our last post?  We have been watching our journey back to the mission field slowly unfold.  So many of us think the mission field is out there, over there, or far away, but it is right here in front of us!  The church has been given the responsibility of taking care of the people around it and reaching out to those who need the good news, not just far away, but right next door.  This morning when I was reading James 2 I was again reminded of how we need to act and not just wish people well.  

James 2:15-16 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?

God has lead us to a church that is seeking to follow Him and really be His church.  There is a great need there for workers/volunteers/planters/harvesters.  When I think about the opportunities there, the vision, and what is happening and could happen in that church there is excitement and the possibilities are endless.

And we can see that God you're moving

A time of Jubilee is coming

When young and old will turn to Jesus

Fling wide your heavenly gates

Prepare the way of the risen Lord!

We will have more details hopefully soon of our exact position and details of how it is all going to work. (We are still in the process of trying to figure out how God is leading.) This much we do know, that at least to start we will be involved in establishing children's worship there.  We not only see the need, but know that kids have a openness to the gospel and can impact families and the entire community. Please join us in prayer for continued faith and obedience for where God is leading.  Pray for funding, housing closer to the church, and community there.  Pray also for the hearts of the kids we will impact and continued prayers for the kids we have worked with in the past.  We know the importance of prayer and perseverance and we are thankful for all of you who are faithful in lifting us up in prayer!
