Go... It's Time

Well, we survived… VBS that is, If you say you weren’t tired last week and you were there… maybe you weren’t  “there”.  It was tough nonstop action. But, there are 31 souls entering into Jesus presence when they leave this life. Makes it all worth the effort, doesn’t it?  

Okay then… the next order of events is almost here. That being the Jamaica Missions Trip. It’s only 5 weeks away, so let’s not rest on our laurels from VBS. We need to see the work that lies ahead for all of us.

There are 14 adults/youth going to Montego Bay, Jamaica from July 27^th to August 3^rd. They will be working with Pastor Andrew Pryce and his wife Tanesha. As well, they will work closely with Cletis and Tammy Titus, missionaries to Jamaica for years.  The team’s ministry includes a soccer camp for youth, visiting an orphanage as well as a health clinic.  It is always a jam packed week.

So, what can we do to help? First, pray. See me or Pastor Jason Wilson as to who is going and then partner with one of them and fervently, earnestly pray for/with them.  Encourage them. Sure, it’s nice and sunny there but sin is thick in Jamaica and this brings an element of danger. Let’s remember… “Fear thou not: for I am with thee; be not dismayed, FOR I AM THY GOD.”  Isaiah 41:10

Something we all need to take to heart and never forget is the fact these 14 people are working “a higher calling”.  They represent us but more importantly they go presenting our risen, loving Savior to a dying world. There is no greater mission one can undertake. 

VBS saw our church rise up and work hard. Time for us to rise up again and send our mission team out to a lost world. For soon we will be standing before our God. Lets get to work while we are still able to.  To God be the glory!
