Our oldest grandchild left this morning for a mission trip to South Africa. This is not his first trip. He went to Nicaragua a few years ago, as part of a group that did sports camps. That trip, he went with his mother. This time, he went with a small group from his church, without his parents. He will be working with a group that ministers to children who have AIDS.
I am so excited for him.
Our family does missions. We believe that when Jesus said, "Go into all the world and make disciples", He meant it. None of us have been lifelong missionaries,we have never suffered, we haven't done anything great, but we do go from time to time. I was trying to think of the nations we have been to specifically on mission trips, all together...China, South Africa, Botswana, republic of Congo, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Greece, Bulgaria, Nicaragua, Brazil,Costa Rica, Jamaica, Bahamas, Haiti...
I'm pretty thrilled that this desire has been passed on to another generation.
Our purpose is to encourage women to pursue a growing, passionate relationship with Jesus Christ through support, fellowship and discipleship. We strive to provide many opportunities to help women grow in relationship with Christ; to live the abundant life that Jesus promised, a life of joy and freedom, and to have relationships that are healthy and fulfilling.
