Mission Mombasa 2011
The thoughts of our trip to Kenya are still running through my mind as I review the pictures and review the two videos that were made. We met so many wonderful people and we were able to share the love of the Lord Jesus to children and parents. Even during our travel to and from Kenya we met Christians and were able to share the good news with others who were only curious about what we were doing.
The testimonies at Hallmark last Sunday only re-enforced the belief that going on a short term missions trip forever changes us. We all feel challenged to share Christ with those that surround us every day. However, there is a special joy in sharing the love of Jesus in a distant land in a different culture and witness the joy they experience when they pray and receive God’s gift of forgiveness and everlasting life.
As I review this trip I know that God’s Hand was truly on us. Our team leaders, David and Kim Hayes prepared us well. They led us to prepare, to pray, to anticipate God working in us and through us. God bless you David and Kim. We set a goal to encourage and strengthen our missionaries, to minister to the children of our feeding centers, and to our Kenyan brothers and sisters in the churches, and to witness to the lost. I believe that Mission Mombasa 2011 accomplished all of these goals. To God be the glory! He brought us full circle. We are home safe and sound and we are praying and thinking about next year, God willing.
Thank you to all our team members. You are a very special group. I learned to appreciate each one of you. Thanks to all our prayer partners and financial partners we could not have gone without you. We must work together, for the harvest truly is great, and demands many laborers to bring it in. God Bless you all! Mission Accomplished!
