Visiting Churches

Yesterday we were able to reconnect with friends and supporters at Christ Community Church in Beatrice, NE.

We just had a wonderful time. I am always ecouraged when I see churches that are alive and doing God's work in the world.

I would like to give props to Pastor Jack Magness who had more than 40 junior high and high schoolers in the front rows of the auditorium engaged in his sermon from Hebrews 12:1-2.

I was also impressed by several of the individuals that I talked with back at our display table.

One guy in particular shared some incredible stories about a trip he'd taken to Asia within the last couple of years, transporting Bibles and witnessing to worshipers at a Buddhist temple.

He has six kids by the way. No one should say they can't serve.

Afterwards we were graciously hosted by the Bird family. They treated us so well.

My teammate Phil Pace has also blogged about the joys of christian fellowship while on missionary deputation. Click here to read his first person account.

There are many places where God's church is good and growing.
