Mission Trip Celebration

Last night, we heard reports from the 4 Mission Trips members of our church have completed this Summer. Four members of our church traveled to Brazil to assist Missionaries Tony and Karen Gray (also, members) in assisting a church approximately 100 miles from Sao Pablo. We had one man participated in a Church Construction Trip to North Dakota. Six individuals from our church, including Boo White (Student Minister), completed another trip to North Dakota, which occurred on an Indian Reservation. Last week, Fifteen folks affiliated with our church, ministered in Baltimore.

So, collectively, twenty-six believers from FBC Leakesville were engaged in short-term missions this Summer. This really gets me excited.

All of the reports were exciting and informative. At times, I love services in which I say very few words. While I love to preach, it is good for people to know you can have a worship time without a "professional" moderating. After preaching on the importance of every member of the body in the morning service, I felt we had a visible illustration of that last night.

The students in "No Regrets" shared a song they wrote while they were serving in North Dakota. The words and music were as good as any song you'll hear. I was/am so proud of them.
