While God has closed the door on a missions trip to Scotland, he had opened the door to another area of ministry -- England.
Eyes
on the Prize: England 2012
Here
is an overview of the trip. Fourteen of us will be traveling to Luton, England
to assist missionaries Stand and Paula Boelman in various ministries at
Fellowship Baptist Church as well as to visit Portsmouth, the possible location
of Glen and Tammi Galbraith’s next ministry. Our team will have many opportunities
to serve Christ through making contact with local families, Holiday Bible Club,
Evangelistic Meetings, and various church ministries.
The dates for this trip
are the same. We will be leaving the United States on Thursday, July 19th
and will return Wednesday, August 1st. In regard to travel, I
recently received my Passport in the mail, which is a blessing because it
arrived in a relatively short amount of time.
The price for this trip
is also the same. Here I would like to give a “sacrifice of praise” to my
Father. Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply every need of yours
according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” This promise has taken on
new meaning in the last few months. Through the working of the Holy Spirit in
the lives of people, God has provided enough so that all that is needed is about $500 for this trip! He has been so gracious to provide in the most unexpected ways! I want to give another gift of thanks to those who are contributing by donating their cans. While this may seem like an insignificant form of giving, about $215 worth has been from Can money. (That's about 4300 cans and bottles!) The
deadline for the final amount of money has been set for April 30, 2012. I look
forward to how He will continue to provide.
We have also received our assignments as to what area of ministry we will be serving. I have the privilege to co-lead the game time for the Holiday Bible Club. Additionally, we will get to serve in regular Sunday services during the two Sundays we are in England. I am personally looking forward to worshiping beside believers in another "culture." One thing God has been reminding me, especially since Missions Conference here at Faith, is the truth of His Immutability. We poor humans are bound by space and time, but our Awesome God is NOT! He is the same God in England AND in America. This may sound simplistic but I can't seem to wrap my mind around it!
Thank you all for your prayers! I will continue to post updates through the summer as we get closer to our trip in July.
“I thank Him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus
our
Lord, because He judged me faithful,
appointing me to His service.”
