Word of the Week: Missions

It hit me this morning – this is a full year for missions at Grace! On July 17-31, Pastor Don is going to Malawi to train and support African pastors. On July 22-29, Fleming Straughan is going to Ireland to pray for and encourage Irish missionaries. On October 20-29, Grace is sending a team of nine to go serve in Japan. Full, right?

Many of us aren’t going on these trips, yet still we’re a part of them. Every missions trip is a team effort and it has been wonderful watching so many of you joining the effort. You’ve been praying eagerly. You’ve been giving generously (If you want to support the Japan trip and see someone get hit with a pie, be on the lookout for the jars outside the church office). The Lord uses each of us as a part of his mission to reach every nation, tribe, and tongue. Truly, the Lord has been at work in and through us – and it’s a beautiful thing! Please continue to pray for our missionaries.

In Him,

Tom
