Giving

So often when we are planning mission trips people are so giving. 

Giving of their time and talents to make things for us to take to share the gospel and show God's love.

Giving of their financial blessings to help fund the projects that we will be doing while on the mission or to help a mission team member with trip costs.

Giving of their self in prayer for preparation, for safety and health.

It is always amazing to see the gifts and the givers.

For our past trip in July we planned to share the gospel of Christ in local schools.  For this we needed tools to give visual explanations as we shared.  And they were given.




We had color books to show as we demonstrated how to make a Salvation Bracelet.  The children (even high school age) were thrilled to have a reminder of the message we shared.



Because of the large classes (approximately 65 in each high school room, around 50 in elementary classes) we were able to share with about 1000 students in a matter of a couple of hours.

A very special THANKS to everyone who gives and those who will give in the future.  

Thankful, Sheryl
