I (Sarah) was encouraged this morning at church. The current sermon series is about writing a new “story” in our life. It was so applicable to our life right now! We are moving forward in this new direction without looking back. We have sold many of our possessions (some furniture, various household items, two cars now and almost a house). Soon we will say goodbye to friends, family, and hot water (among other modern comforts). However, the more we let go and take steps forward, the more we are experiencing God. I am continually reminded that He is all we need and our security and worth come from Him! This new story is already filling our life with blessings. It has been so encouraging to hear from others who have been touched by missions and believe in what we’re doing.
God has called us to a ministry that is already well established and by His grace and power we can help build it and sustain it even more. Several youth from the village where we are going made a commitment to Christ at camp this summer. It is evident that God is working and we are so privileged to go support and serve. The impact of this ministry – working with short term teams and supporting the growing community of believers in Gales Point– we believe will grow into something far beyond what we could ever ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20).
We are inviting you to invest yourself through the resources that God has given you – your energy, prayers and money – in this work God has called us. Through our collaboration, drawn together by God we can build the kingdom and this can become your story as well as ours.
