Global Gathering – The Mission Society celebrates 30 years

We are very blessed to have The Mission Society as our sending agency.  They are family to us and we love them for who they are and how they have responded to God’s call on their lives.  In Florida in January (yes, it was cold) over 200 missionaries gathered.  Gathered to share and learn, gathered to love and pray, gathered to reflect and refresh and mostly to celebrate what God is doing in the world.

If we are not one with each other, we cannot be one with God.

Where do I lack courage to see God?

Where am I broken with others?

We are people who have been forgiven and made one.

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way:  Bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.  Colossians 1:10

Become more fruitful and less frustrated! 

Is the life that you are living the same as the life God wants to live in you?

The gospel is bearing fruit and we are the fruit of the gospel.  The power is in the gospel, not us.

We celebrated through word and song, through prayer and praises.  We celebrated Dick McClain for His service to the Lord.  He is preparing for retirement and we thank him for his friendship and service.  We know he will continue in service to the Lord and we will continue to pray for him and Pam, his wife, as they move into a different culture.  Thank you Dick and Pam!!!!

“The only reason that you would have to wait on God is if God keeps you waiting.”  Be strengthened with His power with His glory and might.  You will be strengthened in patience for great endurance.  Grow in the knowledge of God.  Christ in you.  The Hope and Glory!  AMEN!!!!
