3 Days and counting.....



3 days and counting until we present our trip to the church body. Here is the plan as of now: Pray.

The schedule for Sunday is split 50/50 with Dr. Withers. We will present our trip information such as past involvement and what is coming up. Jenny and/or Leigh will be giving a brief testimony about the call to missions and the personal benefits to serving. Gil will be sharing about how the church can get involved in the mission trip, physically, spiritually, and financially. We also plan to sing "God is so good" in Polish. It should be a great service. Please be in prayer for the service and that God will stir in the hearts of the congregation. John intends to challenge the congregation and we will be prayed for and over. Remember, we will be presenting at both services.

Also, this Sunday night is the next business meeting. At the meeting, we will report on our current financial status. Prior to doing so, we will need to meet to discuss the financial situation. Please plan to meet sometime before the meeting that evening, whether we meet for lunch or early at church.

Philippians 4:6
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

We have finished our fund raising for this trip as of now. We have decided to cancel the corn hole tournament of chaos and postpone the Saturday breakfast. Coming up on May 17th, we will have an opportunity during each service to present our trip to the church body and receive a love offering. Gil and I have been working on a presentation. If you feel led to participate in some way, please let me know what you are thinking. Please encourage everyone to come and hear what God is doing in our lives as well as what He is doing in Poland.

Remember to send in your $100 deposit to Tom. Please contact me if you need the mailing information again. Continue to prepare. Continue to pray. Continue to rejoice in the hard times we have had. When we think about why Satan is attacking, it can only mean that he is getting nervous about what God is doing. Satan wants us to be nervous, to doubt, to get frustrated and aggravated with our church, but we must not. Please rejoice in the fact that the Creator of the universe has called you to go to Poland to tell people about Him. You are His chosen messenger. Wow.
