CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES

NEXT YEAR'S NORTH MANCHESTER C.C.C. TEAM

Last Sunday afternoon I drove down to the North Manchester Congregational Christian Church to meet with their 2010 GAP mission team. I may have lost count but I think this team may be the sixth group to represent their church and congregation. One member from that church traveled to Haiti in 2005 as part of another team. Since then the North Manchester C.C.C. has sent a team every year to GAP-Haiti.

Two years ago their Pastor, J. P. Freeman presented an application to the leadership of the denomination of the Congregational Christian Churches of America for G.A.P. go and produce Ministry to be their mission outreach in Haiti. This year we were approved to work with their Churches in sending short term mission teams and receiving funding for our ministries in Haiti. Recently G.A.P. received an invitation to go to attend their annual denominational meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We are looking forward to being there to meet and talk with many of the pastors, mission board members , youth pastors, and mission coordinators from their churches across America.

As a small mission organization it seems like I'm often wearing too many hats when serving as executive director, international missionary in Haiti, short term mission team organizer, media director and chief fundraiser. Yet when I started all this work back in 2000 like Jabez I prayed that we would receive God's blessings and that He would enlarge our territory, He certainly has. In God's love, Steve
