The Sunday morning church serviceBehold I am doing a new thing !! Isaiah 43:19
We arrived here in Milwaukee Friday afternoon for our first ever NACCC annual meeting, this is their denomination's 55th annual meeting, though their history goes back hundreds of years. We have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this great event and being recognized as one of their 14 mission outreaches.
We were recently accepted as a mission outreach for their churches to use as short term missions in Haiti. Besides getting to talk to interested church pastors and individuals about arranging stm trips it has been stimulating to network with other mission organizations from around the world. Talking with missionaries from Mexico, Philippines, Burma, Bulgaria Cameroon, Kenya and all across the U.S. has been an encouragement to me to even work harder.
Our message at this morning's church service was "Willing to make a new start" and the theme of this meeting is "Behold I am doing a new thing", what an appropriate message. Time and time again I have seen missions and churches fail because they have been unwilling to change ,to make a new start and to do a new thing. I will be sharing some more things about our time here in my next blog but i'ts time now to head to another meeting. In God's love , steve
