As always, there is a lot going on in the way of missions this week...
- New Orleans. We have a team of 15 down in New Orleans helping rebuild FBC, Chalmette from the Katrina disaster...isn't amazing how long ago Katrina hit, yet the work continues. It takes commitment to see the job done, and it is my hope that we can stay with Chalmette, until the building is done...then we can plan some outreach trips for the church. I talked with the project coordinator down there and our team has been painting beds, running electrical and plumbing, finishing some siding up high, and putting some finishing touches on the church's annex. They are working hard! Please remember to pray for them this week.
- El Salvador. Karen Ward is in El Salvador and will return March 14. This will be an extremely difficult trip for Karen as she will be packing up her things and saying 'see you later' to our brothers and sisters in Christ in El Salvador. Her official missionary position is closing there because of family obligations, but her ministry through our church and even with El Salvador will continue...and our partnership with Antiguo Cuscatlan is continuing...our next trip is scheduled for June 3-10. If you are interested in going please let me know. Take some extra time this week to pray for Karen Ward please.
- John 3:16. I'm excited about spending 4 weeks beginning on Easter to share the good news about the most famous verse in the Bible. We will start off the empasis with a special prayer service on 3.16 (March 16), we will have evangelistic booklets for our friends, invitations for Easter, and have over 24 to 36 testimonies shared those four weeks in 8:00 worship, 10:30 worship, youth Sunday School, and in children's church. I am really excited to hear many of our folks how Christ has changed their lives. Please start praying for this outreach emphasis...I'll be sharing more later.
For the Kingdom!
Pastor Mike
