Once again I'm amazed at how God uses us to accomplish His purposes in the world. This week I am working the associational Christmas store counseling clients. So far this week I've led three ladies to Christ. In the past four years working at the store for one week each year, I've now led 21 people to the Christ of Christmas - WOW!
I was also looking over the amounts of mission money our church has given the last five years to missions and found an amazing number - over 101,000 dollars not counting this years amount of maybe 20,000. All that with less than 100 people in church. God is doing some amazing things in our midst.
Next year we are scheduling two trip to Alaska again. One for a construction project to Koffman Cove through Christian Sportsman International and the other for a camp for kids with AK Baptists. We will take ten or so to Koffman Cove and about the same on the other trip. But, don't wait on Becky or I to take you somewhere, listen to God and follow Him where He leads. Mission work has changed people lives forever - and I'm one.
The first mission trip I went on was to Venezuela in 1983. We led 82 people to Jesus and spent a week telling people about the greatest gift of all - Jesus. People's lives were changed forever.
Merry Christmas,
Pastor Bill
