Hello Team,
Hope you’ve had some time to rest and reflect on the journey for which we just returned! There is definitely going to be some ongoing follow up, and Pastor John (“PJ”) and I are already talking about the next trip down this coming summer 2009. There is yet so much to do. So I want to encourage you for firstly, a job well done in representing Christ our Lord as best as we could, for the completion of the two homes with insulation and dry wall, plus the work at Agua Viva, the village and even Connie’s school… whew!
We also want to encourage everyone to stay in touch, spread the Word and continue being the best missionary 24/7 everywhere you are and with everything you do and say to anyone and everyone! Don’t ever forget that you are ALWAYS a missionary for Jesus!
So far, we have compiled 2 photo galleries and over 1000 shots for you… keep them coming in. Reply to me and send me any online photos. If you want to send me a CD, we’ll make it happen. There is so much yet to share with one another.
Justin and I will also be working together to set up a reunion party where we can invite our sponsors, break bread together once again, have fun and share photos, a slide show, and give you any follow up announcements for future trips and much, much more! Stay connected with one another in brotherly/sisterly love and share the Gospel at all times, using words when necessary!
I can honestly tell you, from the bottom of my heart, that there is no other people, place or time that I would have ever been a part of, than where we were together this past week. You bless me and teach me one and all. I am reminded very humbly, that throughout all the discourse that is the history of man; all the pain and suffering throughout the world; even the wars that have been fought nationally and even within our own hearts… that time and time again, the Lord our God has risen up heroes of faith from the ranks of those who have made themselves available. Even when we are not prepared or worthy, He calls us to stand up and fight against the evils of this world. Persons of every background, sex, age, size, strength, weakness and influence, as well as the humble, the crippled, the shy and the desperate, have been used by God to answer His calling. This calling is ours to turn despair into hope, defeat into victory, tragedy into celebration, and death into everlasting life. Boast in the Lord’s victory, dearest team, and be passionate and prayerful always. I love you all very much.
Your fellow servant,
Chris
