Learning

Several months ago we received a helpful resource from MBMSI which emphasizes the importance of preparing for our whole trip... before we leave, during our assignment, and after we get home. We have read and discussed the 116-page book and found that it has provided excellent ideas as well as challenging goals. Above all, it has answered many of our questions and prompted good discussions!

This is one of the ways we have been preparing for our trip.
We are thankful for the support and resources we are receiving from this organization.

Surprise blessings

Our Life Group was invited to join Karla and Kendra's group for an evening of games. As we pulled up to Brad and Karla's house, we were anticipating the fun we would soon have with friends who have parents who are our age:-)! We got to know each other better as we spent time sharing, laughing and eating together.

We had heard special stories about this group which blesses others by giving generously of themselves and their time. This evening was no exception, and we found that we were also recipients of this generosity. As the evening drew to a close they surrounded us, laid hands on us, and prayed for us...
what a wonderful surprise blessing!
Thank you - Life Group 7A!
