You read it right. I'm off to Mexico for 2 weeks with a group of High School students from Victoria British Columbia. We will be building three homes for people there and holding Children's Ministry activities with the children in the area.
Many people have contributed in so many ways....financially....through prayer support...through donations of items to take and give away. Followers of Jesus are truly generous people.
Just over a year ago I preached a message titled...Few Do! (If you look back in the archives...you can find a blog referring to similar thoughts.) I want to be one of the "few who do" when it comes to putting my faith into action. I was invited to join this group and believe that it was exactly what God wants me to be involved in at this time. In three days I'll lead the devotional for the group and ....you guessed it...I'm planning to talk about Caleb and Joshua....the original two who did something outstanding. God has blessed you with abilities and gifts to be used in extraordinary ways to help others, to share God's love, and to direct people to an abundant life in Jesus. Whatever you put you head and heart to this week....be some of the few who do!
Make a difference in this world by loving the people around you. And if you get a chance to pray....pray for safety as we travel through the area where the drug lords are fighting the government in Mexico, and for God Almighty to teach the group something about trust, faith and living outside out comfort zones for His glory.
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
