NINE
YEARS! It's been 9 years this month since the first short-term mission trip
from FBCMcK to Sierra Leone! Tom and I could never have imagined that our lives
would change so dramatically. What an adventure! I'm reflecting today on the
various 'Community Based Organizations' that we and fellow team members have
had the privilege of serving. More than a dozen groups of people with needs
ranging from the effects of polio, severe disabilities, special needs, orphans,
street kids, drug and alcohol abuse, agricultural needs, food relief, the
elderly, and others! Utterly humbling! Mark 10:29-30, Jesus said, "Truly I
say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother
or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that
he shall receive a hundred times as much NOW IN THE PRESENT AGE, houses and
brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with
persecutions; AND IN THE AGE TO COME, ETERNAL LIFE."
