Serving Others

This has been a busy summer with multiple activities at and through our church.  We have hosted and organized two family events on two different weekends.  One was a cookout at the church after Sunday morning worship and the other was a bike, run, or walk on the City's 26 mile bike trail around the city, praying for our community, followed by a hot dog, chips, and drink picnic in one of the City's park locations.  All activities were well attended and great fellowship.  At all events we had non-church attendees participate and at the bike trail we handed out water to other users of the trail that morning and visited with a homeless man providing him lunch.  What a blessing it is to serve and provide for others.  God is so good, all the time, God is good!


Other news regarding further development of my Zambia Mission Trip scheduled for November 28, 2014 to December 11, 2014.  I will be part of a fifteen member team comprised of church members from two locations here in Sioux Falls.  We have held one team informational meeting with team building activities.  We found out that some of the activities we will be involved in while in Zambia are:

• Large scale Hopefest
• Student camp
• Choma Music Academy
• AIDS orphanages and hospital visits
• Participation in the World AIDS Day celebration and educational event for the public.

All events are largely targeted to youth up to the age of 30 years who are orphans due to a variety of reasons.  During my time in Zambia I will be visiting and assisting two physician missionaries from our church at the Zambia Mission Hospital.  This will be a wonderful experience and allow us to immerse into the Zambian culture.  I am asking family and friends for prayer support started now and continue until we return home to protect and guard against spiritual warfare and also asking for financial support to help with the expenses of the travel.

I am excited to see a different region of Africa since my trip to Ghana two years ago.  Please join me in prayer for safety, protection, provision, and health.  Thank you all for your support.
