Wow!! What a weekend. I don't know if NWA could pack anymore into a weekend like this past one. First of all, the Annual Dogwood Festival was held here in Siloam Springs. I have lived here for 9 years and have only attended this event a couple of times. It's a great family event, but it seems like it rains every year (this one no exception) and we usually have other things taking place. Race For the Cure was also taking place this past Saturday. For all the Razorback fans, the annual "Razor Fest" was taking place all day Saturday with the annual Red & White Game Saturday evening. But....the greatest event for us was our Annual Missions Convention. It began last weekend with Missionary Mike Louton speaking to us in our pm service. This past Saturday was our annual missions banquet "Taste Your Way Around the World". That is exactly what we did. There were different "booths" that represented different regions from around the world. Each booth was decorated and had the foods from different countries for people to taste. It was a blast. Sunday morning, the First AG choir did an outstanding job in presenting the missions production "Every Way". It was awesome!
I love missions. I believe it is the heart beat of God. It is so important for us to put God first and also to put the things of God first. Missions will always be a part of our lives. In fact, Krystal and I met on a missions trip in Mexico City. Her dad said that most people bring back a souvenir but Krystal brought back a husband.
Going on a missions trip will change you. In fact, this year our church will be involved in three different missions projects. The first missions trip will be June 11-18. This team will be going to Pinon, AZ to build a church on the Navajo Reservation. It will be an exciting time for those who go. The second trip will be to El Salvador. This team will be involved in doing compassion ministry in the different villages and towns they are going to. Our third trip will be heading to Brazil. A couple of years ago, our church built two churches on the Amazon River. I will be preaching in those churches and the team will be doing ministry in the services as well. While we are down there, we will also be installing "water filtration" systems in some villages to help combat the diseases that come from bad water.
I am so proud of our church and congregation. "Send us to the nations!" If you read this blog and would like to be a part of one of these trips, please contact our church office at 479-524-9541 or you can respond to this blog.
