Good Morning Everyone,
Our theme for this month: “Planning”
Our Bible verse for today: “I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.” 2 John 13 (NIV)
Our thought for today: “I’m planning to see you soon.”
By the time you read this I will already be on my way to Haiti with a mission team. We are going to the Carrefour region of the Port-au-Prince district to conduct free medical and dental clinics. Our team will also spend much time visiting in the orphanages assisting with orphan care, we will prepare and serve hot meals for hundreds of children every day, and we will also help to complete the construction of a girls transition home so young adult girls who can no longer stay in the orphanage will have a safe place to live until they are ready to get married.
Our team will be gone for a week and during that time I will not be writing these daily devotional messages. I plan to focus my full attention on the work of our team and I’m asking you, our faithful readers, to hang onto this devotional and use it each morning to prayer for our team. The next daily devotional message will come to you on Monday October 3rd.
However, as the Apostle John wrote to his readers in 2 John 13, even though I won’t be writing to you I am looking forward to seeing you face to face. On Sunday evening, October 9th, at 6:00, our mission team will give a mission presentation at Oak Hill Baptist Church, 3036 Genesis Road in Crossville. We would love to have you join us. We will show pictures and tell stories about all that God is doing in that part of the world. Please join us!
In the meantime, please plan to pray for us.
God Bless,
Pastor Jim
