Thailand Missions Dinner, Auction, & Fellowship

People have been wondering how the Thailand Mission Trip Auction Dinner went. It was a complete success. I think we may see another one down the road sometime, due to its success. Our auctioneer was great, played by our Thailand missions lead Steve, with great support from the field from Janelle, Mike, and Jane. I was kind of used as a floater, wherever people needed my help I went. With all being said Becky was in charge of this project, and she was definitely on top of her game. She made certain the food was prepared, everyone was where they were supposed to be, and that everyone was having a great time. In which truly did happen.

Wonderful live music was played by Steve & Mike, with photos on the big screen of some Faith Village Volunteers and children of God. It was such wonderful fellowship, worship, along with great food (tacos), and some awesome fun. Theme for the night that was repeated many times "it's for the children", in which it truly is.

In closing I want to thank Becky for knocking our first project out of the ballpark, and of course it couldn't of been done without the support of the entire Thailand Missions team.

God bless!!

Countdown - 10 Days Until Thailand!!!!!

    

    

"The Bible" miniseries & Wanted Prayers

For those that are watching "The Bible" miniseries, we are already at the birth of King Solomon. This series couldn't of come at a better time. My children Karli 9 & Kory 8 are so into this miniseries, they started their own "The Bible" Quiz game. Their knowledge is building so much of the Bible & the people in it, along with my own.

PRAYERS NEEDED

When preparing for the Thailand missions trip, many of us on the team are fighting our own demons. Satan is working overtime to get many of us to make the wrong decision, and he continues to influence us everyday, to steer us away from our Heavenly Father. Our faith is too strong for that.

However, our team still needs your prayers more than ever as we embark on the final 11 days. So with that said please feel free to leave prayer comments at the bottom of this blog.

God bless!

Exodus 25:1-9

25:1 The Lord spoke to Moses: 25:2 “Tell the Israelites to take an offering for me; from every person whose heart makes him willing you are to receive my offering. 25:3 This is the offering you are to receive from them: gold, silver, bronze, 25:4 blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goat’s hair, 25:5 ram skins dyed red, fine leather, acacia wood, 25:6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for fragrant incense, 25:7 onyx stones, and other gems to be set in the ephod and in the breastpiece. 25:8 Let them make for me a sanctuary, that I may live among them. 25:9 According to all that I am showing you—the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings—you must make it exactly so.

Verse of the Day- Selfless

Deuteronomy 15:10-11 NLT

Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do. There will always be some in the land who are poor. That is why I am commanding you to share freely with the poor and with other Israelites in need.

Greg's Goals for Thailand

With Thailand just around the corner, we are building our shields of faith & preparing our spiritual tools. We are starting to learn more about our contacts at Faith Village, and meeting on a weekly basis with our team from Lake Center Bible Church in Portage, MI. We will now be able to put a name with a face, and know a little something about them. My personal goals for Thailand are; grow myself spiritually, grow others, lead non-believers to Christ, and to see the beauty of Thailand.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying,  “I am the light of the world.  He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12 WEB)

Clothing Donations Wanted

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26-28 WEB)
