Friends That Are More Like Family

Kendall, Lauren, and I traveled to Gila, New Mexico on Friday to spend time with our friends the Henderson's and to meet the precious church that has lifted us up in prayer on many occasions. We were overwhelmed with fellowship and love today as we went to a meet and greet at the church. Meeting people who have prayed for us made us feel like we had been apart of this family for a long time. God has blessed us with this body of Christ who has not only prayed for us, but sent a team to work along side us among the Nsenga people. We are excited about spending time with them in worship tomorrow morning and evening.

The missions and evangelism committee took the time to decorate the sanctuary for our arrival! It was overwhelming to see the love that they poured into our ministry.
