Last night was a significant night in the life of our church body. We voted in our quarterly business meeting to send a team to East Asia. for the fourth year in a row we will be distributing radios in the mountains of EA so that a people group that would otherwise have no access to the gospel will be able to tune into a radio station every night as a village and listen to the gospel presentation with bible teaching and praise songs in their native tongue, a language that does not have a translation of the bible yet.
We voted also to return to Lima, Peru to conduct a second medical clinic which will provide us the opportunity to share the gospel, one-on-one, with upwards of 500-600 people. Just a few months ago, using the same strategy, we saw 134 adults surrender their life to Christ.
We voted also to explore other mission trip possibilities that were more local and convenient. But probably the most significant vote we cast was the one to begin an integrated Hispanic work here at Pine Street. I cannot tell you the impact this will have on us as a church body. It will stretch us, and bless us. It is the right thing to do, and I cannot wait to see how God works in and through us to reach those in our community that speak Spanish. What a joy to see such enthusiasm at the business meeting last night concerning this ministry.
Join me in prayer that God would direct our steps and that through each of these ventures, we would see God glorified and people come to faith. We will give God all the glory.
Thank you Pine Street family for having the desire to take the gospel to those outside our walls, and outside our comfort zones.
