"So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." - Matthew 28:19
Our brother Mark Klym traveled abroad recently to serve the Lord. He authored a blog which can be found at markinlatvia.blogspot.com! In it, he included daily updates and pictures! He has also summarized his trip in this PowerPoint presentation. Check it out!
Two of our members (Ashlee Copeland and Mark Klym) are preparing to travel to the Republic of Latvia to participate in Camp Hope, a Bible camp for orphans only which is being sponsored by the Chesmont Church of Christ congregation in Pennsylvania. They ask for your prayers as they prepare to travel. To make this happen, each participant will need to raise approximately $1,800. If you would like to help with this through a donation to the church's mission team, please see any member of the mission team.
Why do we do mission work?
Putting our beliefs into action is at the very heart of our calling and it is not just something that we do in our spare time. Every person in the church as the opportunity to serve and to live their calling and their lives more faithfully. When we reach out in this way, using the gifts that God has given us, we have life-altering experiences. As we move into different cultures and experience the reality of other societies, we begin to live our lives with greater sensitivity, understanding, and compassion. This kind of living and understanding can be life energizing and church energizing. The gospel should be proclaimed in all nations all over the world.
It is exciting to be able to announce that Churches of Christ and individuals of Central Texas have come together to create the support that will enable Lifeline Chaplaincy to expand its ministry into Central Texas beginning July 1, 2008. Led by the Georgetown and Westover Hills Churches of Christ, the effort towards funding to create the expansion was also underwritten by three-year pledges from the following Churches of Christ: Bastrop, Belton, Cameron Road (Austin), Elgin, Hyde Park (Austin), Southern Hills (Buda), University Avenue (Austin) and Wimberley.
