Missions...Not for the Faint of Heart

After watching our mothers recover from their 

journey to Peru and seeing a news story out 

of Mexico this week, I am again reminded

that the work of Missions is hard.

It is hard and often dangerous.

This clip is about Nancy Davis, a missionary,

who was shot and killed in Mexico. 

Nancy had gone on fewer and fewer of 

these missions because of the safety issues.

However, for whatever reason she was 

along on this day.

My cousin, Ethan, is seen in the video talking about 

the tragedy.  He had spent time
working with the Davis

family and is taking this very hard.

Please pray for Ethan and Nancy's family

as they process their grief.

Georgia took this picture of some artwork

for sale in a Lima park.  I love it for the colors

but I also love what it reminds me of.

Jesus said in the book of John, Chapter 4:

"I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! 

They are ripe for harvest.  

Even now the one who reaps draws a wage 

and harvests a crop for eternal life, 

so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.  

Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true."

Mom, Georgia and their team sowed seeds in the hearts

of those they met in Peru.

They will likely not be the ones to see the harvest

but that is ok with them.

They were being obedient to their calling.

Lets be diligent to plant the seeds we are sent out 

to plant and be ready always to reap the harvest.

There are many who are ready to come into the 

Kingdom........of eternal life!

Enjoy your day of Worship

wherever you may be!
