We begin preparing for this weeks in advance.
It is one of our most favorite events of the entire year.
Missions Conference 2017
There are rehearsals to attend.
New missionaries to meet, and weekend events to plan!!
On the final night, we shower each of our visiting missionaries with gifts
from money collected during the 3 days,
to meet very specific needs they share with us each evening during the conference!!
One family desperately needed new tires for their van {for traveling around
the country on deputation} and when they received that specific gift, they turned
around on Monday and went to have them replaced.
They shared a picture of the splits in their tires and how the mechanic told
They shared a picture of the splits in their tires and how the mechanic told
them he had never seen such a defect in tires like that before!
Praise God for His perfect timing!!
Just one of the amazing moments during this conference where we saw
and heard of the power of God in protecting and meeting the needs of His servants!
The conference is concluded with a beautiful candlelight service where we are reminded to shine
as lights in this dark world and to take the Light of Jesus to every corner of the world.
Each missionary family is given a new Bible and our faith community signs the inside
committing to pray for them as they go minister to the field to which they have been called!!
