Missions Weekend

 


 
This past weekend, we were invited to attend First Baptist Church of Plant City's mission conference.  The theme was about being obedient and there were wonderful speakers throughout the days.  We had never visited this church before so we were blessed to make lots of new friends not just from Plant City, but from around the globe as well.  I think that is always my favorite part-meeting new people and learning about the passions that God has placed on their hearts.  From churches in NY, San Francisco and Miami to people ministering in some of the roughest parts of the world.  Although the times often seem dark,  it is always refreshing to be reminded of the love and grace and power of God and learn how He is very much at work!



After our weekend in Plant City, we met with a group from First Baptist of Bradenton, and joined them on our tour of the Wycliffe Discovery Center in Orlando.

                            


We always love the opportunity to share about Bible Translation and the ministry to which God has called us.  It is amazing to think that in the short time we have been with Wycliffe, over 700 new language projects have been started!  Our God is an awesome God!
