Have you ever met someone briefly that changed your life forever? Perhaps a divine appointment of sorts? Yesterday, we said goodbye to our Crown College mission team after 2 wonderful weeks of ministry. In the short time they were here, they built relationships and made an impact that will last a lifetime.
One way they did this was through a week-long afternoon children’s program at Real Vision church. Each day, about 65-75 kids came to play games, sing songs, and hear the Word of God taught in exciting, kid-friendly ways. Children’s ministry has a huge impact in the villages because kids really don’t have it in their home churches. The kids loved the special attention and the fun teachings, and they really got a kick out of meeting people from America. And when the kids share their excitement with their families back home, they get excited too! And they also see how welcoming and vibrant the local church is – in this case Real Vision. (The mission team had a blast as well!!)
Another way the team had great impact was through each family they ministered to during Relationship Evangelism. As they planted vegetables gardens, they also planted spiritual seeds of faith. As they mended a woman’s fence, they also mended racial tensions in the name of Christ who loves everyone as His children. As they led people to Christ, prayed for the sick, and discipled Believers, they also grew more mature in their own faith. Quite an impact every way you look at it!!
Please pray with us that the Lord’s work continues in and through each mission team member – in the village of Khelangoni, in Minnesota as the team returns, and wherever they are called to next.
