Absolutely Yes!

It was so much fun working with a bunch of fellow-Michiganders! We recently hosted a youth team from Grace Christian Church in Sterling Heights - right where I grew up.

I was so amazed at how this youth team stepped out of their comfort zones - boldly sharing the love of Christ, sacrificially serving people in need, compassionately praying with the sick, enthusiastically pouring into kids during children’s ministry. It was a blessing to see God work in and through these young leaders.

People often wonder if the 2 short weeks they spend serving can really have a lasting, even eternal, impact. I say absolutely yes! And the congregation at AFM Paballong church whole-heartedly agrees!

After the team shared many incredible testimonies, the entire congregation was encouraged and overjoyed. Pastor Thito thanked and encouraged the team in return.

“Thank you so much for your testimonies. They are such an encouragement. Please know that we as a church will continue to pray for the families you’ve met, and the children that came to children’s ministry – that they know the Lord, come to this church, and become our next generation of leaders. Please also know that the seeds you planted will bear much fruit. Even if you don’t see it because you are returning to America, when you go to heaven God will be so excited to introduce you to the ones who are there because of the time you spent in Paballong. When you meet them, you will say Wow! Wow! Wow!”

Please pray that the seeds planted in Paballong continue to grow, and that we meet new brothers and sisters in Christ someday.
