Meet Pastor Maria - beautiful woman of God, pastor of a small church, committed leader, hard-working business owner, Godly influence in her village. I love this lady!!
Our recent mission team from Sunbreak Church in Washington served in her village. After their first week of relationship evangelism, 8 people came to church with us that weekend. And after service, Pastor Maria met with each of them to tell them about her church, encourage them in their new faith, and welcome them to come back again. We pray that they do.
That’s one of the great things about partnering with local churches and pastors. As the mission teams serve in an area, the local church follows-up with people afterwards continuing to water and sow the seeds that were planted.
Another great thing is how encouraged our pastors are as teams reach out in their community, joyfully and sacrificially serving on behalf of the church. Over and over again, Pastor Maria told me and the team how thrilled she was to have the team visit her area.
Please pray with me for Pastor Maria and Lighthouse Ministries Church – that her church continues to thrive and to be a light in her community.
Amazing! God is good. I can see him beaming through you, literally. Miss you girl. xoxo.
