It's not over....

As all of us have returned to our normal everyday lives, we must ask ourselves “what did we take from this mission to New Orleans?” Will we remember a month, 4 months, 6 months later who the people were we met and what did God do for us to help or minister to them? Our family does not plan on losing site of His vision. Just because our mission to New Orleans is over, does not mean our mission is over. Our Lord Father has a plan for every one of us. What is your plan? I know in my heart of hearts it has been changed not only for the good, but spiritually. I am counting the days until we return to New Orleans. There has also been talk about missions locally and globally.
We have witnessed the brokenness of individuals and families only to learn that their faith in God never changed. What an empowering thought. I still cannot fathom the love I have for our Father and the trust we instill in Him just by faith alone, however this outpouring of faith in our Lord God was shown beyond our imaginations in New Orleans. One week will never encapsulate the belief in our God that the families and the people of New Orleans live by every day.
Try not to look as if the mission to New Orleans is over….look at it as your new beginning. Our family has. I have!
“Thank you Lord for the wonderful opportunity you gave my family to minister to those who are in need…not just in need of physical help, but in need of spiritual help. We know in your divine way there is a purpose for us…a plan. We pray that you keep us focused, spiritual, and speak only in your words. Allow us to continue spreading your word, your love, your devotion to our sisters and brothers and let us plant the seed in those who truly do not know you so that they may come to know you. We pray that you continue to give strength, wisdom, courage, and spiritual guidance to all we have met, our mission’s team, future mission teams, our leaders and pastors, and any that believe that you sent your only begotten son to die for our sins on the cross. We pray for those who do not know you….will come to know you!! We pray this in your name…Amen.”
