This past Sunday we enjoyed spending the day in Mirror, Alberta. In the evening I presented the Maximizing Your Short-Term Mission Trip seminar. Below I’ve shared some clips from the first half hour of the seminar, so you can hear a little of what we talked about.
For more on some of the seminars we’ve offered, see our seminars page.
Do you want an idea of the kinds of opportunities that are out there in the Spanish speaking world? Check out this overview of the summer program with CAM International. It’s in pdf format – just right click to download.
A little over three years ago I wrote about a book I had read… Jesus Led Me All The Way by Charlotte Truesdell Marcy, an autobiography about a missionary in Honduras.
On the 31st of August 2011, Charlotte passed away in Honduras. She was 97 ½ years old.
Charlotte, a missionary with CAM International, served in Honduras for 70 years. She lost her husband in 1958, on the field with 8 children to care for. But God used her in amazing ways.
You can read the original post about her book here. Praise the Lord for those who serve as examples to all of us.
We would like to give a special welcome to new missionary appointees with CAM International of Canada – Julian and Malu Grymaloski! They were officially recognized this week by the CAM board.
We’re hoping to have Julian and Malu here in Ixtapaluca for a one or two year term – they’re mid-term missionaries at this point, although that could certainly change in the future. Julian is Canadian, and Malu Mexican, so they’ll fit into our multicultural team very well!
We’re looking forward to getting together with the Grymaloskis when we’re in Calgary this fall. And assuming they can get ready to go – we’ll be seeing them here shortly thereafter!
¡Bienvenidos a nuestros nuevos misioneros!
Here’s the last video, from this past Sunday. It’s a little shorter than the others, probably because the morning service was a big part of the day, and I didn’t video any of it. In our church, one of the interns (Robert) preached.
So here’s a little taste from the last day of the weekend. A major theme was, apparently, FOOD. 😉 But if you want more details about this day, read Vision Weekend Day 3.
Saturday was the first bilingual day. We spent time in God’s Word and in discussion about how to move forward together. For a full summary, see Vision Weekend Day 2.
Here are a few clips from the day. We spent most of the day in the building where Iglesia Bíblica Sendero de Vida Santa Barbara (Way of Life Bible Church Santa Barbara) meets.
