THE MESSAGE HEARD FROM GODS WORD TOWARD ARLINGTON BAPTIST, NORTH FLORIDA CHURCHES AND THEY RESPONDED TO THE FOLLOWING:
ISAIAH 6:8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
The great opportunity Frances and I have is to watch, listen to the people who come on short term mission trip. You hear them saying, “I cannot get the Colonia off my mind,” “ I would love to take that little one home with me,” “I have a hard time running water when I brush my teeth,” “ They are so easy to love,” “what can we do?” “ I cannot wait to come back again.”
THIS UPDATE WILL BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THAT WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM PEOPLE THAT CAME ON SHORT TERM MISSION TRIP THROUGH VIDEOS. WE WILL BEGIN BY SHOWING YOU PEOPLE THAT CAME FROM SEVERAL CHURCHES FROM THE NORTH FLORIDA AREA LEAD BY BECKY JO ADAMS.
