Missions – Above and Beyond
IT EXCITES Marki and me when we hear reports from various Riverbend mission teams. It is a great, reaffirming joy to learn how the Lord used our members, both individually and corporately, during a specific missions venture.
All praise to the Lord for the thousands of people around the world who have been impacted in one way or another by the Above & Beyond missions ministry. We’ll never really know, this side of heaven, how many people have been saved from God’s judgment because of this very vital ministry of our church.
How many of these new converts have gone on to proclaim the truth to others? How many have become preachers or missionaries? Answers to those questions, if we knew them, would likely shock our imaginations.
Members of our college ministry, CrossRoads, recently returned from a successful trip to England—successful because they ministered the gospel to hundreds of attentive ears.
We have at least three other mission trips this calendar year-—two to Honduras (June 16-25 and Sept. 22-Oct. 1) and one to Romania (July 30-Aug. 13).
Let’s keep these trips saturated with advanced prayer. Then let’s expect some great reports when our people return.
