Summer 2010

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” (Isaiah 6:8)

Jesus said… “Do you love Me…Tend My sheep.” (John 21:15-17)
God has a plan for the life of every one of us. Part of his plan is the success we experience in our daily life, in school, at work, etc and another part is to glorify God. He has truly blessed us in our work and study this past year. Now, shouldn’t we search to thank him and fulfill the other part of his plan for us, the spiritual yearning in our lives? God, in His grace and mercy, is asking you to come. He offers you a great chance in the mission this summer to offer your love and receive a new life; to deepen your spiritual life.
