A very special missionary, who is close to retirement, has hosted many teams of volunteers from the United States. Recently, Jim wrote the following summary of his experience with a SC church (East Salem) in Leakesville, Mississippi:
"This was the most consistent response of national church members of any project I have ever seen. Of the 21 volunteers, only three came just one time. One man, aged 82, who has been a Christian only five years, came every time."
A team member remarked, "Seeing a fifteen year old boy go out every day to pass out Gospels, and to sign up so many for Bible studies, was just amazing to me. He proves there is still hope for the next generation."
Jim states, "The host church is committed to beginning work in these villages, based on the response of saturation. In each village, we had at least two Bible studies requested. We spent five hours saturating five small colonias in Ario de Rosales where the host church is located. One of the volunteers had never been on an international mission project. The team leader anticipated involving more first time volunteers next year."
Praise Jesus for faithful servants who recognize the importance of answering God's call to overseas missions. Help to finish the task by contacting us for opportunities.
