FBC Missions

Hello everyone! I am sorry for such a late post on the blog, the hotel didn’t have free wifi, so I wasn’t able to connect to update you.  Everyone is in Mexico and safe.  There haven’t been any reports of any injuries or illnesses, and please continue to pray that we can stay that way!  We arrived in Mexico last night after a two and a half hour wait at the border.  Every student was required to fill out paperwork for crossing the border.  As we arrived, we immediately entered the church service that was being held, sang some songs, and listened attentively as Holly B. gave her testimony.  She did great!

I will continue to blog as often as I can to update and share with you the good works being done around us.  Please pray for our safety and that the Gospel would be well-received by our Mexican neighbors.  Hope all is well at home!

Here are some pictures from the trip so far– all the way through this morning as we began doing work projects around the church.

Blessings,

Hunter Gray

Here are a few pictures of our adventure in Mexico.  Yesterday was a great day full of service, children, and mud.  It had rained overnight which is very uncommon in this area…school was cancelled.  If this applied to the schools in Eugene, I don’t think we could finish grade school in our lifetime.

Continue to pray for us as we minister to the spiritually blind.

In Him,

Hunter G.

Hello everyone! Both teams to Thailand have now all made it back safely home. The Thailand Team led by Jim and Gayle Buie had a great report on Sunday. If you weren’t there, contact the team about having them come and share at your small group, Bible study, Sunday School class, or any other event. Any audience would benefit from hearing about their wonderful experiences and the work God is doing in Thailand.

The Karen Vision Team led by Glen Eickmeyer will be making a report this coming Sunday, March 4, in Room 103 at both the beginning and end of the third service. We will be sharing about the work being done to aid the Karen IDP and refugee populations as well as challenging ourselves as a church body to get involved with the persecuted church. Hope to see you there!

In the meantime, there are new photographs posted to the gallery page of the Vision Team’s trip to Thailand and Burma. Check it out!

The Operation Worldview introduction to missions class is well on its way for the second time around. Thank you to everyone for participating, including Ron and Jacqui Whisler for helping facilitate the class.

You might have seen the beautiful wood cabinetry in place in to the left of the Information Booth in the atrium. In the coming weeks, we hope to have the Missions Corner up and running. This will be a place where you can go each week and get the latest literature on upcoming missions events, FBC-supported missionaries, and even talk with visiting missionaries or our busy board members. Keep an eye out!
