Serving Christ on the mission field

The other day someone asked me how man mission trips I’ve been on. I couldn’t tell her because I’ve lost count, and I know Jerry’s numbers are different than mine, as we don’t always go at the same time due to our children and their schedules and needs. But today I sat down to figure it out, and this is what I came up with, but to be honest there could be a trip or two that I’ve forgotten about or that has blended in with another one in my memory. Here goes: Our first trip was to the Dominican Republic (DR) in 2004; we also went there in 2005, 2007, and 2009. Now Jerry has been there since that, but I think 2009 was my last trip to the DR. My first time in Haiti was in 2006; then again in 2009 and twice in 2010. Rozii and Jerry have been in Haiti since I have, and Jerry will again leave for Haiti in October. We also took a team to Venezuela; I think that was in 2008, and we also took a team to Biloxi, Mississippi eight months after Hurricane Katrina. If I’m not forgetting anything, that is 10 mission trips. WOW! That is amazing. God is so good and  so faithful! I feel blessed to be used by my Father in this way. Each time we head out to serve I’m awed by Him. I could not imagine my life without my faith, without the joy and peace it gives me each day. I love the Lord, and it’s my heart’s desire to serve Him in whatever way he calls me.

If you've never been on a mission trip or would like to learn more about missions opportunities, please contact me. God bless!

Love Always,
