Praise God for a wonderful day of work and fellowship among our team. We arrived safely yesterday and set up camp. A team of people went over to the church and scoped it out for the coming projects. After dinner and a meeting we settled in for the night a prepared for the coming day of work. The night was not smooth for many in our group as one of our kids got sick in the night, another went missing for a little bit…we found him, and we had a fairly good rain storm that submerge one tent and kept many others up for a few extra hours. All of these evening disturbances took a lot of our excitement and motivation away, but it also placed in us a greater awareness of our need for Jesus. And He was faithful to give us the strength to get through today.

Through the power of our Lord we were able to clean many toys in the nursery, to paint a large portion of the sanctaury, and break up and remove a concrete floor from the basement. These were the bigger jobs (with many smaller ones also performed) and were each challenging in and of themselves. After our tired team returned to the camp tonight we shared with each other our highlights and the good things we saw each other do. One of the comments that reoccured a lot was the team work felt among each other and the work that was accomplished because of it. Please keep us in your prayers and join us in praising God for His faithfulness to not only get us through the day being tired, but to help us accomplish a great days work.

Praise the Lord; On July 19th, a group of 29 of us from Hope Church are going on a mission trip to Sisseton, SD!

We are all so excited to be a blessing to others, and to show the tangible love of Jesus Christ to the people in Sisseton! The Lord has blessed us all, and we want to go be a blessing to others!

We will be on mission from July 19-25, 2010.

We ask that you will be in prayer for us while we are on mission. Prayer is vital, and we thank you all for your prayers in advance! Different people from Hope will be posting each day on this blog, so that you can see how Christ is working through all of us, and how the mission is touching the lives of people individually:)

We cannot wait to serve the Lord and those in Sisseton! We are so excited to be able to share the Gospel with those we encounter, and to be able to serve in practical ways also.

In Jesus name,

The Hope Church Sisseton mission team
