We are riding a wave of missions excitement these days! On June 22 a group of thirteen adults will be heading off to Guatemala to serve Christ as his hands and feet in a group of orphanages. This group has worked hard to raise the funds needed to not only travel, but to help feed and support these children, if only for a short time. A great deal of thanks goes to the congregation for their unwavering support and willingness to buy all our barbequed chicken, Easter candy, hot dogs, and so forth!
Add to that trip the Youth Mission trip this year. They leave on the 27th and are headed for a work mission in Rockingham, North Carolina. This is something they have had on the calendar for some time, and have been looking forward to for about as long! You in the congregation, both here and those at home, still have a mission of your own; please pray every day for these folks. Pray for the travelers you know by name, and for those you don't know. Pray for the children and the orphanage households. Pray for our youth, and those from Grace Baptist of Millersville, who are joining efforts in North Carolina.
Missions has become a priority at Salem Hellers. It is our prayer that we continue to be on fire for Christ in our mission both here and away from here. For the next couple of weeks, as we are gone, please follow our trials and travails, as well as our joy and fun on our blog link on our homepage. Thanks again for your continued love and support.
