For the past week, our team has been in College Station, TX with the A&M Church of Christ. This wonderful church, which is dear to our team, has graciously decided to support our team during our year of training. As part of their new missions strategy, the A&M Church has allocated most of their missions budget to equipping mission teams for future ministry. It is nearly impossible to express how valuable this support is for us. Without this support, our team would not be able to devote all of our time to training. With this support, we are able to spend our time learning Spanish, team building, learning Peruvian culture, planning, and fund raising, among other things. It is hard to imagine how we could be training without their support.
This coming Sunday (Oct. 7) is the A&M Church’s Missions Sunday, on which they will take up a special contribution for our team. In response to their support, we have spent the last week meeting with church members, teaching classes, continuing our training, and enjoying some wonderful hospitality. This is the least that we could do for all that they have given us! Please pray for this Sunday, which will mark the official beginning of our partnership with the A&M Church of Christ. Pray that God will continue to bless this congregation as they seek to equip mission teams for their future ministry. And please continue to pray for our team in every aspect of our training!
