So a couple weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to go on an all expense paid, home missions trip to Colorado! Sounds intriguing, right? ....So, I said yes! The week before I was dreading it. Going to Colorado sounded like fun, but going with the people that was going...not so much! But I think it was God's will for me to go because I tried making other plans and they fell through.
So, here I am in Greeley, Colorado! We came in Wednesday night really late and the family was automatically warm and welcoming, which made me feel more comfortable. Thursday night church was scheduled. I was teaching Sunday school. We did puppets and taught our lesson on "God is Bigger"!
Friday we helped set up for their daughters graduation and that night we had another service! Johnnie preached on "We are people of the Name" ....Good stuff!
Saturday we helped with the graduation, which wasn't a big deal at all, but they were so grateful. That night they found out I could sing and play....
So, Sunday I sang and played the piano, but Sunday was fantastic. I taught the little kiddos about Jesus being the Reason for the Season. They are so precious. That afternoon we went to a smaller home missions church about an hour away. They found out I felt called to preach...so I preached on "Worshiping instead of Worrying" and Nate preached on "The Power of Magnification" and Johnnie preached on "God's Presence Identifies Us". All great and Bro. Cabrerra was so grateful, but honestly he blessed us. As did the Kiwimagi's! It just grew my love and desire to help small churches. They are so important. They're set in these remote area's where churches are so needed and they have such an opportunity to reach that city. I'm so privileged to be a part of this trip ...and I don't regret coming at all:D
......and I grew more fond of the people that came too lol
Mark 9:35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”
