Mali Missions Trip

Greetings from the Mali team. It’s been another long day… but good day. Neisha, Vickie and Amy put in another 6 hours plus of caring for the missionaries children; Josh and Teresa continue to provide leadership in worship, resulting in some pretty cool times of lifting up the name of Jesus – the Mali missionaries love to sing and have great voices; and I had opportunity to do a 1 hour ‘Love and Respect’ seminar this afternoon, which was a lot of fun. In the morning sessions, I have been preaching from the book of Nehemiah… May we have hearts that care (Tuesday); external opposition (today); internal opposition (Thursday) and stay on the wall (Friday). Your prayers for miracles to happen in the lives that we are ministering to through His Word, worship and times of interaction are appreciated. Thank you.

We continue to be amazed at the stories we hear from those that God has called to serve Him full time as missionaries here in Mali. Romans 10:15 tells us: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.’ These missionaries truly have ‘beautiful feet’. God has called all of us to have ‘beautiful feet’ – to be a part of taking the Good News of Jesus to those around us so that others might hear, believe, and call on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:10-15).

We had the privilege of visiting a place where they make ‘mud cloth’ this afternoon. Via tree leaves and tree bark mixed in water… they are able to turn white, woven fabric into many colors… it was fun to learn about this unique process.
