Recently Spoke at UNA's ILR
Recently we were invited with a group from our church to speak about Paraguay at a meeting of UNA's Institute for Learning in Retirement. We gave a quick history of Paraguay and showed some pictures of the projects that our church supports, and talked about our recent mission trips to Paraguay. We also sold some of the Toba Indian crafts that we bought on our last trip and handed out some prayer cards. It was great! They asked lots of good questions. They even invited us to the refreshments they were having afterward.

Commissioning Service
I've been meaning to blog about our Commissioning Service for a while...
...but it is kind of hard to describe.
The service was on September 10th and located in Norcross, GA near the Mission Society offices. We met the Board members for the first time. It was also great to met the other missionaries who we haven't met before. It was great to see how much the staff and Board really care about missions.
There was great worship, speakers, discussion time, fellowship time, and food. We learned a lot, as we always do at each visit to Norcross.
We were blessed to have some of our church family there with us. It was a very special time.
What a mighty God we serve!
