It was absolutely beautiful praising the Lord together. After that they asked me to learn a ZULU song and taught me one on the spot. I couldn't understand the words except Alleluia.

Jen Schmidt, missionary to Mexico

If I could pick only one sentence to describe ministry this past summer, I would say, "I saw God bring change"! Change happened on many levels. I saw God bring change to the RETO church. A construction team from Visalia, CA in late June built a beautiful new multi-use sports court. I am so excited for the new community outreach possibilities! Pray that God will use these community outreach opportunities to open doors and build relationships with our neighbours.

The team was greatly impressed with how the missionaries served their team. Greatly humbled by the economic state of the country, the team was challenged to use their gifts as resources for Kingdom work.

japan.jpgSummer Day Camps: Changed Lives
Laurence Hiebert, missionary to Japan

God is always surprising us!! We just finished evaluating our summer day camps and stand amazed at God's rich blessing. The dates chosen for our church to hold day camps this summer regrettably did not work for the average Japanese family. Very few people indicated that they would be attending and discouragement began to filter into the team. So we prayed. We invited you to pray. We discussed what God would have us do and moved forward in faith and expectation.
