Sunday - Home and Worship with Our Church Family

The team arrived in Charlotte Saturday evening after a 3 hour flight from Belize and cleared immigration and customs with no problems.  After a short supper stop we arrived at church around 9:30 last night.  We were greeted by family members and got unloaded in record time.  After a long day of travel sleeping in our own beds was most welcome.

It was nice to return to church today and worship with our church family.  Music and the spoken word centered on Isaiah 40.

²⁸ Do you not know?
   Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
   the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
   and his understanding no one can fathom.
²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
   and increases the power of the weak.
³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
   and young men stumble and fall;
³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
   will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
   they will run and not grow weary,
   they will walk and not be faint.

We are fortunate to be a part of a church family that values missions and makes it possible for teams to go "on mission" in many places, from the local mission field here in McDowell County to distant places such as Belize.  Thank you everyone for your prayers and support.

The team will be scheduling a time to report on the trip.  Look for an announcement on the day and time.

Over the next few days more pictures and reflections will be posted on the blog, so keep checking back to see more!
