Parents and Students, For several weeks now we have “earmarked” our weekly Refuge offerings to go toward gift bags and other expenses for the “Christmas Across the Border” mission trip to Mexico. I want to thank you for providing for this trip. We were able to make 12 gift bags from the offerings given by our students! This does not include all the gift bags given by the rest of our faith family at GC, nor does it include all the bicycles donated either! This past Saturday Daniel Syers, and some of our GC Crew, was able to help Lowell Humphries, from First Baptist of Red Bay, prepare gift bags with donations provided by neighboring churches and businesses. They were able to package up over 800 gift bags! Many children are going to be blessed as they receive these gift bags and bicycles during this Christmas Holiday.
God has put together an awesome team for this trip and I look forward to seeing what the Lord is going to do. We will be traveling across the border into Mexico for two days to feed families, disperse gift bags, give away bicycles, hand out gospel tracts and New Testaments, and preach in an area known as Matamoros.Pray that whole experience would enrich our relationships with Jesus and people would come to faith in Christ. Pray for the mission organization we are working with, Way of the Cross, that they would have the wisdom to maximize our teams to reach as many people as possible as we attempt to put hands and feet to the Gospel.
Romans 2:4,
SB
