Parents and Students,Happy New Year! I want to thank our faith family at GCBC for their prayer support while our team ministered in Mexico. It was an amazing trip. You would have been proud of our young people. They jumped in with everyone else and were hands and feet for Jesus. They served the people across the border with love and generosity. There were many people who made professions of faith and many more who heard the Gospel as well. It was truly an awesome time.
There were over 400 believers from all over the USA that came together at Way of the Cross Ministries to participate in the “Big Feed.” We would stay at the ministry site in Harlingen, TX at night and then travel across the border during the day to serve. Someone estimated that we probably fed over 10,000 people that day. The staff at Way of the Cross was very encouraging too. They lead us in worship services at night after a day of serving others. It was a blessing to me to see so many people from different ethnicities loving one another and bragging on Jesus Christ – kind of sounds like heaven don’t it?!
Our team, from north MS, was comprised of 28 people. There was several churches represented and the Lord really blessed us with great attitudes and appreciation for one another. I don't ever remember laughing as hard as I did at times either. Anthony…you are hilarious! I am glad the Lord allowed me to meet so many great people.Please feel free to ask our team about the trip. We should have our pictures together soon to show to those curious about the trip. I want to remind you, it is always a treat when God allows us, as a group of believers, to "get in" on His-story.
Thanks again to those who went and especially to Grayling Cromeans and Bro. Mickey who initiated it all from our church to work with Lowell Humphries from First Baptist Red Bay. You guys are a blessing.
Takin’ it to the streets,
SB
