Short term mission

Graydon Colville - Friday 05 December 2014

After Christmas I'll be taking my 6th team on short term mission to an Asian country where, despite considerable opposition in the past, and some continuing opposition, the church is growing rapidly. During the trip we will work with local believers and have opportunities to share good news with several hundred people in their own languages using GRN recorded materials and interpreters. Sometimes it will be with individuals or family groups, sometimes in schools, churches and even in busy markets.

In the past we have seen several people come to the Lord and others take meaningful steps in that direction. Many hear the message fro the very first time. The darkness that binds the majority of the population is indeed strong. It is only the power of God that can break it but break it he does and when he does the transformation is amazing. One of the greatest joys of the trip is to worship with those who realise so clearly the darkness from which they have been rescued and celebrate and praise God with great passion and fervency.

Even so, perhaps the greater work that God does during the three and a half weeks of the trip is in the lives of the expatriate team members who go (This time from Australia and the USA). It is a potentially life changing experience.

The local believers don't really need us in order to share the good news but in partnering with them both we and they are blessed. Please pray with us for God's work to be done and his name honoured through this ministry trip.
