We are blessed to have had many, many people come through
Cofradía to work on the church, the mission base, and in the community coupled
with ministering to children, youth, and adults; sometimes in a general sense,
mostly with a specific purpose. We
are very thankful for these Short Term Missionaries who made commitments to
help shine the light of Jesus in the hearts of people. We welcome you if you would like to do
the same or reconnect with a friend you made in this ministry. One of the most impactful things we can
do is build relationships.
Building relationship is what Cy-Fair Christian Church from
Houston, Texas has done for many years by sending youth teams and adult teams to
minister with a specific purpose in mind.
Each year they send a team of women to minister to the women in our
church. What an exciting time! All year long our women look forward to
their return. The past couple of
years, they have finished their time with a huge overnight pajama party just
for women while the children stay home with their dads. The only thing I know is that they stay
up all night long and their singing and laughter can be heard beyond the
confines of the church walls. The
excitement that is heard is incredible.
The relationships that are built and nurtured are unforgettable. God's work through them is undeniable. They laugh together and they cry
together. Amazing.
One of the team members has been writing about her
experiences and the relationships she has built. She has given me permission to pass this link on to you: Click Here.
His Place Community Church from Burlington, Washington is
another team that comes down frequently as a construction team to accomplish
specific jobs. They have become
well known here as hard workers and very relational. This week they are here working on the church's courtyard
installing a special cobblestone, which will be very nice during the rainy
season, as it gets really muddy.
They are doing a great job.
If you have an interest in serving people through missions,
I invite you to be part of or put together a team. There are many things we can do. Let's be creative and partner together to help support the
local church, raise up leaders, serve the community, and share the love of
Jesus to those who don't know him.
