Russ Crane and I are travelling to visit the GTM ministry in Pajok, South Sudan on 12 October. We are very excited and rushed to finish the preparations! This year we plan to teach, Lord willing, the book of Colossians. Therese, George 2x, Lucy, and maybe Helen are coming up from Uganda to help teach. The theme will be truly knowing and following Jesus Christ. There are many who claim Jesus but do not have works befitting of repentance. Their lives are worldly with a veneer of Christianity loosely applied. This is true here in America and abroad. Our desire is to call people to the truth of Christ's call.
Mark 8:34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 "Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."
There are also many Born Again Christians who need to be strengthened and washed in the water of the Word of God.
The topics that are covered in Colossians:
Their Faith in
Christ
Preeminence of
Christ
Reconciled in
Christ
Sacrificial Service
for Christ
Not Philosophy but
Christ
Not Legalism but
Christ
Not Carnality but
Christ
The Christian Home
Christian
Graces
If we can obtain enough "Hebrews - Men of Faith" coloring books, we will teach the children about faith and how it defined the lives of the faithful in Hebrews chapter 11.
We ask you to pray with us for this trip to be inline with the Lord's will, that His word would be rightly divided, people would have ears to hear, hearts prepared to receive, and the Lord providing the increase. The dates of the trip are: 12-26 October 2014.
Thank you! Grace & Peace is found in Jesus Christ alone.
