Our church just had our Global Impact Celebration, or GIC. It's a time where the church brings in several of the missionaries we support. The goal of GIC is to get everyone in the church involved in the mission field in some way. To light a fire in the hearts of the people here in Fayetteville and be a part of God's great plan. That can be done through praying for our missionaries, serving, giving, or going yourself. We heard stories from the missionaries and celebrate what has been accomplished and pray for their future goals.
We heard about local ministires - prayer counseling inside the church, regional - a ministry that collects, processes, and ships humanitarian aid based in NC, and international - missions in South and North Korea.
It was a great time, and in the 5 day event, they were able to raise more than their goal of $300,000. I am excited to be a part of a church with a "Vision to change the world". We are in 30-40 countries already.
Bryan and I hope to get involved in prayer counseling. We need to take a few classes first, we will probably finish the classes in 6 months or so.
I want to link you to Pastor Micheal's message on Feb. 24, the last day of GIC. Goto our church website http://www.mannachurch.org/ click the bottom left "Resources" button, then find the 2/24/08 "Mission Possible" message.
