We have our first Mission Trip Team planned for November 6th to the 16th. I am so excited about this team and how God has placed the very people together He desired to make an impact on our women and Sponsored Children. :)
We have a team of 12 women!! Funny really, how this was open to all, but God led 12 of the most amazing strong, and gifted women to our team. This confirmed that God wanted to focus on the Women and children this trip. We are already seeing His hearts desire for us as a team and for these women and Children. It is fun to see the team bonding already and know this is going to be a powerful dynamic team of Women.
We will be doing a two day Women's Conference and two days with the Orphans doing a mini VBS. We also are being blessed with the Police Officers that went last year to do the Police Conference. (see earlier posts) They will be doing a 2nd Conference and so we will also have a focus on the Police Department. The focus for the Police Department will be to do a follow up of the Ethics classes they gave in February as well as a First Aide course. Most importantly to continue relationships with Commander Adise and the Police Department as they seek to make a continued impact themselves on other communities bringing the passion and love of Jesus to other Police Departments. Wow!! It is seriously amazing seeing God change the way these Police Officers do what the do in the name and love of Jesus. Lives are changing.
We will be going into the Mens and Women's Prison as well and possibly speaking in the Sunday Worship Service in the Prison. We will also just be blessing and loving on the women and children of those who are in Prison with their mothers.
Please keep us in your prayers and we continue to plan the conferences and that we would be listening to all the Lord has for them. We desire for Jesus to be the center and for us to not get in the way.
We will also be doing some assessing on our next trips. What the needs will be and how we can best create a Kingdom Culture in Hosanna!
Our next trips will be the end of April with an emphasis on a building team to build a kitchen for the children's meals, and a second team focusing on basic medical needs and assess possible further needs.
