Village Missions

Well, for those of you who don't know, Misty and I are part of a group called Village Missions. Click on the link for more information on them. One thing I love about VM is the fact that once I'm placed on a field as a missionary/pastor, I am NOT left to go it alone. Starting this past fall the other Village Missionaries in the area have met together once a month for prayer, encouragement, and of course lunch. Misty and I have absolutely loved getting together with them. It encourages us personally and also spurs us to have a better ministry where we are.

During this last meeting the men in the group decided we needed to get together as men. Our goal is to build our friendships and also pray for each other during this time as well. Last night was our first meeting. This was a great time and we are already trying to figure out what we'll do next time.

To other Village Missionaries, if you live even two hours away from the closest missionary, make a point of getting together with them. We've been meeting once a month but would love to do it more. It is more than worth your time and even more valuable than the gas it takes to get there. (Regardless of how much it is.)
