Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:27 (ESV)
We began packing the donated supplies for our upcoming mission trip to the Cabaret Children's Home in Haiti. Our trip is from August 1-8. Thank you for being such a generous church. You can see from the pictures that you truly responded to the call to help the boys and girls of Haiti! Thank you! (I am also grateful to David Garrett of the Jacksonville Baptist Association for his passion for missions!)
Here is how you can help us as we go.
- Pray. Pray for safety. Ask God to use us as His servants in our witness and work.Pray that God will be glorified through us.
- Learn. Visit the JBA Haiti website and learn more about this wonderful ministry of our network of churches called the Jacksonville Baptist Association. You will be blessed!
- Give. It is not too late to make a financial contribution to this trip. Contact Lori Gray at the church office at 904-642-2288 for more information on making a contribution. No gift is too small.
Have you ever been on a mission trip? Where did you go? What did God do through you? How can we live as missionaries right here at home? What does James 1:27 teach us about real religion? Leave your comments below. I would love to hear from you!
