I Love Missions Convention!

I love the message, the people, and the foods of our annual Missions Convention!

You cannot help but refocus on the message of the good news of Jesus and our responsibility to go, carrying that message everywhere. It always burns deeper in me after this week.

Although Facebook is great, Missions Convention is a time to reconnect “face to face” with some of the greatest people on the planet – missionaries. It is a joy to share with people who have committed themselves so sacrificially to the cause of Christ. Bernie and Brenda Smith truly exemplify that as they represent us in the nations of West Africa. What a joy to have them with us today!

And then there is the food. Seems our “Flavors Around The World” Banquet gets bigger and better each year. One friend dubbed it “around the world in eighty bites”. What a great assortment. There was something for everyone.

I cannot wait until Wednesday!
