Thanks to modern technology our family could share a small part in Faith Bible Baptist’s missions conference this year. Our pastor and home church called through skype to check in with us and let us know that they are praying for our family. We had a lot of laughs and shed a few tears as we talked with our friends and loved ones. It brought back so many memories and challenged us to continue serving the Lord here in Cebu. We aren’t running this race alone, others are watching and that’s just one of the reasons why we must press on. Each of us touches a life and those same people, both saved and lost, need to see the Lord work in our lives! I know it was an encouragement for me to see the same faces still in church and excited about their missions conference! Hebrews 12:1-2, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”
