Hi Everyone :)

So we are now at just over 2 weeks until our departure date, May 11! We are all very excited for the work that we will be doing in Salvador and I pray that through this work that God will be glorified and the people we meet may come to a relationship with our Saviour. It has really hit me in recent months just how important this type of mission is. We are holding onto the words of life, words that redeem and save words that give life. Not just a life for here and now but one for an eternity. How can we, how can I, just hold onto these words and not share them with others, how can I not help but tell people about our God and what He has done for all of us. This definitely means that I will have to get out of my comfort zone – and that is a good thing. It means that I will have to trust and rely on God more fully in every area of my life - which is a great thing. It means that I must find my strength and courage in God – which is a wonderful thing. I am thankful for this opportunity to work in Salvador and I pray that I will continue to learn and grow and that sharing Jesus will become as natural as it should be in my life both on a mission trip and right here at home.

“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life...” Phil. 2:14-16

Love, Sarah
