Kentucky Missions

During the last week I had a great opportunity to spend some time in eastern Kentucky on a mission trip with around 30 youth and adults from the church. Our God is so good in leading us to Big Creek Missions in Kentucky. Clay and Leslie counties, where big creek operates, are two of the top ten poorest counties in the U.S., there is great physical need there. There is also great spiritual need, as they in many ways are hopeless in this present world. This was a week where God was at work in our group. Many had their eyes opened to life outside of our safe little box, may God continue that and call many of these to leave the safety of home and take the gospel forward to the nations. May we understand better and better all the time about the mandate of missions to us as believers and serve Him faithfully, not wasting our lives here. As I wrap up this post, allow me to commend Big Creek Missions and the director Kevin Rogers. I have been to many youth camps over the years, this one however stands above them all in a love and commitment to God and His word and a love and commitment to the lost and hurting around them. I would highly recommend Big Creek Missions to anyone interested in obeying the Lord and being on mission. Check out bigcreekmissions.com for more info.
