We just want to let you in on a blessing. We have at least two of our church members on missions at this time. We wanted you to know about their Mission Blogs that they are registering for you to keep up with the exciting things they are seeing God do every day. Please take a moment to go to their blogs…you will be blessed. Leave them a message of encouragement!

Jim Harris : http://jimh201.blogspot.com/

Jim is traveling with Passion 2010 World Tour. Passion 2010 World tour is a group of well known Christian Worship Bands along with Louie Gigglio. ( David Crowder Band, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redmann, Christy Knockles to name just a few) Passion is taking the Word and Worship to thousands of College students across the World. So far they have been amazed at the moving of the Holy Spirit in Kiev, Ukraine and London, England. They have 3 conferences under their belt and many more to go. At each conference the kids pray for the next group that will be visited by Passion 2010. Right now there are kids all over London praying for Tokyo which is the next stop on the tour. Please pray for this tour to transform kids all over this world. The group left London today for their Tokyo conference. I am not sure the exact order but they will be visiting Manila, Hong Kong, San Paulo, and Vancouver.

Jim’s blog reflects his heart, his PASSION for being where God wants him to be. To become less so that God can make him more. What an appropriate tour for him to be on! Jim has been very faithful to enter daily the things that he is experiencing during the conferences and just his own daily discoveries that God is putting on his heart. Don’t miss this one!!!

Trayce Hood : cotsmissions.com

Trayce is traveling with CCU2the World…which is a mission group from her University. This group is student driven and student organized. Their mission is to the people of Northern Thailand – Chiang Mai and the Lahu Villages. The first week they have spent getting acclimated…working on their Thai phrases, getting their clocks regulated and doing a few mission programs to get rolling. They are teaching English, loving on an Orphanage full of children, and re-building a village the burned down recently.

Trayce has been blogging on our own missions blog listed above. She is not able to blog every day because of availability, but so far approx every 2 to 3 days she has been able to drop a line. She will be going into the villages for a week in a day or two, so we won’t have coverage there. Get her a message on the website to encourage her during that time. Visit our COTS mission website listed above to keep up with what she see’s and pray that God will open her eyes to many things. ( Thailand shirts are here and will be distributed on Sunday)

Thailand as you may have seen is in turmoil, most specifically in Bangkok. Dean and Lisa Jasper have friends that are permanent missionaries to the Thai people and they are also in Chiang Mai. Their names are Jeff and Jean Nease. They have a tremendous heart for this country and we ask on their behalf that you pray for the people of Thailand. Jeff said that this unrest is more of a spiritual battle than a physical battle. He sees that the enemy is trying to get a foothold in this country. He covets the prayers of God’s people to turn these wonderful people to the heart of God.

Thank you all for your support of these family members and your prayers,
