We are called to GO so we are going!
Our DSC Mission Team leave this Sunday, June 14 for La Mision, Baja California, Mexico. Will you please commit to pray for us each day? We will be constructing an apartment for Open Arms Childcare Ministry, doing crafts, having bible & play time each day with the 60 kids they care for. We will also serve at the Door of Faith Orphanage with crafts and games for the 100 children that live there full time, one big big family. To share Jesus with these children, help some families with home repairs & help construction on an apartment are all a privilege.
Last year I personally committed to serving the Lord outside our church and outside our community at least one week a year. I pray that others will do the same. One week to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in greatest need is humbling, believe me. Being obedient to Jesus command to "Follow Me" is not always our top priority...we are comfortable, rather send funds, or pay for others to go. I believe if you can physically go - you are to go.
Our world is filled with human suffering, hunger, persecution, poverty, violence and injustice. We hold in our hands the answer - JESUS! For He will give new eternal life, hope, strength, wisdom, comfort and peace...no matter the circumstance.
To help you understand the importance of serving others I have listed some great books to read. They will challenge and change you, for the purpose God has intended for each of us.
SUGGESTED BOOKS TO READ:
Follow Me, by David Platt
Called, by Mark Labbberton
Live to Make A Difference, by Max Lucado
Going All In, by Mark Batterson
Missions Update
Our very own Desert Springs family member, Sherry Bernheisel is filled with JOY as she serves the LORD in La Mision, Mexico. She is teaching the children about Jesus at Open Arms Childcare Ministry by telling bible stories and doing crafts with them, making cookies and planning special events.
Sherry felt the call to move there last summer on our mission trip. It took almost a year for all things to fall in place, but she never lost sight of her calling. The Lord has provided for her every need and has filled her with a peace that passes all understanding.
We are looking forward to being with Sherry on this years Mexico Mission Trip from June 14-19. Please pray for Sherry each day and pray for our team as we travel and serve others, thank you!
