Africa: Visit Coming to an End


It is hard to believe that the time is coming to an end.

This world is so different than ours- their is a challenge to living in this context. It is great to see that Doug and Deanna have found their place and that they are being used here to touch the lives of many people. Let's continue to pray for them.

The week has gone by quickly. It has been physically, mentally and emotionally taxing- but worth it all. There is so much to process. New relationships and bridges have been built. It is impressive to see how open and inviting the people have been. It will be good to see the fruit that comes from the investment that we, at Cornerstone, have made in these lives. May God bring a harvest.

I am more aware of the great blessing that it is to be a part of Cornerstone. God has blessed us as a church. It is great to be a part of such a caring and loving group of people. We have great opportunities to share this blessing with others-- and to encourage and support each other during challenging times. I have been praying for the church, and for those who are facing challenges during this time. May God's grace and goodness continue to carry us. Let's draw strength from Him and from the community.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Blessings.
