We recently finished a missions conference at Berean Baptist Church where we and 4 other missionary couples got to present our ministries and become part of their church body for a week. We weren’t sure what to expect heading into the week, but we were blessed in more ways than we could’ve imagined. I haven’t been around a church before that makes such an intentional and concentrated effort to promote missions and minister to missionaries. We were overwhelmed with the encouragement and love that was showered on us!
The end of the week brought a mixture of fulfillment and longing, but that longing reminds us we aren’t created for this world. The unity of fellowship & joy we experienced as we worshiped together gave us just a glimpse of what heaven will be like. As excited as we are to arrive in Odessa, we long even more for the day when we will not have to say goodbye to our brothers & sisters because we’ll be worshiping together in the Presence of our Savior!
