Last Sunday at our local church Wagarville Community United Methodist Church, Rev. Vince Nader commissioned us for our Liberia Trip. These were the words of commission. Duane and Diana, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I charge you to serve as our representatives for the mission you are about to undertake. Go with joy. Witness for your Master. Represent the Church of Jesus Christ. Represent us. Encourage and inspire all of us in our Christian commitment. And may God richly bless and keep you on your mission. Amen.
This gives a good perspective to keep in mind as we at times frantically get ready to go.
(Pastor Vince is wearing a coat because the furnace wasn’t working that day. It was about 46 degrees. Quite a contrast to the temperatures in Liberia. It was 88 degrees there today.)
