Helping Hands Mission Trip to Mississippi in January

Let's finish off what we started one year ago!  In November, 2008, a group of Helping Hands volunteers poured the concrete floor of a small Baptist Church in Cary, Mississippi.  Now, that new church building is constructed, shingled with windows and doors installed.  Let's come alongside these fellow believers and help them finish the wiring, insulating and sheet rocking on their new Church!  Our group will be leaving on Saturday, January 9, 2009, at 3:00 am, and returning on the evening of Saturday, January 16.  Please pray for us as we prepare, Lord willing, to lend a helping hand to those in need.  If you would like to join us or if you have any questions, please contact: Duane Bonnema or Andy Ypma

1 John 3:16 - 18

"This is how we know what love is:  Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.  If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?  Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
