Today at Mountain View Free Methodist Church in Upland, we were welcomed by Pastor Brian Cooper, his wife Heather and their incredible missions and hospitality crew, to kick off their 2009 Missions Season.
Pastor Brian and Heather have a great heart for Ethiopia. They have spent time there, loved on the Ethiopian people and brought a passion back to Southern California, for a mission district that is half a world away. Brian and Heather are proving to be GREAT supporters of the ministry and an amazing resource for us as well. We look forward to continued partnership with this amazing body of believers and lovers of Christ.
Today we learned that great encouragement
comes in knowing that someone is listening.
We were handed this handwritten poem on an envelope, as we packed up to go:
Touching Lives
Seven years ago, this very day,
A life transformed, God came to stay.
A loving family, a growing faith,
Kingdom value put in place.
Planting trees, touching lives,
A continent away, this point in time.
T.H.
The reference to "seven years ago this very day", was for Tim's salvation birthday, which is today, January 18. Mine was yesterday...January 17. We are blessed that Ted was listening :)
