Twas the night before…

the second YOAM trip to Slidell, and the details are calling…they have changed, but the mission is the same; To be a missionary for our God. We will, as the scripture in Matthew 9:37 goes, go out into the harvest, which is plentiful, as the disciples were directed to go out where the workers are few. We are 43 in number, but the task is still monumental in Slidell and the Gulf region even this 2 and a half years after the devastation of Katrina. What God has in store for us we do not know, but I believe this will be an awe-filled, awesome experience, an adventure in which we will be transformed, and God will use us in amazing ways to be in service to Him. I am looking forward to being in that service and to being led by the amazing youth of this YOAM trip to see God and His harvest in new ways, and be in fellowship with the people of Slidell as we do the work we are called to this evening and this coming week.

Please pray for YOAM and a safe mission experience for all. Pray that we will be held in God’s safe embrace, that we will experience His presence as we do His work, and we will carry His message to others through our words and deeds.

In case of an emergency please contact myself, at (301) 452-5077, or Amanda Watson (youth pastor at Bethany UMC) at (410) 300-7542. We will be able to contact anyone on the trip.

God bless you all, in His service,

Mark
