We are on our Final Thank You Tour / Home Assignment! Thank you for your prayers! Oasis Chapel held a very fun appreciation lunch party for us our last Sunday in Rifu with over 80 people! They had a contest answering questions about us, questions we had given answers to prior to the party. The 8 teams were very competitive with lots of cheering when the answers were right. The “English Café” team came in 2nd. The first place team was named “Gordon and Lee Ann’s fan club”!

When people hear the word mission, they often picture someone boarding a plane, learning a new language, or moving halfway around the world. While those are certainly ways people participate in God’s mission, they are far from the only ways. The truth is that mission usually begins much closer to home. 

Many people are carrying burdens of loneliness, uncertainty, disappointment, or searching for purpose. They are looking for something that will satisfy. The world offers temporary ways to cope, but only Jesus offers lasting refreshment for the soul.
