2010 Mexico Mission Report

Marshall Sansbury and a group of volunteers from Lighthosue Fellowship traveled to Casa Hogar La Familia, Palamerito, Mexico in August. Following is his report:

"Seven of us, ready at the airport bright and early Sunday morning waiting to get on the plane to Mexico City , then on to Tecamachalco by bus. That’s where we would be staying while on the mission trip to the children's home. I thought about all the many trips by Lighthouse before this one, different faces but all the same hearts. Going to voluntarily be out of their comfort Zone for eight days. I wished that they could all understand right away what this trip would mean to the children at La Familia. Maybe that might make them feel Angels and the Holy Spirit traveling with them." >> Read more

Faith in Action is Coming!!!

Faith in Action Sunday will be here before we know it.   On Sunday Oct 24, 2010, we will have one very short church service at 9:00 am, after which the church will “take it to the streets” and BE the church in the community.    We will reach out to our community by performing acts of  Christian love and service.   Get together with your Neighborhood Group, your Sunday School Class, or any group of friends, and look around your neighborhood,  identify a need,  and make preparations to address that need on Faith in Action Sunday, Oct 24.   Don’t miss this event – you will touch others’ lives and you will be blessed.
