Open Letter to Matt and Laurie

Matt and Laurie, we missed you last night. I wished that you could have been there. It was a very special meeting. A bit of a change of pace. Last night we discussed our core value of missions, and hosted Ariel Rainey (missionary to France)to talk about missions and being a missionary. She spoke for about 50 minutes and then we discussed what it would look like to value missions. It was great because last week we discussed our value of "growth", and we believe that Growth and Missions are linked. The more we give and participate in missions worldwide, the more our mission at home will be blessed. A lot of people there last night left with a whole new perspective of missions, and a heart to support missions around the world.
