Breakfast with Missionaries

This morning I had the privilege of meeting with friends and missionaries, Dan and Sue Maksim. This couple is the first missionaries we've ever had speak at our Large Group Gathering on Sunday morning. Their message is available by clicking here.

So much of missions is related to the relationship that missionaries build with the church, and that is why missionaries often ask Pastor's to go to share a meal. At that meal we talked about SRC and our unfolding and expanding plan for missions. We also talked about the work of the US Center for World Mission. It was a good breakfast. In case you're wondering we went to the Double T Diner around the corner from my house. And I had the oatmeal. Delectable. I really like that DTD has white grape rasins for the oatmeal. It's a unique thing.

I wanted to reference a couple of the books that Dan and Sue recommended on Sunday, in case you want to pick them up. Be Warned. I'm linking for information only. For best prices call 1-800-647-7466.

Thanks to Sue and Dan for their affirmation of our work here at SRC. They asked me today how they could help SRC grow. I told them that if they wanted our church to grow they should let us give them money for their work. At Severn River Church we believe that you can't out-give God. By giving money away that comes into our church we will see growth, it's called the law of sowing and reaping. The more we sow into the missionfield, the more we harvest here at our church. Thank God we can support missions.

Please be praying about your faith commitments. Don't forget we'll be collecting them in our small groups.
