Missions Giving and ELVIS







We just finished a FABULOUS Missions Convention!

It was almost eclectic in style...Missionaries from Thailand, Poland, Indonesia and ministries like Youth For Christ, Teen Challenge and the Gideons!
I was so encouraged by all the tremendous challenges to follow the very Heart of God: Missions efforts: spreading the gospel. We even had the Stewarts prepare an INDONESIAN MEAL and OH the fun that was had...

So what does Elvis have to do with Missions giving?
Holly and I traveled to Mississippi to see her best friend, Melisma. Today happens to be her bday! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISMA)
Anyway, while visiiting Misma we went to GRACELAND.

During the missions convention my mind wandered to something truly enspiring about Elvis' life! He was a very giving man. He understood, despite his overwhelming riches, that it truly is more blessed to give than to receive...

I was a little disappointed by the missions faith promises this year. I pray for a financial miracle for my church and family. He promised to open up the floodgates of Heaven when we put Him first (Malachi 3)...
