Well, it's that time! This Sunday we'll be leaving for Peru, so if you haven't packed yet, better get on it (which means me). Also, we were contacted today about trip insurance, so if you haven't responded to Kevin's email, you need to do so immediately. Sad to hear that Brandon Bennett will not be able to go with us, but I think we will be able to use his ticket for him later on (maybe December, Pollett is checking). I'm pumped to go, I believe that we are going to have an amazing time, and that the Lord is going to work through us in a mighty way! Great things are happening at Summit right now, and it's just the summer. I cannot wait for the rest of the students to return to join in the work of God. Today I got some great news from some great friends! Also, this morning I had a guy email to ask how he could serve in Summit, said he didn't have much time but felt like he needed to be used in anyway. We NEED MEN, we must have Biblical Christian God-glorifying MEN to serve! Women are very important, but honestly they've been doing a lot of work. The MEN need to step it up and be leaders and be servants and get involved! (that's a rant for another time) While all of this great stuff is going at Summit and God is moving, we also see some families with issues of conflict, those that have family memebers who are sick or are dying in some cases. We must continue to keep these in prayer and minister to these families in anyway in their time of need. Get ready for Peru! Those that are going pack, those that are not PRAY! You are either a sender or a messenger sent and supported by someone. Everything that everyone has done for this 1st Summit mission trip of many (if the Lord sees fit), is appreciated and we are so very thankful for your prayers and time. We hope to bring back news that God is at work and the gospel is spreading through the villages, in any part, we've seen the Lord move through you and glorify God for that.
"But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?" So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world." Romans 10:13-18
