Commissioning Sunday

As the remnant of Hurricane Hanna poured out the last of her torrential rains over the Maritime Provinces, our team was commissioned this morning in our various home churches.

Here, Pastor Joel Wydysh of Island Wesleyan Church, challenges Myrtis, Connie and Hank to fulfill our mandate, while our church family promises to support us in love and prayers.

Connie and Hank both were part of the 2007 team that helped build the Chilambula church in the Ndodzi area (and Myrtis drafted the words on the cornerstone that we installed), and we look forward to bringing greetings next Sunday to the congregation there.

Please pray for safety and good weather for travel, especially as it is the Atlantic hurricane season and we have a layover in Washington, D.C.
