SCC Missions Reponds
This past month SCC Missions responded to the refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe. We sent a total of $16,000 to help meet the demanding needs. To make sure that the Gospel was a part of that effort, the money was sent to help our missionary on the ground in Jordan and also through Samaritan's Purse. Thank you, SCC, for your faithful giving to missions and helping to impact the globe for Christ!
Papua New Guinea Trip ??
As most of you know, the Owen family has been in Papua New Guinea since this past summer. They are now planning a VBS during one of their annual missions gatherings. The dates are Jan 18- 22, 2016. One of the needs they have is for people to run the VBS. If you are interested in helping by making the trip to PNG please let Pastor Brad know as soon as possible.
Lifeline Life Walk
If you believe in Pro-Life please consider joining us in Lifeline Family Center's Annual Life Walk. This is a great fundraiser for an incredible ministry right here in Cape Coral. Click here for more info (you need to register by Nov. 23).
Roatan 2016
"Our team wants to thank everyone that has so selflessly given so that we were able to go on this mission trip to Roatan. We are so grateful for a giving, caring, loving, missions-minded church."
Here are some pics from the trip.
Sandi and the Kids
After spending a week with this amazing family, it was time to say goodbye; parting was such sweet sorrow.
Janka and Vicki
Our main work project was to scrub the walls, paint them with oil paint, take everything out of every cabinet (purging, and cleaning as we went), and then putting everything back together, all while the kitchen crew was cooking 3 meals a day in a kitchen temp that ran around 125 F.
Iris and Son
Tuesday, we delivered food bags w/Pastor Marvin, to the neediest of needy families from his congregation; when we returned Thursday with a handpicked suitcase of shoes, clothing, toys, candy...Iris and her son were outside eagerly awaiting our arrival; she was beaming ear to ear.
Sandi and Janka with Melody and Carmen
Melody and Carmen were also anxiously awaiting our return; their mom broke down both days overcome with gratitude to the God who heard and answered her prayers for help.
Some of the Older Orphans
Greenfield Children's Home has a lovely school for the kids (K-6 or so); with an emphasis on bi-linqual education; working with them in-house to catch them up, before sending them out to the higher grades off-site; here some of the older ones bow after a play they performed for us.
The Boat used for some of the Travel
"Trust me; Trust me, to meet you as soon as you step out, trust me to provide all of your needs, trust me to calm your fears."
A Word about Special Missions Offerings
Every month we highlight one of the mission partners with which we are in close relationship. These monthly offerings serve to expose the ministry to the larger congregation and help us raise the funds that we have committed to that particular partner for the 2015 year. If you have any questions about the SMO's or the missions budget in general please don't hesitate to contact Pastor Brad.
