After eight long but incredibly fulfilling days, we are finally back from our missions trip to Minneapolis. We had such an amazing time being able to minister to countless people in the Minneapolis area, sharing with them the good news of eternal hope that is found only in Jesus Christ.
While we are confident that many people we encountered this week will be strengthened and encouraged by their interactions with our group, we know that the biggest growth that took place over the course of the week undoubtedly happen within our hearts. It was awesome to see God work in so many ways during our time up north, and we give Him all of the glory for maturing us and continuing to conform us into His image.
I hope that you will join us this Wednesday at 7:00 PM to hear some of the great things that God was able to do in and through us on our trip. We will also be continuing our new series, "Believing Your Beliefs", so you definitely do not want to miss out.
Invite your friends to join you at Ignite this week! Can't wait to see you there!
