Global Impact
my def: Making a positive difference to people that live in cultures and countries other than my own.
One very cool thing about making a global impact is that often the impact reverberates right back into your own life. As you learn about others and help them, they often help you just as much. It’s community, a global community.
This weekend was Global Impact Weekend at our church. We had a youth event friday night where we did a live Skype call with a great friend of ours who is a missionary in Taiwan. Mike did a great job and shared with the youth that he wouldn’t trade his life as a missionary for anything.
Saturday we held a huge fall supper to raise funds for a short term missions trip to Turkey and K*stan next year. 139 people came and over $3000 was raised! Wow! It is amazing how generous people can be! Sunday Ben and I had the chance to share with our church about our plans for 2010 and also the message for the morning. Ben preached and did a great job- have 20 minutes to listen? Check it out here, you’ll see the link on the left side of the page: www.kilcona.org
By monday morning Ben and I crashed and had a nice day to relax and do some work around the house (Thanks dad for helping with the soffits). Now we are onto preparing for: Ephesians (we teach every sunday), a workshop for Camp Arnes staff, a teaching trip with Titus Project to Armenia and Titus Project in Sweden! We may be home, but we are definitely not lacking things to do. One main focus we have for being at home is connecting with people, so please contact us if you would like to get together. We are leaving for Taiwan December 28th.
