Chairman's Corner - George Stalter

About a year ago the youth in the church I attend decided to do a mission project in June. Young people and adult advisors would do practical projects to improve the facilities of a mission outreach in a rural part of a neighboring state.

As missions chairman, I had hoped for a number of years we would initiate and carry out a project like this from within our own church. As planning progressed I became more excited and ready to go. I prayed that everyone could go that wanted to and that God would put a fire in everyone’s heart for helping others.

The mission trip took place as planned and everyone was enthusiastic about the work. There was already talk about another trip "next year".

Over twenty-two years ago one person had a fire in his heart to help others all over the world through training others and repairing planes for mission aviation. Today we have a growing number of people at MMS with a burning desire to help others know God loves them and offers eternal life.

Here at MMS we need your prayers that God will give us the ability to do the things He wants us to and will keep the fire burning in our hearts to help others.
