This week my family and I packing our bags and going on a mission trip. We aren’t going far—only about 3 minutes away. Our church, First Baptist Jasper, will be on mission this week in our city. Some of us will be staying at the church throughout the week.
The idea came to us about 4 months ago when our summer mission trip to Connecticut fell through. We decided that we could take a mission trip in our own backyard. So we began planning things as if some from our church were a “host” team and others from our church where on the “missions” team.
For four months now we have planned various activities and various ways to share the gospel and impact Jasper with the unchanging truth of the gospel.
So pray for us this week. Also note that posting will be somewhat slow this week at Borrowed Light. There may be a few times that I can get away for a few moments and write something out—probably telling you of a few things that the Lord is doing. But it’s also possible that this will be my last post until next week. Either way, please pray for us that our church is strengthened, our city is impacted, and most of all that God is glorified.
I like it!

God bless you in your efforts to tell of the great thing that He has done for us.
