Finding we were walking inRight For You little girls from While An Agent Thats Birmingham, two
the holiday club were very happy to see us there. When I first heard about this mission trip, I thought it would be a cool thing but not possible for me. I asked God if I should or if I should come to the mission. I made the right decision. I have never been on a mission trip before, and this one week mission was a good way to start. I think Im really doing what God really wants for all believers to do. I dont know what will be the long term effects, but I think my faith has grown a little bit here. My attitude for missions has improved Jenna When thinking about this week, two things came in mind. First, is the encounter with the Muslim man. I doubt that it made any difference to him but I shared a message about a loving God who is for us not against us. This God loves the human race so much that He gave His son to die on the cross for us. It felt great to share this message. The second encounter was during Boys Club when we were talking about fasting and other rituals for Muslims. I didnt have a chance to tell my experiences about all that, but all in all, we had a good talk. For a while, my wife and I have been struggling with our place in Gods plan. This trip didnt actually clarify anything but it gave me a new point of view to look at. I bet that when we are home, are going to have many interesting conversations. I am now very certain what Gods plan may be for us and it definitely includes commitment to worldwide mission together with my wife. Arni
We respect, befriend and serve Muslims with whom we openly share our lives and values.

I have been thinking about the first church for some time and this outreach has continued my thinking about it.

understand my words correctly if Gods not with me. So briefly, I cant work without God as a missionary. This is surprisingly a big temptation, especially in Finland. Here, I had to ask Gods leading with everything I learned. I hope we will be this close always. Helena
Reaching Muslim people with the gospel with free Christian literatures, CDs and DVDs at the heart of Birmingham city center
I met a man at the book table who calls himself a Muslim. He was not clearly a devout
Muslim
but
he
identified I clearly
himself as one.
shared the gospel with him and gave him literature and a Jesus DVD to take home. During our conversation, he found it hard to understand God is Holy and He does not forgive just because He wants to forgive. God forgives
On Location!
They were given opportunities to leave their comfort zone. I was proud of their response. They
were very flexible and had great team spirit. New friends were made I believe, and they met many new people. I believe the team had fun.
They appeared to really enjoy it. I loved when they remembered the verse even after I removed the words. Some of Gods word was planted in their hearts that day!! I felt the team met all our expectations. They were willing to do whatever we asked of them and they did everything asked on base. I heard no complaints. The team was given opportunities to learn about the Muslim faith and how to witness to them.
because of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross to make us pure. Please pray for him to come to know the truth.
