Since our first mission adventure to Africa in 2001, God has tremendously expanded our outreach. I will continue to communicate the needs so you can pray intelligently, support the projects, or be on mission with us during our December 30, 2009 to January 10, 2010 trip. This is a joint venture between Crossroads Church of Pittsburgh and First Baptist Church Bloomfield, New Mexico.
One of the new areas of ministry this year will be optical and medical ministry. We have been blessed with opportunity as well as the committed individuals to conduct both an eye clinic (with distribution of glasses) and a basic medical clinic (with vaccinations). During these clinics, we will also minister the Gospel as hundreds of men, women, and children gather each day for medical attention.
In addition to the medical clinics, we are planning to engage in church planting, construct a church, conduct a pastor's conference, go hut to hut to share the Gospel, teach teens True Love Waits, (abstinence education) conduct ministry (VBS type) to children both in schools and in the community, prayer walk, and possibly help with another well project. Much of what we are able to do will depend on resources.
As you read this blog, it may confirm that you need to step out and go "on mission." We highly value prayer and would ask that you begin to pray now for every aspect of the trip. If you would like to support projects such as church construction or a water well please contact me at cmontroy@qwestoffice.net.
