Day 51 - July 8 - Louisville, KY (7 mi / 2,446 total mi)
We made the short ride from SE Louisville to downtown for the NACC (North American Christian Convention. Several of the Team Expansion folks were setting up the booth and wall of unreached people groups, and we joined in on the fun. It was great to see our co-workers who serve full-time here in Louisville.
Many would dismiss the importance of the stateside personnel, but let me say that without them we could not do what we do overseas! They are the true unsung heroes! They do what they do because they love the Lord, and want to see His kingdom come around the world! THey do not receive the praise they deserve! Seriously, we're a team, and without their vital ministry, we would not be as effective. Who would recruit? Who would train? Who would insure that our e-mail remains secure? Who would publish reports? Who would hold us accountable? Who would provide expert advice on how to plant churches in distant lands? Who would.......? Granted, the churches that support us and pray for us are vital too? But the roles for both the mission organization and the church are different. Both are necessary for the missionary to be successful!
Support the missionary -- YES -- both in prayer and financially! Support the missions organization -- YES -- both in prayer and financially! WIthout them the 7,162 will not be reached!
See you at the NACC! Look for the bike hanging from the rafters!
Thank you for praying!
Dave, Luey and Andy
