Dawn had an interesting opportunity to travel with a couple of other missionary ladies on a day trip to Poland to visit Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Actually there were three camps under the Auschwitz system which were run by the Nazis during World War II. This was the first time that Dawn has had such an opportunity to visit with other missionary ladies on a “girls day out” so to speak. When they arrived there, it was sort of fitting that the atmosphere was dreary and cold and rainy. She tells me that the tour of the facility was very enlightening and gave her a fresh perspective on the atrocities which were carried out there by the Nazis.

May the Circle Be Unbroken
Prayer is a powerful thing. Indeed it is! For several months now, I have had opportunities to join a local “prayer circle” in the Jackson area. This group of diverse believers and concerned community people generally gather each Thursday morning at 10am to pray for a school, civic group, or other nonprofit entity. I’ll add…
Local Missions – CYIA ’23
I am a missionary at heart. Even after years of ups and downs and round and rounds, that is still the calling God has placed upon my heart. He gives Christians purpose and direction in this life. Granted, it is not always an easy thing to submit to His wooing or step onto the path…
