It is great to have an organization coordinating new and impactful ways for us to serve and connect with neighbors in the name of Jesus. The relationship between “Amen” and “It is Written” roles in this trip was a little confusing.

I’m blessed to be able to serve in this Medical Mission in Baltimore. We had to commute for about 40 minutes or so but everything worked out very well as the weather was nice and we ended everyday while it was still light. It was a great experience for us.

This was my first trip to any kind of mission field. I have wanted to go on one of these trips for a long time, but was not keen on the idea of going out of the United States. So when I saw this trip to Baltimore, I immediately decided I would go. This trip was a blessing in several ways. Innitally I was going to be going by myself and staying in a hotel. The expense would have been well over $1500. But GOD blessed me immensely when he provided someone else to go with me and through a friend of a friend being able to stay at a beautiful home with gracious hosts. And carpooling as well. Raising funds for this trip was slow coming causing some worry but in the end the funds came in. In fact, more than we needed came in. And was still coming in after the trip. We were so grateful for all that monetary help we got and plans are to donate the extra monies. The event itself was exciting and amazing to me. From the setting up of everything to the taking down of everything. The best part for me was being a greeter and engaging with the public as they came, and as they stood in lines, and as they exited. The gratefulness of our guests spoke volumes. And that was not the end of it. My car’s battery light came on just before we were going to leave our hosts’ house. God provided a place to get that taken care of before we pulled out of the driveway. It ended up being the alternator. Had that not worked out that way we would have most likely been on the freeway when the alternator went out. All praise and glory goes to our Father GOD and to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!

The Maryland trip was my first experience working in the missionary field. It was a great experience. Simply having the opportunity to fellowship with like minded Christians was rewarding alone. Everyone I met absolutely wanted to be there and was happy to serve. I found it amazing that such a large body of people could work on one accord. That was refreshing. It was a true testament to the power of the Holy Spirit. To make the experience even grander was the satisfaction received by aiding the huge number of people seeking our services. I certainly look forward to future opportunities to serve. May God continue to bless His people in particular and all people in general.

Good accommodations. Large selection of food, but mostly meat or spicy. Good site attendance. Large baptism. Excellent translators. Poor country. Most roads not near as bad as claimed.
