2008 Fall Missions Explosion

Last night was the final event in Lakeside's 2008 Fall Missions Explosion. There were so many people who were involved, and they made it a huge success. I was so blessed last night at the involvement of so many men and women doing the cooking, the decorating, the sound work, the video work, the table and chair moving, and the clean up. Pastor Mike and Rebekah put on another fun filled children's banquet and the room looked so great. We have an awesome group of people at Lakeside.

We had a great group of missionaries who honored us by attending our dinners with missionaries and attending our banquet.

We heard a stirring report from Deborah Burke about what is going on at the Inner City Church, and Greg Mundis challenged and inspired us in both the morning service and the banquet.

I am anticipating that we will be involved in missions on a greater level in finances, but in an even greater measure on a personal level, as many of you are challenged to follow God's leading for your own lives in your own personal mission fields.

Hey Randy!

I have to give a big shoutout to Laurel Parmley, missionary to Chiang Kham, Thiland. (For those who don't know, but might read this - she was our missionary speaker for the kids banquet this year.) She was a great communicator to kids and did a phenomenal job! I know the kids loved hearing from her and learned so much about missionary life in Thailand. The kids banquet was a great success.

I appreciate you and Carole for putting us in contact with Laurel and for all you do for missions - both for Lakeside and the Kingdom at large. You guys are AWESOME!
