On Wednesday - July 21 - Pioneer Baptist Church will be sending out a 24 member mission team to Kenai, Alaska. They will leave the PBC property rather early to catch a flight out of Charlotte, NC that departs around 7:30am.
Although our church body has sent out several teams over the past 5 years, this one is very unique. The PBCuth team is made up of youth members (Teens & Pre-teens), Parents (Moms & Dads), along with our Youth Pastor (Ernie) and Missions Pastor (Ron). They will be serving alongside Brenda Crim (NAMB) and other churches who have joined the Salmon Frenzy outreach.
Below are some Prayer Points sent out by our Missions Pastor:
- Pray for the Youth that will be ministering on their 1st mission trip. They are facing long days filled with different types of work. The team will serve food, meets some basic and spiritual needs of the families in Alaska, and sharing the Gospel.
- Pray for the Holy Spirit to move upon the hearts of the hearers. We trust that He is already preparing the soil as our team arrives. We also pray that He will give divine appointments while the team is there. Our team has been prepared to share the Gospel at every opportunity!
- Pray for Brenda Crim and other missionaries on the ground as they plan, prepare, and transport these teams.
- Pray for good weather conditions. It has turned cold and rainy in Kenai - let's ask God to give our team and the families that are participating in the Salmon Frenzy good weather.
- Pray for the travel. The team leaves early tomorrow morning and should return to Charlotte on Wednesday 28th around 1:45pm.
May God watch over this group and grant unto them open doors and hearts that are ready to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May He transform the lives of our youth and parents as they participate in His Kingdom. And may all be done to the glory and honor of the One who gave Himself for our sins.
Go Team Alaska!!!
