Champions Corner - Ned/Marlene McGrady: September 2018

Ned with the Landerholm' s

God is at work in Europe. We often recall from Church History and the Book of Acts that the church moved out into the world and reached into the greater European area. Over time the church seemed to take a back seat to the post-modern cultures and became post-Christian. World Gospel Mission is sending forth workers into this part of the world with missionaries serving in the UK, Hungary, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Albania to call the church back.

WGM Europe Missionaries in Albania

During the month of August we traveled to Tirana, Albania for a conference and retreat with our WGM Europe based missionaries. We greatly appreciated the opportunity to be a part of this event and spend quality time investing in the lives of those whom God has called to serve in this part of the world. We had many opportunities to share in times of pastoral support, prayer, and counsel to our missionaries. Our teammates Greg and Teresa Leeth also went with us and we partnered together to work with 10 of our missionary kids through out the week. This gave the parents a chance to have some quality programing for their kids while they too were

able to take in some training. One of the highlights of our time together was the opportunity we had to share in deep and meaningful discussion about ministry. What a joy it was to hear our missionaries share their burdens and their concerns, express their joys and their victories and to be able to see that God really is up to something very exciting around the world. People around the world are coming to faith in Jesus Christ and WGM plays a big role in that effort. It is so exciting to be a part of something that is so much bigger than us and each one of you are a big part of this ministry. We never get tired of saying thank you for what you do. It is because of your support and your prayers that we do this.

Without you, our faithful partners in ministry, we simply can not do this work. Mission work is so important and God has called us as a couple to be the pastoral support to listen, to care, to pray for those whom God has called into missionary service. We marvel at how God has partnered us with you and with those whom He has called to do this work. We know that there is a world in need and we know that Jesus cares about every person, everywhere and we have the opportunity to meet that need. Thank you for helping us to make a difference and allowing God to use you in this ministry. We know that God is not yet done with Europe as a matter of fact, He has great plans to reach people with the Good News and we are blessed to be a part of this great cause.
