Well, this is a first for me. While I've written plenty of papers in my lifetime and sent thousands of emails, this is my first official blog entry. I honestly didn't see a purpose for having a blog. I mean, my life, while I know I'm blessed, isn't interesting enough for others to read about...at least that's my opinion. Limiting funny things in my life to 140 characters (Twitter) or a statuses on Facebook has always been more than enough space!
However, now I have a reason to start a blog! I get to talk about what God is doing in and through the children's ministry at FBC Trussville! God has blessed me with the greatest job in the world and I am humbled to be able to serve these tremendous families in Trussville.
The children's ministry was able to transition a little last summer to become more missions focused. We began focusing on four particular ministries: One Verse (Scripture translation), orphanage in El Salvador, Food for the Hungry (World Vision) and Living Water. Check out the missions page on fbctkids.org to learn more about our involvement with these ministries.
On Saturday, my wife (Lindsey), Chris Chambers, Michael Moore (children's worship leader) and I will be heading to Honduras to work with Living Water. We will be digging a well for a village who does not have clean water. I am more than excited about partnering with this incredible ministry. Depending on internet availability, I hope to update the blog with details and pictures of our trip. Please be praying for our team and check back often to know how to pray for us daily.
Praying that God would open your eyes to the needs but at the same time overwhelm you with ideas, vision, and ways we all can help. Specifically praying for blake, lindsey, and chris....not so much for michael (-: be safe, eat safe, see you soon! Lance
