INDIA MEDICAL MISSION TRIP ~ 2009

Members: Sue and Jim Frazier

Preparation Scripture: Psalms 104: 1-9 and Mark 10: 35-45


Sue and Jim deliver this lively description of their tenth yearly Medical Mission Trip to Salem, India. They express thanks to Northwest Community Church, Salem White Oak Presbyterian for the support that made it possible. Overall it was an enlightening win-win situation. The many people they served in India were blessed; Sue and Jim were deeply touched and gratified to be a part of God's ongoing effort to reach all people of the world with his love; and we of NW Community Church can feel the power of our caring support in a first hand description of the results.

Perhaps the greatest benefit delivered by this mission is the expression of caring and love toward all of those served by the team. Many are moved to the point that they begin to study and accept our Christian attitudes and beliefs in a country where choosing this path can expose one to ridicule and danger. We are blessed by the freedom we enjoy to choose our religeous path; we are blessed by a level of prosperity unknown in many areas of India; and we are blessed by the ability to share with others.

They'll know we are Christians by Our Love

THE JOURNEY

Guest: Sharon Wilcox
October 11, 2009

Preparation Scripture: Psalm 85: 10-12 and Ephisians 1: 15-23

Sharon revisits Northwest Community Church to commemorate the ONE YEAR CELEBRATION of our combined churches, Salem Presbyterian and White Oak Presbyterian. This is most appropriate, since it was she who led our dedication service after many months of guiding us through the process of merging as one family, a state she refers to as “kindom”. She reviews the amazing progress she has witnessed over this past year in the life of our combined church, and expresses her anticipation for many more exciting achievments in our continuing journey with Christ. Her closing remarks are interesting and challenging instructions from Mother Terisa about living life in so many ways... so go out into the world and LIVE IT!

NOTE: ARCHIVED SERMONS

I hope that many of you have been enjoying downloading the live sermon each week onto your computer for a first time listen or to review the details. I feel that I have benefitted, from relistening to them for the purpose of writing the little descriptive synopsis for each. Perhaps you have, on occasion, downloaded some of the earlier sermons from the several months of archives. Until now they have continued to be available, but they are beginning to take up too much storage space on the harddrive generously contributed by Jay Petach and his employer. At this point and in the future we will continue to maintain availabilty to download, from our website, the past two sermons including the most current. If you wish an earlier sermon, they will continue to be available, on audio cassette, in our church library.

God's Word

This is an excellent discription of the origin, work and purpose of The Gideons International. We are given several examples of how the mission of this interdenominational organization is producing positive results in nearly every nation of the world.

The number of Bibles that they distribute in multiple languages each year is quite amazing. By making Bibles available on such a large scale they are preparing for God's Word to continue working miracles while changing many more lives. May God bless their efforts supported by people just like you and me.
