What a day!

So before going to Germany back in March, I received support for the trip from Sara's aunt's Church, Oasis Bible Fellowship(http://www.oasisbiblefellowship.org/) in Roseville, CA. Thats about 2.5 hours north of us in San jose and about 20 min north of our state capital, Sacramento (For all the non california readers).

Well they area a small church of about 50 members and so I was really surprised when they came forward with support. They have a heart for outreach and viewed me as a direct missionary for there church this year. What a great honor. Well their gift came with a stipulation, they would give me one amount guaranteed but if I came up and shared about the trip, they'd increase the amount. Well, since I really wanted to make sure the trip was paid for, speaking didn't seem to bad, as long as it was not a whole sermon! Today was the day for that sermon. Well just 5-10minutes. So I made up a presentation in powerpoint, not knowing what the church would have available. The speaking was good, people were interested in the Ship ministry which is really great. So just before church starts they tell they are way up on the technology! I'm talking live streaming video of the sermon on Sundays and recast all week on their website. This was a little daunting. So I was seen throughout cyberspace today. Like I said, it went great and really helped me remember why I went, what God touched me with since going and how God's love does shine through. Well we ended up going to the church picnic, sharing food and fun with a lively congregation. Even a little kick ball in the field. It was a long driving day, but the kids were perfect. Hope God touched you this Sunday, because Church is about connection to God and his people, not just a time to fill the hours between breakfast and lunch.
