Mexico Mission Trip 08

Here is a slide show that shows some of the ministry we were able to do during the December Mission Trip to Reynoso Mexico. Celebration Church River Parish Campus, Eagle Heights Church of Hammond LA, and the BCM of Southeastern LA Univ joined together to bless the people of Reynoso. Over 500 people fed, 500 shoe boxes of toys delivered to children, 300 pairs of shoes given out and one outhouse dug!! 9 people prayed to receive Christ during our visit. It was a great time of ministry. The future work in this area includes building a house and church in Colonia Vamos during our next trip scheduled for Feb 20-25 2009. The cost of the house is $3500 and will take about 2 days to construct. Email me at gdennis7@bellsouth.net if you would like to come with us or contribute to the cost of the house construction. Roll your cursor over the pictures for more detail.

Jesus Radically Redefines Wealth

Jesus is offensive to those who want to accumulate wealth on this earth because he challenges their wisdom and radically redefines what true wealth is. Earthly wisdom says the richest person is the one who gets the most and keeps it for the longest time. Jesus counsels those who would be wealthy to give their money to the poor and follow him in laying down their lives for the kingdom of God. How foolish is it to gather all the riches of this world and lose your soul in the process. How wise it is to store up wealth in heaven that can not be affected by thieves on Wall Street or Main Street, by financial disasters, wars, poor governmental decisions, natural disasters, nor anything else on earth. Jesus radically redefined greatness in terms of service. He redefined wealth in terms of giving instead of getting. The richest people among us are those who have learned to give sacrificially to those most in need.
