2009 VCC Missions weekend

This past weekend was the annual Victory Christian Church (VCC) missions banquets/weekend. Not all but many of our missionaries can in for at least part of the weekend.

Friday night (11/13) was the banquet at Der Dutchmen restaurant in Waynesville. The Evening consisted of dinner, the introduction and comments of a few of the missionaries at the banquet, worship and a presentation from keynote speaker Dr. Paul Opsahl regarding his work in the African nation of Swaziland.

Saturday morning (11/14) at VCC was the annual mission’s round table discussion. It began with a lecture by A. Kent Cason a missionary to the nation of South Africa as well as other Southern African nation. It was a wonderful. One of the facts that I can recall that impacted me was that use of the “alter call” was not noted as a practice did not start until the 1800’s. At this event participants were given to be given the opportunity to ask questions of missionaries to find out what live was like on the field. There was some lively discussion. However not as many missionaries participated as I expected was the conversion was not as rich as I had hoped. However the Lord blessed me with opportunity to meet and likely network with A. Kent Cason in the future.

Sunday morning (11/15) at VCC was the annual missions pledge service. Praise the Lord that the all the pledge dollars needed to meet our churches missions projects were pledged. Pray for all of us at VCC that we will be faithful to fulfill our pledges as God enables.

I praise God for the privilege to serve on Lay staff at VCC. I see the providence of God at work here. I have always wanted the opportunity to serve as an international teacher/prophet with the spiritual and financial support of the local church of which I attend. That is slowly happening here and I look forward with anticipation that thee support will continue to increase. Thank you Pastor Gary & VCC family. Thank you VCC for your future interaction on this blog

Until Next Time…
