THE grind... THE grind... THE grind working in missions

11 Jan 2010

THE grind in missions IS... hours and hours and hours of set-up over days and days and days to prepare for a couple of days of work. Lori has been pounding out long days over the last week to get ready for a two-week trip of sewing classes and ministry with the young women of San Vicente...

So many times, when talking to people about what we do, many think we get to 'be out ministering with people' 5 days a week...

we wish. It's the grind of set-up and arrangements and logistics that remain a big part of missionary life... so say all of our missionary friends and colleagues as well...

pray for 'grace in the gravity' of the hard work of set up, packing, set-up and tear-down, clean up, acquisition of needed materials...
