How our Bible Study Group supported Grace

Missionary work can sometimes be quite lonely, especially if the people who are meant to be supporting you don't have much contact with you at all! So, after seeing how someone else came up with the idea of supporting another missionary by getting everyone to write a little message to him and sending it off, we decided to do likewise. A Sunday morning was spent with each of us writing a message for Grace individually, followed by taking a photo of our group, which we then printed off and sent to Grace!

Unfortunately this whole process took us a while, so we were a little concerned that by the time it got to Grace, the things we were talking about would be all out of date. However, Grace later told us of her delight in receiving the little package, and how it came at a time when she was feeling a little down! It shows how something fairly small, which really didn't take up that much time or effort, can make such a difference in a missionary's life. Sometimes we need to be reminded that mission should be part of every Christian's life, including those who aren't missionaries - we can be senders as well.
