“Here Am I, Send Me” Madness
Posted January 19th, 2010 by Sunset AlumniThis article was aggregated from Brandon and Katie Price.
Every January Sunset hosts a big workshop that people from all over attend. Part of this workshop is a time they call “Here Am I, Send Me” that allows missionaries who are preparing to go to the field to make an appeal before everyone to ask for support. Up until a few years ago, this was done live before the audience. Now, it is recorded on video and shown before the different speakers. And that made yesterday a crazy day.
Katie and I finally made it into the studio yesterday to read our plea from a teleprompter. It went fine, but we looked pretty ridiculous and weren’t happy with how it came out. I then took the video home so that I could add pictures from Ukraine and make it a bit more visually appealing. Seemed easy enough, but for some reason my computer decided to no longer allow me to upload video. After battling for over an hour, I took a short nap to regroup, and then battled some more. Fail.
The Bakers

One of the biggest blessing in mission work is the power of discipleship. God designed his church to grow by discipleship. And the Leon church has surely done this by the Baker Family with us. First, it is weird to say that they are the Baker Family, because Ben was an aimer here, and now is married to Jasmin. They have been married under a year, but we have seen both do so much for the church locally.Mexico Team

The Lord has blessed Sherry and I in this transition. I have "hit the
ground running." Sherry is finishing her role at SIBI this month
helping them with the Sunset Vision Workshop. I have been driving back
and forth from DFW to Lubbock. The first week of this year I spend
trying to get set up in the office at MRN. I spent more time dreaming,
praying and getting up to speed on the Global Mission Conference
planning for 2011 and the training process of several mission teams.
It was encouraging and exciting.

long internship this summer in Cuernavaca, before they launch off into
a new church planting. It was exciting to see their growth, to help

A destination, location, world where all your friends and loved ones are together. This "place" is not one, but many. It is anywhere you feel the most "at home" and yourself. It is where you can have fun, smile, laugh, and get excited.
Whenever all of us are together, I am in my "Happy Place"
The Christian Difference – 1
This article was aggregated from Dwight Whitsett - Whitticisms.
True democracies began and continue to be guided by a consensus of the will of its people. That is the definition of democracy. What the people think and believe becomes the basis for what is done. Every day, however, Christianity becomes less of a factor in forming the consensus of thought in Western societies. Western culture has slipped its moral moorings and begun to drift on the ocean of relativity, where there is no absolute truth.
Hosea 4
6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
The Boutcher Family

During our holiday travels we were able to spend some time with our good friends, the Boutchers, while we were in Reno. They graciously asked me to photograph their family, and so one beautiful morning we headed out and spent about an hour walking around the park capturing this beautiful family.
I hope you enjoy this little taste of our wonderful session together!

Please take the time to meet Rafa and Evelyn in this AIM team photo. They are part of this team, and we are praying for all seven of them. The plan is to be in missions classes until April, then go to the country of Scotland this summer for almost 18 months. WE are so proud to see them be part of this mission efforts. The local Church in Leon sur only has given them one time helps, and we are thankful that many people make this possible for them.In the light of recent events, we are reminded to think big.

In the light of recent events, we are reminded to think big. Many people are starting to face trials with economic struggle, some people have been faced with viruses, hurricanes, cold weather, and even now earth quakes. And it is terrible to see this. People are dying WITHOUT CHRIST!This sad realization is not what we hear from churches. They are too concern that trips are too costly, too dangerous, or even too much fun. Is this what we saw in Jesus? This is the passion we saw in Jesus' coming to incarnate among us!
In his words: "You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."
