Michigan Mission Trip 2009
by Alisa Howard
Before leaving for Michigan, Satan began his attacks. 
I was having health issues and it seemed the team was having difficulty getting along. However, once the trip began, everything seemed to start falling into place. My health issues subsided and the team appeared to be in unity. We began to work together for the Lord, rather than battle for control of certain issues surrounding the team. Satan did take shots at us, but with prayer, we all started working together for the common good. This unity became stronger with each day.
On our first day, Linda Turner had a spirit lifting devotional on the names of God, Jehovah Nissi (the Lord is our banner), Jehovah Girah (the Lord that provides) and Jehovah Adonai (the Lord is our master). She gave testimony regarding her son, who several years ago, became ill while serving in the military. Randall Kidd gave out new testaments, which we were asked to give out by the end of the day. Our first stop, in Scottsville, Indiana, was at Jeeves and Company, for a wonderful lunch in a private dining room. Mark Kearley led us in prayer and we discussed the next day’s activities, which would include prayer walking. Our day finished up at Wendy’s in South Bend, IN, where we relaxed and hammed it up for the camera. More . . .
Someone You Should Know
by Brian Manus
I was born on January 29th, 1980 to a Midwestern "Christian" family. 
I lived that life for several years without a care in the world. I was reckless in my lifestyle and I didn't care who I hurt in my path of self destruction. After years of drowning my sorrows and hurt and dealing dope in the streets, I was asked by my uncle if I could go to church with him one Sunday. I went a few times and felt that tugging at my heart. At the time I didn't know what it was, but now I know that it was the Holy Spirit pulling me to Christ. Finally, after a few weeks of denying and fighting this feeling, I gave my life to Christ and became a sold out, on fire, Spirit filled Christian on September 17th 2006. More . . .
Campers on Mission
by Cathy and Wilton Wigham
Campers on Mission (COM) are a national fellowship of Christian campers who want an opportunity to share their faith and love of Jesus Christ while camping or participating in missions activities. Sponsored by the Adult Volunteer Mobilization Unit of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, membership is open to Christian campers of all denominations.
COM participate in short-term missions projects across the United States and Canada. Typically, these projects last a week or more. They could be anything from construction, disaster relief work
, and Backyard Bible Clubs to projects at festivals, state fairs, campgrounds, NASCAR races, parades, or truck stops. In many creative ways, COM combine their love of outdoors with ministry across America. A theme or motto is "AS-U-GO be on mission". There are over 30 states with active COM chapters. The Alabama chapter has over 275 families. More . . .
