36, Day 34 (Written Friday January 13) ~ Campaign Season

Get ready. For the next ten months we will be in full blown campaign season. Every night on the news there will be reports about those who are campaigning for the office of President of the United States of America. On the radio and television there will be commercials nonstop for those campaigning. Before long the signs will go up in peoples yards and at every intersection.

It is campaign season, but I want to talk to you about a different kind of campaign season, as in Latin American Missions campaign season. For 2012 we have a total of 18 campaigns scheduled throughout the year and all over Central and South America. For those who are curious, a campaign is a week long trip to a country, wherein, we offer free medical care, provide benevolence, build, have Gospel meetings, Vacation Bible Schools, door knocking and home Bible studies. Every campaign is unique, but they all share similarities.

If you have any interest in going, or if you would just like to know a little more about it before you consider going, I want to encourage you to do one of two things (or both). Visit www.forrestpark.org and click on the icon/link for Latin American Missions. Take some time to read all about the work and then click on the campaign schedule link to see where and when we will be going in 2012. The second thing you can do is contact me and we can talk personally about the different options. I love the start of football season (and am sad it is coming to an end), I love when strawberries come in season (which, apparently in south Georgia is even in January!) and I love campaign season.
