Mission Field CRC

I am now totally exhausted, but at the same time in awe and inspired. Last week, FPC Marietta chose to change their mission trip destination from New Orleans to Cherokee Retreat Center. While talking to Dan Valentine and Debbie Peterson about the details, it was as if I were in a dream world. For over three years I have been working hard to get the ministry at Cherokee Retreat Center in the lime light of Cherokee Presbytery and in the last few weeks it seems that finally all our hard work has begun to pay off. Marietta came out and did some fantastic work, Sixes road is planning on coming out to revamp the challenge course, PW recently gathered and gave a heap of decor items, Westminster is planning to adopt a cabin....the list goes on. It would seem that our churches are waking up to the fact that this ministry simply cannot work without the body of faith's participation and sense of ownership.
