MBC Mission Trip to London!

 
 

UPDATES:

April 21: Happy Easter everyone! We hope you had a restful and meaningful day yesterday as you focused on the greatest event in history. We are just a few days away from our trip! Please pray that we and our families stay healthy (spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally) as get all the details finished to leave on Friday night. Thank you for your partnership. Many of you have reached out to let us know you are praying for us daily and it is SUCH an encouragement. We are getting excited for the trip and look forward to what God will do! - DS

April 10: We are only 2 weeks away from heading out! We are getting excited for the trip, but also, we ask for your prayers as often times distractions come up in the final couple weeks that try to take our focus off of Christ. Please keep our families in prayer as well as this will be a big deal for them too. Please pray that, even now, God would be preparing the hearts and minds of those we will talking with. Thank you all for your partnership! - DS


WHAT: MBC is heading to London!

WHEN: April 25-May1

WHY: We will be heading to London to partner with our IMB Missionaries Ben and Judy Armacost as they serve South London. This area has a population of over 8 million and yet only has 240,000 evangelical Christians. The vast majority have no idea of the amazing love that God has for us nor the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which has given us peace with God. We will join with Ben and Judy as they plant micro-churches and house churches within the neighborhoods of South London.

Our primary roles on the trip will be to encourage the new church plants and join with them as they share the Gospel with their friends and neighbors. We will be connecting and reconnecting with churches to foster partnerships with MBC.

WHO: Martin Chamelin and Dave and Sam Scafide

HOW To Support: Two ways…

The first way: Please pray for us! What we need more than anything is prayer coverage. Pray as you feel led by the Spirit, and here are some prompts you can use:

  • Travel mercies (health, safety)

  • Open hearts for those we will be ministering to

  • Wisdom/Discernment as we witness to Londoners

  • Ben and Judy Armacost and their leadership

  • Boldness to show grace and truth to others

The second way:

We would love your financial support as well. Fortunately, we will be staying with the Armacosts, so the costs are kept pretty low, but with travel, food, and incidental costs, we need to raise $650 per person. If you feel like God is calling you to support us, you can donate through online giving or simply earmarking a check and putting in the offering plate.

Thank you for partnering with us as we spread the Good News around the world!
