From Death To Life: The Great Commission

72.  That seems to be the number of the day.  Cornerstone Church of Ames had their Commissioning service today.  72 people got baptized.  72 people are going on missions this summer with Cornerstone and their college ministry The Salt Company!

Matthew 28: 16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.  Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

While I am not going on missions with Cornerstone, I am going to spread the word of God this summer through PPM.  It doesn't matter who I serve through, as long as I am with God.  Sharing the word of God with those who do not know it is such a blessing.  

I ask for prayers for the teams going abroad this summer through Cornerstone Church and The Salt Company.  Students will be serving in Albania, China, India, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Senegal, Turkey, and Vietnam all through the summer and some into the fall semester.

I also ask for prayers for the Praying Pelican Missions teams.  Staff and teams will be in Belize, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Mexico, South Africa, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Miami, Tuscon, Chicago, and Pittsburgh.
