Mobile Mission Ministry

May 18, 2012 marks our second anniversary as Mission Service Corps missionaries for the North American Mission Board. Many of you have been supporting us from the beginning. Some of you have joined us along the way. (If you haven’t seen our  video, check it out on the Ministry Vision page.)

Working with those who have physical and sometimes emotional need, provides us the platform to share God’s love. An ounce of help has been returned by pounds of gratitude from most. We are able to continue because of your prayerful and financial support.

I missed a golden opportunity the other day. I gave a lady who bought several items in the GraceWorks Store, a small toy for her child and said, “Christmas is early”.  “I don’t do Christmas”, she starkly stated. I just smiled and went on. This should have started a conversation to which I should have said something like; “The greatest gift of all was God sending His son Jesus to us. Well, I planted a seed, but reflecting back, I could have watered it right then. My prayer is that I be more effective in sharing the gospel of Christ and not miss the opportunities that God gives us each day.  Let us pray for one another.

Our team recently built some steps for a lady in our last Rebuild Rainsville project. Now, A group of 15-20 from our daughter church, about 20 miles south of here will be traveling to Rainsville at the end of this month. Pray as we make long term plans to help this community. Brentwood Baptist members have provided the funds. Our strategy is to maximize those resources in a way that will honor God and meet spiritual and physical needs.

Priscilla and I are counting the days when Luke, Ben, and Olivia will be coming to visit us. Oh, they are bringing their parents, which is a very good thing. Aaron is grilling each night. Kelly and Priscilla are planning to make some awesome desserts. Lee and the grandkids plan to enjoy it all. I may be given clean up duty.

God Bless You,

Lee and Priscilla

What is the most important thing to you? Financial security? Health? Family? All these are important.

Living like Christ is more than playing a role.

But the most important thing for all of us should be our relationship with God. Pause and reflect for a few moments what Christ has done for you.

The Sunday before Easter, I was proceeding to where Priscilla and I have sat in church for the last several years. A pleasant greeting surprised me, “Hi! Mr. Lee”. One of our former residents of the children’s home said she felt like she needed to be in church that Sunday. It had been five years since she attended with our cottage family.  Stephanie was baptized then at a lake during a youth retreat.

Heaven and earth will pass away, God’s Word will always last. Our relationship with Christ is more important than silver or gold. Everything we do is in vain unless we have the love of God in us. The apostle Paul said, “Faith, hope and love are important, but if we do not have love, everything we do is in vain.” If you have Internet access, go to www.mostimportantthing.org and click on people, then type in Lee Harrison. You will read my personal testimony how I became a Christian. Anyone with a testimony can post his or her story.

We celebrated the resurrection of Christ this month. Everything we do should be motivated from God’s love for us. This does not mean we are perfect. It means our desires should be to become more like Him each day. Other people will be blessed when they see some of Jesus in your life.

This month’s letter has been a little different. I wanted to focus more on who we serve and why; not so much on what we have done. It doesn’t matter if we are an accountant or a zookeeper; God needs every Christian in His army to faithfully serve. Thank you for serving by praying and supporting our ministry. I pray that you will have additional opportunities in areas where you live or work to serve and worship Jesus.
