Missionaries

In a traditional church, when missionaries the church supports come back to itinerate for a while in the states they usually show up for a service to present what they have been working on. Since we moved the church to a theater, we no longer have the flexibility of a service during the week, and Sundays are tight on time so they just can't make their presentation.

I really like the solution that we came up. I must admit we weren't sure how we were going to handle the missionaries before, but after the first we found it worked out well. We now have a local restaurant that closes off a section for us to show up and buy dinner for the missionary. This gives us the opportunity to speak with them up close and personal and ask any questions on our mind. It's turned into a great time where a bunch of RCCers show up, we eat and have a more intimate experience with our missionaries.

Tomorrow evening, a missionary will be here and going to dinner with a bunch of us to let us know what has been going on in their lives. I'm looking forward to hearing about what the missionaries have been involved with in the mission field.
