DECLARE HIS GLORY AMONG THE NATIONS


Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Psalm 96:3-5

NorthStar Church has actively pursued an Acts 1:8 mindset and we have been heavily involved in local and regional missions. NSC has tackled mission projects in (our Jerusalem) Coeur d'Alene, (Judea) places as close as Kingston and Priest River, Idaho, (Samaria) places like New Orleans for disaster relief efforts or Southern Idaho for construction, and even (to the ends of the earth) through mission projects in places like Vancouver, B.C.

In late September, I traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal for a two-week opportunity of working with the Sherpa people of eastern Nepal. What a life-changing experience. This was not only my first international mission experience, it also carried the distinction of being NorthStar Church's first overseas mission opportunity.

This Wednesday (November 7th) I will be sharing about that experience at 6:30 p.m. at NorthStar. More to come soon about this amazing trip!

Scott,
Thanks for dropping by. I wish I had known about your blog before now, I would have promoted it over ate mine.

I love your reflections on Church Planting by the way. I read all of your thoughts and found them challenging and informative. I love church planting. I need to come visit you guys someday. I'm training right now to run in a local triathlon next June here in Twin Falls, but what I would really like to do is bring some people your way to help out with the big one in your neighborhood.

Thanks for your insightful words here Scott.
