Today is Wednesday, September 5th, 2007; Karen's Korner #1143

I had heard from several people that Margaret Cramer, fellow Poland traveler, had written her thoughts on our short term mission trip in multi-page letter to family and friends. I asked her for a copy, with the idea that I would share some of her thinking in a Karen's Korner.

 Margaret tells of some of the sights and sounds, with colorful descriptions. She closes her remarks, "Would I go again. I believe so." She wrote her belief that the missionary dollars in the Poland ministry were nvested extremely well.

 "Talk about being stretched in our faith," Margaret said. "Talk about seeing miracles happening. Talk about not doing this in our own strength. Talk about God being manifested. What a trip! I hope that what I have seen and what I will do will not be wasted. What a work of God. I am so glad that I was privileged to see it with my own eyes. What a difference it makes to have a first hand experience. It reminds me that I can not be a second hand Christian. It only works when we know Christ first hand - personally."

 We are not alone. Many who do ministries and mission trips share similar experiences. When we see it or do it, we need to share it with others! No matter how brief the trip or experience; no matter what we do for His Kingdom and Glory!
