JCEA Directors On Mission

Two members of the James Croft Evangelistic Association Board of Directors leave this weekend on foreign mission trips and one returns from a two week trip.

Greg Lyons (left) of Lyons & Lyons C.P.A. in Macclenny, Florida returns from Honduras this weekend after a two week stay.  He volunteers with team members from International Mission Builders of Macclenny on church construction and evangelistic activities.  Greg makes regular trips to Honduras and Haiti.

A new IMB team will leave for Honduras on Saturday including Terry Elixson (right), pastor of New Oak Grove Baptist Church in Alachua, Florida.  This group will conduct a Vacation Bible School in a church they helped construct in May of this year.  The team will also minister in an orphanage and some of the public schools in the country.  Other team members on this trip include volunteers from Sardis Baptist Church of Worthington Springs, FL., First Baptist Church of Lake Butler, FL., and Bethel United Methodist Church of Lake City, FL.

Brian Mimbs (left), pastor of Chapel Hill Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida will be on mission with Orphans Heart, the international ministry arm of Florida Baptist Children's Homes in Guatemala.  Chapel Hill Baptist Church is in a 3-year partnership to rehabilitate a nearly-defunct malnutrition center for children northeast of Guatemala City.  In the past 18 months, the center has been able to increase its capacity from 6 children to nearly 50.  The team from Chapel Hill Baptist departs today for a week of mission work.

Please join us in praying for these teams as they travel, minister to others and carry out the Great Commission.
