2015 New York Purity Mission Trip…

“God is not so concerned with our temporal happiness as He is with our eternal joy.”

For one solid week, the girls and I put our personal agendas on hold and through hearing and obeying the Word of God, we served the five boroughs of New York City and the City of Yonkers New York. Communicating the purity message was challenging but rewarding. We maximized our efforts by distributing our new purity brochures in Time Square– What an experience!

People from all walks of life, ages and cultures stopped to talk to the girls and I. Some folks stopped and read the brochure on the spot, while others declined. One lady was so excited about the program she gave us money and said, “Keep up the good work!”— others took several brochures to bring home! Our successful reception on 42nd Street gave us the confidence to stay the course. We gave out brochures on the subway, in our hotel, the fair grounds, and airports; striking-up conversations with people who were genuinely interested.
Needless to say we were more than ready to conduct and share the Purity message with our host, Calvary Chapel of Grace and Truth in Yonkers, New York. Before the class began, the girls quickly bonded as though they had been friends for years… We were all well received! A big SHOUT OUT to Pastor Johnny and Ms. Tina for investing in their girls and ladies’ ‘eternal joy’ by stepping out in faith and hosting a purity class! And a great big “Thank you” to their entire congregation for making our trip warm, inviting and memorable!
And finally, on our way home I was getting ready to go through the Laguardia Airport baggage check and the security guard on duty held me back to talk about the purity program. She shared with me her “Purity” testimony and how she now shares these principals with her daughter— I had to dig it out, but I gave her a brochure and a purity ring! Also to our surprise, during our extended lay-over in Nashville Tennessee, we met a lady from Dallas who shared her story of she and her mom’s similar work with young girls in Chicago— so of course, we too exchanged information!
So to sum up this year’s purity mission trip, we can honestly say it was “Joy Unspeakable!” I believe that we will see the fruits of this wonderful trip throughout eternity… The girls and I will continue to do God’s will as He leads us on future mission trips… We give Him all the praise, glory and honor!
