Since my arrival into the states around Thanksgiving I hear over and over, “When’s your next mission trip?”
I am actually scheduled for TWO mission trips.
It is a joyous privilege to have a part in the fulfilling of our Lord’s Great Commission. Taking the Gospel to the world is the responsibility of every Christian. It is my honor to get to go take part in the spread of the Gospel to the people in the Tamarindo area of Costa Rica.

Marvin and Teresa Mefford who represent the Jerry Spencer Ministries team in our area are taking a group to Costa Rica, June 21 -28 2011.

Marvin and Teresa, members of Riverside Baptist, contribute monthly to the ministry of missionaries, Ron and Meredith Droke, in Costa Rica. We will be working with them. They were called out under Dr. Spencer’s ministry. He was recently with them in Costa Rica and reports that God is mightily using them. I feel really blessed to be going to assist them in their growing work.
Please pray for me and our group as we go.
I have scheduled to return to Deliverance Church in Kisumu, Kenya on December 26, 2011.


I plan to take study bibles to nine of them and take them through a study. I will also choose two of the schools where we had the most converts and pull out small groups to disciple. This mission follow up trip will also give me opportunity to job shadow those working in safe houses and prevention programs.

“SOME WENT — SOME SENT . . . both the sender and those who go are necessary in mission work.”
