Mission X: Niceville

The Brown family was quite busy this weekend...but what fun we had serving the Lord, alongside 21 folks from sister churches in Florida (all Sovereign Grace Churches).

These 21 youth and adults, known as the Mission X: Niceville Team, came from other parts of Florida to serve our local church in various projects. They did some yard work, cleaning, walked (in our lovely hot and humid weather) countless neighborhoods leaving flyers about our church, shared their testimonies with others, served in the set up and tear down of our worship service...and prayed for us. We shared meals together, they stayed in our homes, enjoyed the beach and a pool party....worshipped with us Sunday morning. And all this they did with joy.

We were especially blessed to have two young ladies stay with us: Ashley and Joanna. What sweet people they are! We miss them already. They and the team were a great example for our children. It was such a pleasure for us to serve alongside this group of young people.

We had such a wonderful time serving your church in Niceville; I have to agree with Joanna though, you all served us way more than we served you!

I loved staying with your family... thanks so much for having us! You all will have to come to Orlando and stay with us sometime.

love you all,
Ashley
