The Trip Begins In Waldorf, Md.

Last weekend the CE National Ambassadors were in Waldorf, Maryland, visiting Stacie’s home church, the Grace Brethren Church in Waldorf. Stacie and Sarah taught high school students about discipleship and shared in with the congregation about their passion for discipleship and the necessity of the CE Ambassador program.

The teaching on discipleship was well received by the students. Several Operation Barnabas alumni were present and contributed good insight to the lesson. The group was asked the question about the necessity of discipleship. Margaret Lucas, a 2008 alum, responded, “As believers we can only grow so much on our own. We all come to a point where we get comfortable and settled. We need someone in our lives who will push us to keep growing and stretching. That’s what discipleship does. Of course it’s necessary.”

Stacie and Sarah were both very encouraged by the excitement of the people at Waldorf about their mission. Following the service, many people asked good questions about discipleship, about the plan for the year, and about how they could pray. Already the people are looking forward to the Ambassadors’ return in February.

Sarah says, “I am so glad Waldorf was our ‘first official church’. They caught our vision and are so excited to see what God is going to do. We’re thankful for their support.”

Next week Sarah and Stacie will be at the Grace Brethren Church in York, Pennsylvania.
