Mexico Team Retreat

We recently traveled to a small village a few hours from Mexico City for a 3 day retreat with all of the other OMS Mexico missionaries. We had a wonderful time of planning, praying, and team building. Please pray that the Lord will continue to cultivate a spirit of unity amongst our team.Here our team plays a fun team building game.....

"Christians"

We recieved this poem from a supporter of ours. We really liked the words and thought we would share it with you.

Christians - By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
