OMS conference

Today was the final day for the OMS International Conference here in Indianapolis. It was great for us to get to see everyone and to hear all of the reports from around the world in OMS. We praise God for how He is working through this organization. It was also a special time for us to be present for the commissioning of Jonny and Julie Pollock. It gave me chills to hear the President of OMS, David Long, give a charge to the missionaries being commissioned..... That they serve a Holy and just God that loves them dearly and that will provide all that they need.

It was wonderful to visit with missionaries from all over the world and working in all areas of OMS....

Missions in the Midwest Conference and the Pollocks are here!

This weekend is the OMS Missions in the Midwest conference here in Indianapolis. Christian attended last night and was blessed by the opportunity to see so many dear friends and colleagues. We are still in the process of defining what our role will be with OMS and how we will serve the organization - one thing we know for sure, we are thankful to be a part of the OMS organization and we praise God for so many willing servants who serve Jesus through OMS.
Some of those whom we praise God for are the Pollock family... We have blogged about them often in the past. They served with us in Mexico and we have grown to love them dearly. What a treat to have them staying with us this week while they attend the conference and prepare for three weeks of training at the OMS headquarters. Please pray for them and for baby Ben as they live out of suitcases for the month of July and as they endure the Indiana heat!
