Mission to America: Week Two

I’m in New York State. Gail Golden caught a plane back to Florida. Belle, the Missionary Dog, and I briefly moped and then continued our journey alone. We headed to Cleveland, Ohio and followed the beautiful Seaway Trail along Lake Erie through Pennsylvania and into New York. It rained, but for some reason, God did not seem to think that was a good enough excuse to stop ministering. I’ve been wet, muddy, and cold all week, but the journey continues.

Mission to America: Saving Souls, One Quarter at a Time

The Lord is clear in His calling to each believer to "go ye and make disciples." Gail and Cheryle are doing that in a bold and creative way. I thought their stories would inpire the readers of ChurchWatch to find ways to share their faith with others. So this summer, ChurchWatch will follow Gail and Cheryle as they give away quarters and share the love of Jesus with thousands of people across America.
