"You Never Know" by Rick Ikeda of Salem

You Never Know,

They say you never know how what you say or do will affect others. The other day while our group was working in Cachimuel Marilyn Cooper, a Global Ministries volunteer missionary working with FEDICE, drove Lisa Renz , Sebatian and myself to Tocagon. They were putting on their own VBS for several of the close by churches. We were going there because they wanted Lisa Renz to speak to them. Lisa is a short term volunteer for FEDICE who was a missionary in Mexico for 44 years and had worked on some programming for them. She happens to originally be from Oregon and still considers herself an Oregonian.

When we got to the church there were around 150 kids singing in the courtyard WOW! I pointed to the yellow building across the courtyard called the education center and told Lisa that we (Oregon region) brought a group here two years ago and helped to finish the second floor and the wall around the third floor. She said yes I know part of the reason I am here is I saw the video about that mission trip and it peaked my interest in FEDICE. She did more research on FEDICE contacted them and now she’s here helping. You never know!

The video was created by Dave Van Dyke from Murray Hills Christian Church.
