Please pray for the Mission to Nicaragua

On Tuesday, May 5th a team of volunteers from our church will for the
first time go on a mission trip to Nicaragua. We request your prayers, for
it will not be a vacation trip but a mission filled with work of evangelism,
health ministry, physical labour and empowering local believers. Pastor
Juan Carlos Atencio will preach 9 nights series of Gospel messages.
Gord & Kathy Rayner will lead in presenting NEWSTART and Depression
recovery lessons, Valdemar Ferreira will lead out in building projects with
Bob Reeve, Stepan Golovenko, Udo Muller & Janice Bridnley, Sandra
Golovenko and myself assisting. At our last prep meeting pastor Atencio
shared a thought that during the two weeks our relationships and
patience would be tested, as the intensity of our interactions will go
beyond the routine once a week meet-and-greet at church
As I reflect on this upcoming trip, I am already missing the comfort of
staying at home. It is not a convenient thing to go into unknown place
and walk away, even for a short time, from luxuries we have here in
Canada. I still remember the orange tap water on my trip to Russia in
2007, and No-Wi-Fi challenge in the mountain village in Chile in 2008. I
also am a bit disappointed that we did not raise the anticipated $10,000
(USD). The biggest let-down for me was the GoFundMe experience, as I
hoped that social media friends on Facebook and other contacts would
contribute more toward the project . The best fundraising was asking
people in person. We, everyone on the team, had paid our way and
donated to the project, some giving more than expected. The church
leadership also made a contribution, and the total amount raised stands
at $7,000 (USD). I think we are sacrificing to help others.and then in
my devotional reading this week I was confronted with these words from
Ellen G Whites Ministry of Healing, p.473: We are never called upon to
make a real sacrifice for God. Many things He asks us to yield to Him, but
in doing this we are but giving up that which hinders us in the
heavenward way. Even when called upon to surrender those things which
in themselves are good, we may be sure that God is thus working out for
us some higher good. In the future life the mysteries that here have
annoyed and disappointed us will be made plain. We shall see that our
seemingly unanswered prayers and disappointed hopes have been
among our greatest blessings. We are to look upon every duty, however
humble, as sacred because it is a part of God's service. " It was just what
I needed, a reminder to trust and cheerfully appreciate God in charge!
I am sincerely asking on behalf of our team to hold us in prayer for the
duration of this trip (we are returning on May 20), and to pray for our
families remaining here.
your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
