Yesterday I left with my church from quaint little Harrodsburg, KY to head to the mountains. You could literally probably call this place Delieverance, but I'm not quite sure yet.
We are at the base of Black Mountain in a small coal community called Lynch. Lynch was home to 10,000 people in its Hayday, but now that town is down to around 1000 people.
This is one of the most poor towns in America. We're staying here at Solomon's Porch, an old hospital that's been converted into a "retreat" for incoming teams to work. Today we're heading about 15 minutes away to a horse camp. The camp holds camps for special needs children. They need some fences painted and put in, as well as a room finished.
Although there is nothing coherently dangerous about this trip, spreading The Word of Christ doesn't always have to be dangerous, although the fact that it is should not deter us from doing what Christ Commisioned us to do. Well we're about to leave so I'll leave you with one last word of encouragement, Never give up on God, because He will NEVER give up on you.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.-Matthew 28:19
