March 7Th, kicked off World Missions Month, we invited Tom & Jean McMahon who recently transferred their membership to Pelham to speak to us on their 14 years missionary work in Japan. They were both dressed in the local garments for the area, and had brought along many items to show us of their time there. They spoke of their fears of the unknown but of the strength the Lord gave them to continue. You could see and feel from their stories the love they had for the people they ministered. They spoke of the hardships, where would the food they needed come from and how would they be able to reach a country with very few believers in Christ. Bro. Tom would go back tomorrow if he felt the Lord was asking him. This couple has lead a interesting and sometimes difficult life in service for the Lord, but I came away feeling that they had been truly blessed in their sacriface for the Lord. We are so blessed to have them in our congregation now. Bro Tom was made Men's Ministries Leader and Sister Jean was made Ladies Ministries Leader.
