We are praying for this unpresented global pandemic to end, but we are encouraged to see the body of Christ respond. Charles Spurgeon once said, “I have a great need for Christ: I have a great Christ for my need.” We know in these difficult times we are facing great needs; especially among the poor and vulnerable. We know that our God is greater! I know it can be disheartening seeing local churches close their doors, but I saw a great quote the other day. It said, “The church is not closed; it is deployed!”
Mission Possible Austin is adapting and changing procedures to best meet the growing needs in our community, but nothing can change WHY we continue to serve! We are deploying as a part of the global church responding as the hands and feet of Jesus. We are not closed; in fact, we believe now is the time for the church to respond even greater. We invite you to join us as we continue to serve!
