Eastern Heights Baptist Church in Jeffersonville recently sent a team on an international mission trip to Windhoek (vend-hook), the capital Namibia, Africa.
People there live in very poor conditions. Just outside downtown Windhoek lie several “townships” inhabited by many, many people who are in desperate need of both physical and spiritual fulfillment. Partnering with a local church, the team distributed the blankets along with the gospel. The team realized quickly that the fifty blankets they brought would not even make a dent in the enormous need for them. God has given this church a new mission and a project that will connect them with the people of Windhoek. They will continue collecting blankets for these people who have no other way to keep warm. One team member said, "A blanket alone will only satisfy one need, but a blanket with the message of hope in Christ will satisfy many."
Praise God for this church! Please pray for them as they share this vision and project with other members. Pray for the church as they continue to bless the people of Namibia!
