Hi. My name is Bob Kernell, and I am a relative newcomer to our church. But though a newcomer to our church, First United Methodist Church sponsored me on last summer's mission to the four corner's region. Christ United Methodist Church, in Denbigh, was the main church sponsoring and organizing the trip.
This mission to the four corners region was similar to a mission I partook in that occurred during 1980's. I did a great job in that mission, so I knew I would be a good person to go on the one to the four corners region.
The mission last summer had the purpose of continuing construction on an educational building for the Navajo, and to share in worship and Christian times with our Navajo brethren.
The trip was a success - we completed all planned construction, and we had very good worship and fellowship with the Navajo.
I would urge anyone considering going on a mission for the Methodist Church to really consider it seriously. I think you would find it surpasses your expectations, and you may find yourself a changed person to boot. Go to prayer to contemplate about it, and if it seems His will for you, assent and go! You will be very greatly rewarded spiritually.
