On the heels of Mission's Conference heading into a week where "giving thanks" is the theme, I believe you'll find inspiring the note below from our beloved, Karen Myrick.
In October, I went on a trip that changed me forever. Haiti was something I was not prepared for. The poverty, the orphans, the trash, the needy, but mostly the joyfulness of the people there pierced my soul. It's difficult to see and experience things and go back home and be able to explain for people to really understand.
I will be able to share some of my experiences Sunday night, January 9th, in the service. I'm excited to have Ken Ivins come with me to present AMG International's role in helping such needy people physically and spiritually. It's amazing that so little can make such a HUGE difference in people's lives. I never want to forget what I saw, and I can't wait to return.

I can certainly identify, Karen. Pastor's messages on Sunday are good reminders that we are so blessed in the United States, and most of us don't realize how much. The thing that I am thankful for---and this is especially pertinent now---is clean water. It seems a small thing, and we take it so for granted, but it's huge!
