Not Done Yet

Last night was our first monthly missions opportunity at church. The first Wednesday night of each month the men and women will meet separately (Brotherhood and Women on Missions) to learn about International and North American missions, ways we can be involved in missions in Florida, and a time of prayer for missionaries.

A member of our church invited a very dear friend of hers to come speak at our first meeting. Dot Elliott had served for 20 years as a missionary in Japan. She shared how God worked in her life and others while she served there. Dot is currently retired and currently living in a retirement center in Tampa. At 84 years old she is still serving. She is currently coordinating a Bible study at the retirement center each week (finding speakers, worship leaders, etc) for those living there and anyone else that wants to attend.

It was an encouragement to hear her speak about the work that she has done and is still doing for the Kingdom. The most encouraging was to hear her say that she is still doing the Lord's work and doesn't plan on stopping until God is ready for her to stop.
