| On October 4th,
the Mission Ministry Team sponsored
a potluck supper at 6:30pm in the town
hall. Over 20 people
turned out to enjoy a sumptuous meal and fellowship. The
highlight
of the evening was listening to Greg and Sheree talked about Toah
Nipi,
an InterVarsity Christian Center located on Old Ashburnham Road in
Rindge.
Greg and Sheree talked about how they came to Toah
Nipi and their goals
and hopes for integrating the center into the community. Toah
Nipi
is one of four InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Camps. |

| They extended an invitation
for us to visit and use the
center. In fact, opportunities exist for us to volunteer our
time
and services as a way to extend our own mission outreach. The mission of InterVarsity is to establish and advance at colleges and universities, witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord. To that end, Toah Nipi host retreats at the center where groups from many colleges seek opportunities to be with other believers in a pastoral community setting where they can explore God's call in relation to their dreams and futures, seeking his direction for their lives. Greg and Sheree also talked about and showed a video on His Mansion Ministries in Deering, New Hampshire. Started in part by Sheree's father, His Mansion Ministries seeks to mend broken lives and brings hope and healing to disenfranchised young people. One of their foundational beliefs is the majority of life-destroying conditions are the by-product of sin, therefore it is necessary to deal with the sin and its resulting guilt, in order to produce healing of body and soul. People who face difficulties associated with abuse of alcohol and drugs, eating disorders, sexual and physical abuse, and many other debilitating maladies can experience relief when they participate in a program that is particularly designed to offer spiritual healing. http://www.hismansion.com/index.html |
