missions a lot and I’m ready to go for more trips.<br />

delivered him from alcohol addiction<br />

“This was my first OA<br />

mission trip. I am thankful<br />

to God for using me in the<br />

area of testimony about<br />

alcohol addiction. I am<br />

encouraged to assist and<br />

help people with alcohol<br />

addiction or even family<br />

going through problems<br />

such as this.”<br />

“Mission is about God and His People and His Message.<br />

Reaching to the minority and affirming their faith is<br />

important. It has encouraged me to continue to serve in<br />

the mission field where helps are needed and the Gospel<br />

is to be heard.” Ann Mirra<br />
