James and Sonya Herron, IMB Missionaries
Uganda East Africa
Island Ministry team (Upper Buvuma Islands)
The vision of the International
Mission Board is to see a multitude from every language, people, tribe and
nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ
18 Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (Matthew 28:18)
Our
God is full of light, and he want us to be His.
He wants us to be filled with the light of His presence. Christ want us to hold nothing back from Him.
We are to bring all our secret thoughts into the light of His love. All that we bring to Christ He will transform
and cleanse from darkness. Christ knows
all about us, but He restrain from fixing our concerns, He waits for our call
to Him for His divine help. We are to
seek His face with a teachable spirit. We
are to come into His presence with thanksgiving, with a desire to be transform by
His power and glory.
