Thismonth, forexample,theDecember14, 2010edition oftheAiken Standardfeatured a front-pagestorywritten by RobNovitentitledOutofAfrica, detailing alife-changing triptaken bya formerAikenite, ChristyBagby, with Young Life.
On January 21-23, 2011,therewillbe thefourthMissionsImpactCelebrationheldat St. JohnsUMC.Missionarieswillbepresentfromten Local, fourRegionaland eightInternationalMissions.

When Jan Gilbertmovedto Aiken fromFlorida, she
broughta passionto mobilizeand connectwithmissionaries.
Through herenergy,Jan gotmany folksinvolved in theGlobalImpactCelebrationsatSt. Johnsand otherareachurches, working closelywith TheMission Society,whereshenow servesontheirBoard. Historically,many churchesdo thingsformissions, butitissometimesata distance. Connecting
directly iswhatmakes thingpersonaland changeshearts.
Asan example, afterhavingmetand spending valuabletimewith thefounderof LifeforChildren, six women fromAiken becamecommitted totheneedsof HIVorphansinKenya. Ofcourse, anyonewho hasseen thepicturesofrag-tag streetchildren with
distended belliesand big eyeshasfeltthat tug to help. Butitcan befleeting. Writethecheck. Thinkaboutitlater. Soremote fromourdailylifestyles.
Thisisstory ofthreepeoplewho instead took itverypersonally: Mary LouWallace, CharlotteHolly andFrancesOsteen. They areallmothers, wives, neighbors,
busy women with careers.And, theirstory iscompelling.
In thesummerof 2010,threeAiken women decided totravelto Kenya, an equatorialcountry on theeastern edgeofAfrica, to spend twelvedaysworking closely with theLifeforChildren Mission.
