Missions Focus: Sodzo International
In September, a group from South Main went on a mission trip to Maua, Kenya, the home of our mission partner, Sodzo International. Many of the participants were first-timers with respect to this particular mission site and, as with any new adventure, they went with a certain picture in their heads of what might come.

Family Strengthening In Kenya
Our recent Kenya adventures led us to the villages of Linjoka, Tiira, and Gekka to hear first hand the stories of success with the family strengthening programs that have begun in these rural villages. The value of the family strengthening program is that it is a prevention method to help keep boys from going to the streets.

Hello, Dolly! Reflections by Carey Cannon
Before I gave the conductor's score one last glance, I turned around to catch a glimpse of who had shown for that evening’s performance - and I saw something. I saw two couples sitting next to each other, the Mooneys, longtime members of South Main who now live out of town and the Perrys, who have joined South Main in recent years. They shook hands and began chatting it up.

My Shaw Mission Trip Experience: By Kate Arenas
I never thought my parents would let me go to Mississippi by myself. But they did and I’m glad they let me go! I learned a lot from the work and people I met in Shaw. When I first got on the bus, I wasn’t too excited. I knew it would be a long drive. It turned out to be very fun! When we reached Mississippi, we stopped for dinner in Vicksburg.

A Tribute to South Main from Steve Scott
I first walked through the doors at South Main 29 years ago this fall. 18 years old, just a few weeks into my freshman year at Rice, I walked up to the third floor of the Loessner building, where the church offices are now - then education space: painted concrete block walls, tile floors - and into Toni Richerson’s Sunday freshman-sophomore Sunday School class.

Are you waiting for God to do something in your life? Scripture is full of God’s promises. We read and hear them, and sometimes wonder, “How long do I have to wait, God, for you to act?” I encourage you to read the book of Habakkuk this Lenten season. The prophet asks that very question. The answer he gets is not what anyone wants to hear.
