Tuesday

On our way back home from Saskatoon today we had a choice to make at the intersection at the Husky in Saskatoon to turn and go back to the city and stay another day and wait out the rain, or turn and head directly into the cold and very wet ride and pray that the forecast and everyones information that it only gets worse the farther west you go could be over ridden by prayer. Well half way to North Battleford the rain stopped and the highway was even drying off, a few times the sun shone through and we made it to North Battleford a bit cold but not wet.P.T.L. I dropped Diane of at Smitties and went to find a gentleman that was interested in knowing more about the ranch and how he may be able to be involved. It took a bit but I did find Mr. Peterson and he was able to stop and come and have tea with us. We shared the ranch vision with him and invited him to come and visit us some time, he also gave us the name of another Lady that seemed interested in the ranch and we were able to go to her office and share the ranch vision with her. She is interested and will discuss what they can do and let us know as soon as possible. Doors open and we do what ever we can and then leave it Gods capable hands to do the rest. Our ride from NB was a bit chilly but dry and we made it home in good time and were met by Caleb, James and Dawn with big hugs and wanting to know about our trip to Brandon and the CMA rally. James did great out at the ranch while we were away he and Dave got all the siding on the north side of the building and the trim on the windows and doors. One of the realities facing missions and ministries today is the increasing need for everyone to recognize the importance of each ones involvment. Global workers who serve in restricted access nations are willing to go into scenarios that require great risk; they've been called and they've responded with a "yes". However, their yes won't amount to anything unless others gather around them and send the support needed to move the ministry ahead in building the kingdom of God. I think we can downplay the calling of being a "supporter"; it doesn't seem exciting, it seems like all we're doing is giving money and saying the occasional prayer. Friends, let me challenge you to see yourself as part of a greater TEAM; part of the kingdom initiative of reaching the lost wherever they are, even here at home. When you support a global worker you DIRECTLY participate in the activity of mission around the world, but we can never forget that there is a great need here right at home also. Look around you and recognize the value of the collective; how Together Everyone Accomplishes More and the ranch, that will be the first of it's kind will be completed and bless so many.

Tuesday's Prayer

Our financial and prayer partners are a blessing to us, each and every day and we wanted to be sure to let you know just how much we appreciate you. We believe that partnership goes both ways. We pray for our partners daily, and would appreciate the opportunity to agree with you in prayer for your needs more specifically. And we pray for blessing in your lives, as you follow the example of Isaac who sowed in the midst of a famine. The result for him was that he received a hundred-fold return in that same year of famine (Genesis 26:1,12). We pray that same blessing for you, that God will show His abundance to you in every area of your lives and that you will reap a great harvest in Jesus name Amen.
