Tuesday

Our day started out with a lot of rain and so we spent a bit of extra time at our morning devotions. Dave always has such great input and James can always come up with a great challenge to get us all thinking. Today we were talking about crossing the line or stepping across the line into someone else's world, being willing to give a little or to be willing to try to understand the person across the line from you you. Well James grab the bible and set it between us and said there now there should be no more line. WOW go figure and how true.

After several attempts at trying to get the big generator going properly we called in the pro Darryll Wills. We no sooner called him and he was on the road out to the ranch and with in a short time he had all working perfect. We then blessed him with a fine lunch of wieners and beans and good ranch coffee.

Dave and I got a start on the water main, we have a lot of sand to deal with so we need to be very careful as we move along.

James got the walk in doors in place and other than a few parts we should have them done soon.

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. Friend, 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. 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.

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.
