Thursday

The seepage field is looking great and almost complete.

The new condo highrise is almost done and what a beautiful highrise it is, all 240 stories.

It seems God knows where we are and just how we are doing. Got home from the ranch about 7:30 and Diane had to go to a shower, so I had supper and did some paper work thaen the call came. Well it was Brent Biers and he called to encourage us and to let us know that they are standing by us and always encouraged with the progress at the ranch. I know we aren't supposed to need encouragement that God should be all need, but I believe it was God's timing that Brent called and we had a great conversation about the walk of starting something new. So today or tomorrow take a moment and give some one a call, not just some one you always call that's easy, but someone that you have'nt called for awhile. Check with the main operator He'll have the name and number ready for you and He'll help you with whatbto say. Go figure!!!!

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.
