Sarah and James are off to Tailand or some place like that to help street kids to learn soccer. Wow after a 23 hour plane rode they will be doing a lot of setting up and getting organized.
We were blessed with more donations of materials for the ranch today doors, windows, sinks and urnals.
The landcape of the ranch has certainly changed as we now have power lines and the potential for power to the shop in the next few weeks. P.T.L.d
Dave and I had to move an old hose reel so we set it up and walked inside of it to make it roll and boy did it ever roll good till Dave fell down inside the barbarack toy and almost......... Well let's say he's going to be ok once the swelling goes down. Boys and their toys.
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. |
