As we finish up a busy spring and summer season (and jump right into a jam-packed fall), we just want to say a huge thank you. Thank you for what you have done for the Lord in being willing to partner with us.
As I have been working through Philippians. I think of Paul’s thankfulness to those who have cared for him through His ministry. You all have definitely cared for us. We are thankful for all of your prayers, support, and partnership in our ministry together. I truly believe God is “multiplying your talents.” What do I mean? Let me share just a few examples:
- A church shared with us that a young lady accepted the Lord as her Savior at camp and that she is now boldly sharing the gospel with her family.
- The Hacienda, which is our specialized retreat just for pastors and their families to be refreshed and focus on the future vision of the church, now has over 60 churches being represented & being served through that facility alone. Your “talents” have served, strengthened, built up, refreshed, and helped long-term pastors, new pastors, church plants, families, church bodies, and co-church relationships. It has been a place of decision for pastors and their families.
- The Path-to-the-Pastorate program we have has helped 4 families go into ministry and is working with one as we speak.
- We recently served a group of missionaries to Canada, India, and Mexico.
- We just finished our summer serving churches with many young people coming to know the Lord as their Savior, growing in their walk with God, and taking the next steps of faith.
- This summer, we also served churches across the country as we served our summer staff. It was fun to see some of them even make decisions to go into full-time ministry.
The list goes on and on, but it is amazing to me that God takes our “small abilities” and reaches the world. What we put back into the hands of God can do and reach much further than any of us can imagine. Thank you again for partnering with us in this ministry.
