What's been going on?
Quite simply, a lot. Our Sunday Gatherings are going strong, our family has grown to about 14 each week and we are really enjoying sharing our stories of hope and in worship with one another. It's been a challenge for me personally to prepare a sermon each week because of the personal challenges that come with attempting to bring a message from God, as well as it's just something new...but the faithfulness of God has resulted in all kinds of challenges for our family as well as in God's own glory. We had our final cook-out a week ago, and while Mandy and I are thankful to take a break from it until the weather turns back into our favor...I'm going to miss it. We had at least 60 different people come through our backyard and eat a hot dog, hamburger, chicken, ribs and more throughout the summer and we hope to see even more come through next summer. We are currently working on a replacement for the cook-outs so we don't lose our chances for new relationships. The Manna Truck ministry is getting ready to have it's inaugural visit to New Columbia at the end of this month. We are so excited and cannot wait for this chance to bring a bit of manna to our neighbors, pray that God would receive all the glory and honor because of it. Our Ladies DCAF group that Mandy has been leading is continue to offer challenges for the ladies that get together to study God's word and encourage one another. And my job is keeping me busy; I'm up to 30 hours down at New Columbia, but the new relationships I've started to build are worth it, I'm blessed to be able to have a 'job' that provides a way for me to fulfill the Mission.
What's coming?
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and everything that comes with that, there is the possibility of us being able to join with other churches in the community and we are extremely excited about that. We are preparing the Manna Truck and ways to extend serving during those times, and we are looking to start a leadership team type meeting with a few members of our family, so pray for those things.
We still are earnestly praying for more workers and God is beginning to raise up our family members to become more a part of the mission. If you are looking for more ways to be a part of God's specific mission out here on top of prayer, check out the section below. And if you'd rather not receive this email, just lemme know...I don't want to crowd anyone's inbox.
Believing that the God who has called us, is the God who is making the kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven,
