A Beautiful Promise...

A Beautiful Promise...
"For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations."

Off and Running!

We're in the full swing of Partnership Development now after a full month of getting together with families and churches to share our heart and calling.  We've been having a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new people.  It's been encouraging hearing how excited others get about what the Lord is doing in missions around the world!  


We've also had some great opportunities to travel and talk with a few church congregations about mission and our heart for Thailand.  We have been moved by our interactions with brothers and sisters in Christ as we talk about being actively involved in the global church body through mission work.  


**This link is a huge list of big and small ways to get involved 
with what Jesus is doing around the world!**


This is a great sermon on the missional church by Charles Stanley that my mom shared with me.  It's about 25 minutes long, and would be great to listen to as you cook dinner or surf the web!  


Here are a couple photos for our trip to Huntingdon, PA: 
We traveled around with an itinerant pastor and were able to preach at three churches on Sunday, February 5.
This was the third church that we preached at in Huntingdon.  Phil's Grandma Bookhamer and some cousins attend there.  
1 Corinthians 3:4-6 says, "4 Such confidence we have through Christ before God. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

Thank you for your prayers during this time of partnership development and preparation for Thailand.  The Lord is so faithful to provide!
