It has been a while since we wrote
in this journal. So much has happened and so much will be happening.
Last Saturday, I visited the
ministry in Keeseville. We had a great time of fellowship. The leader who
taught that night taught on the rewards of being faithful in this life. Two
unsaved teens came in that night. I sat in on one of the small groups with the
new students. One of these teens opened up about how he had hit rock bottom so
he came to church to turn his life around. We shared the Gospel with him and
encouraged him. He didn’t make a decision but we are praying for him to choose
Jesus soon! I was able to encourage Jim, the leader, afterwards and build a
relationship with him.
This week has been intense planning
and preparation for Word Leadership Conference. We are about 75%
ready for it to happen. Last night we looked at the rooms we’ll be using. It
was so cool to envision all those students and children who will be encouraged
and built up in their faith. Maybe, some will make decisions for salvation, put
away old sins or many will be encouraged to keep on keeping on! God is going to
do exciting things there.
Through all of this, we have been
challenged with the reality that every opportunity counts! Another thing God is
teaching us that in the hard times and the good times, keep the focus on Him
and others. The moment we become self-focused is the moment when all caves in
because we have confined God to our circumstantial box.
God help us all to press on in
our pursuit of you! May you be honored in all that we do! We love you
God.
