Christmas is a time of reflection and gratitude. Reflecting upon God's grace and  mercy, given to us in His Son, Jesus Christ, reminds us of the foundation for all that we are and do. This cyclical pattern of reflection leading to gratitude may be your Advent experience. Christ's sustaining grace and mercy fuels gratitude. Out of gratitude, I thank you for your support, both prayer and financial. It is NXTGEN's mission to provide pastoral development, health, and sustainability by empowering presbyteries to equip pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders for the next generation. It is my prayer that as we partner together we can see Christ's sustaining grace and mercy produce increasing gratitude in those in pastoral ministry. |
Christ's sustaining power also gives us grace for the journey. I have experienced that this year. I am grateful for the hospitality shown to me during my travels and for the interest in NXTGEN. This year grace was shown through numerous friends, old and new, who came alongside me as we served the Body of Christ. I am excited as we head into the New Year to see what the Lord has in store for us, for His glory. Please continue to pray for the Lord's grace in this New Year for an increasing impact among those preparing for ministry as well as those already serving the Body of Christ.
