When we think of the privilege we have of travelling to many places encouraging people to live their lives missionally, with intentionality for Jesus and the Kingdom of God, we are truly grateful. Thankful to God for the call He's placed on our lives to be missions cultivators. Thankful for partners who join with us to accomplish what we could never do on our own. Thankful, yes, even for COVID. It has caused us to have greater dependence on God, leaning into Him for leading and guidance as we face the new challenges, and opportunities, COVID has given us.
While we continue to have online ministry opportunities, we rejoice that things are slowly beginning to open up and we've been able to begin travelling a bit more freely. On September 4th our odometer hit 100,000 miles! We thanked the Lord for our Speed the Light vehicle, a reliable, comfortable Ford Escape, and for the youth who raised the money for it. Our Escape has taken us throughout the United States enabling us to challenge believers to live more intentionally and missionally for King Jesus.
As we approach this Thanksgiving season we want you to know that you are one of the reasons we regularly pause to give thanks to God. In a season where our nation has experienced chaos and confusion, it is imperative that we remember Jesus is sovereign. His plan will be accomplished. And God urges each of us to be a part of it. There is no plan B. Thank you for being an integral part of our team, joining us in lifting Jesus up as we continue to cultivate missions throughout our nation!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
