Time Well Spent For Sure...

This week brought lots of travel as we visited friends, ministry partners and family along the way. In the last three days we spent time with a potential St. Louis church planter we hope to keep on the line until he graduates. (We need this guy and his vision and his team for St. Louis.) We also spent special time with a partnering family who have a son, Matthew who just got back from Iraq, so it was party time. Then we met with some of our ministry partners in Elkhart, Indiana for lunch today (Wednesday). Rich time -well spent.

I'm in for a few days then out to Freeman, South Dakota to coach a church and then on to district conference.

What blesses me most these days is the sacrificial support of our ministry partners. Nothing matters to them but to pray for us daily and to be faithful in giving to our ministry. Once again I am blown away by the dedication and sacrificial participation of our partners. They love us and they give because they believe in what we are doing. I'm just humbled and blessed and blown away by it. Who would do this for us? People who love Jesus, that's it.

At times like this I am humbled to tears and overwhelmed by the God-sized vision of it all. We will never humanly do this on our own. But Alone Jesus can do it all. And yet He still wants to use you and me and everyone else do acomplish His plans. My job is to simply trust Him for the People and Provision to get the job done.

I am happy tonight after seeing our friends, people who love us in spite of our falts. When with them we are free to be ourselves and when we are ourselves they still love us bunches. They look beyond our buldges, balding and boy do I love them every one.

I'm praying and ask you to pray also, For the Lord of the Harvest to send forth workers into Kansas City and St. Louis. And while you are praying with faith -please ask for the resources that are needed too.

We love you...
