I see Jesus...

The speaker for our Perspectives Class Sunday night was Stan Yoder who brought his wife, Valli. He taught our lesson titled "How Shall They Hear?” while she interjected with her support of his message. The premise of the lesson was the importance of understanding the culture of a people group at its deepest level (its worldview) as a means for sharing the gospel successfully. The material alone was so powerful. However, the power behind the couple who shared was Jesus. I told Patty on the way home that I love it when you don't see the man . . . you just see Jesus. My home church, Antioch Missionary Baptist, is like that. In the pulpit and in the worship, you don't see a “personality” or a man, you just see Jesus. I know we all are human and so are the men I've just mentioned, but what I also know about them is this: when they are yielded to the gifts and the God who gave them the gifts for ministry, you see Jesus. I also know that anyone of us, when we are yielded to the gifts and the God that gave the gifts for ministry, people will see Jesus. Has anyone been able to see Jesus because of your gifting from God lately?

Belize is only a few weeks away. The team is sooooo ready and excited. The missionary women are excited, too. Please continue to pray for more women to sign up for the trip. We have room. Also, please pray and give as you are led by the Spirit of God. Remember our theme is "Let Your Light Shine" Matthew 5:16. 

Also, remember to pray against the warfare that always goes on around any ministry team that is going to encourage others to stay the course for the Kingdom’s sake!

Love you guys!

His,
