<\/p>\nDon\u2019t you love it when you place a call to a business or an 800 number and you get an automated call-center robot that begins with \u201cPlease listen carefully to the following as our menu options have changed\u201d and then it steps you thru menu after menu, only to learn that they don\u2019t offer the option you need.\u00a0 \u2026Or if you do strike it lucky enough to find what you need you soon find yourself in an enduring que.\u00a0 \u201cYour wait time is approximately 17 minutes,\u201d they\u2019ll say.\u00a0 So they put you on hold and you wait\u2026 and you wait.\u00a0 Many times it feels like life is on hold.\u00a0 \u2013Ever feel that way?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t have a menu for ministry but we certainly have options in our role of mobilizing harvest workers to motivate the gospel among unreached people. Some of those people live far away.\u00a0 \u2026And some of them live right in our own community.\u00a0 But these aren\u2019t options; they are opportunities the Lord gives to each of us to impact another with the gospel.<\/p>\n
Comparatively, there are people groups all around the world whose lives are seemingly on hold when it comes to receiving the gospel.\u00a0 –While modern missions has done much to speed the gospel to previously isolated and unreached areas, there is much to do to reach the remaining people groups who wait for a gospel witness.\u00a0 We\u2019re working to change that by mobilizing young people who will step up to the task and deliver the message that will impact lives for eternity.<\/p>\n
We feel like our lives are on hold right now as we balance ministry duties with current family responsibilities.\u00a0 While we\u2019ve cut ministry hours to nearly half, we\u2019ve increased family duties to nearly double though we are still putting in full-time hours of ministry.\u00a0 It\u2019s just that other responsibilities have pressed us down to a regular 40 hour work week although we would rather be pressing forward with our normal, crazy-busy schedule.<\/p>\n
Yes, our \u2018menu has changed\u2019 and some things feel like they are on hold.\u00a0 \u2026But we are doing our utmost to serve where God has placed us.\u00a0 Please keep us in your prayers as we continue making life impact through meetings with interested individuals for ministry consultations, speaking to small groups, in college-n-career group, in camps, in churches, and wherever and whenever the Lord opens an opportunity for us to motivate missions in the plan of God to declare Christ to the nations.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your partnership\u2026 we\u2019re in this together with God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
