Summer is just around the corner. Summer is filled with the type of stuff everyone envisions when they think of ministry - kids sharing their faith, mission trips, foreign missionaries, sports camps, local outreach and the list goes on. All of that is wonderful and exciting and fun.
But the truth is that it's not any more important than the paperwork, the mundane, the answering emails. It's just different tasks for different seasons that the Lord has called us to. And we rejoice in BOTH.
Join me as we pray for:
1. More sign ups from participants, YMI team leaders and churches.
2. A cook for the Seattle YMI Team Training, March 13-17.
3. YMI Team Training in Sacramento that starts TODAY.
4. Health for our staff - we have been passing sickness from person to person.
5. Attention to detail as we prepare in the coming months for summer ministry.
Join me as we praise God for:
1. Our personal health - Morgann was really sick a couple weeks ago. Nathan didn't catch it and Morgann is now feeling 100% better.
2. We are 92% supported!! Praise God! We still have that last 7% to go, but we know that God will provide. If you are interested in supporting us, please let me know (Facebook, morgann@ymimissions.org, phone)
3. BASE Sports has been getting more churches signed up for camps (Nathan's job) and more people have committed to being coaches this summer!
4. The only volunteer position left to fill before summer is a cook in March! Wow! God is good!
5. Our home church here in Salem is wonderful. We are feeling very connected, plugged in and a part of what God is doing there.
Thank you for your support of us in prayer, in ministry, in life. We are blessed to have many people who love us, care for us and are eager to see what God is doing at Youth Missions International.
The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.
By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
May the words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalm 19:7-14
