How?

That's the big question! How are we going to accomplish all the tasks we believe God has set before us? Well, the answer is with His power and Spirit.

Aimee has already answered part of the question by explaining Bible-storying. It's a really neat way to teach someone Bible truths and for them to remember. The people you tell the story to actually glean so much truth because the Spirit speaks to them just as much as to us.

Also, we are doing VBS activities, women's Bible studies, and adult discipleship. (On the VBS thing... Aimee and I have been practicing balloon animals and swords!! So much fun!!) I'd like you to pray for me though as I am going to be leading the intro into each Bible story for the adults by using the Discple's Cross. Aimee and I had the privilege to go through MasterLife 1 and 2 earlier this year, and our trip leader, Randy, decided I needed to be the one to present the Discple's Cross on our trip. What an honor! I'm excited to share each part of it, but it's a lot of material to memorize and share. Pray that the Spirit uses the truths and tools that I share to help these Christians grow into effective disciples.

Here's a preview of the end. We have several things to be His disciples, among which:

  1. LORD who asks for our all each and every day
  2. RELATIONSHIPS with God and others
  3. COMMITMENTS to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him
  4. RESOURCES in His Word, prayer, fellowship, and witnessing
  5. MINISTRIES of Teaching/Preaching, Worship/Intercession, Nurture, Evangelism, and Service
  6. DISCIPLINES to have time with the Master, live in the Word, pray in faith, fellowship with believers, witness to the world, and minister to others
Thanks for stopping by and continuing to lift us up in prayer to a faithful and loving God!
