29 degree greetings from Coshocton, Ohio. It seems Saturdays are becoming my day to blog. That's okay.
Home
As this year rapidly draws to a close and Karen and I look ahead, we look to establish some different routines. Over the past year, our ministry to the Fresno Bible Church young adults in leading them through Steve McVey's Grace walk and Andrew Murray's Abiding in Christ, has impacted us deeply, given us new understanding of God and the possibilities in growing to know Him, and opened our eyes and hearts to desire an intimacy with Him we could have never before imagined. We're still trying to grasp it all and are trusting God to incorporate these Scriptural truths into the very essence of our souls. Its so exciting to learn there really IS more to God and faith than the every day grind we'd become so accustomed to and entrenched in.
I could run a list of the books and people The Spirit has used in our lives over the past three years, and is using, to re-shape our faith but now isn't the time. However, I will mention two more books, that are real and vibrant in our lives right now: The Complete Green Letters, by Miles J. Stanford; and Mansions of the Heart, by R. Thomas Ashbrook.
The Mission
Things at MMS are changing, too. The mission is entering its third year of organizational evaluation and reorganization. It has been, and continues to be, an amazing process where God is clearly at work reshaping and refreshing a solid, proven, and well-respected ministry to better meet the needs of a dramatically changing mission environment. This God-process is causing each one of us to dig deep within and determine on the most intimate personal levels whether or not we trust Him enough to handle every little detail of mission administration and operation. I can never get far away from Proverbs 3:5-6. I guess if I have a "life verse" that would be it.
On the technical side at MMS, the guys are tearing into the Arctic Barnabas Navajo. Here's a video I put together to begin documenting the project and a couple snapshots.
