New Website, Corporate Photo, Updated Bio and Guatemala?

Global Outreach Mission Has Launched A New Website
If you haven't checked out Global's new website-- CLICK HERE to gain entry. Clicking there will take you to our "Leadership" page where you can check and see if you recognize anyone...like...ME in the parade of administrative mugshots!

Then once you recognize me, click on the "Learn More" button to enjoy an official, updated bio and view my enhanced "corporate" photo. Facebook comments on the photo have moved along the lines of "sharp," NCIS", "spiffy," and "corporate."

This is not my corporate shot. This is my "it's 40 degrees outside, windy, and almost all the snow has melted working in my downtown Graham office" shot.

This is not Karen's corporate shot either. This is her "I have an abscessed tooth and am on medication for the pain" shot.

And this is Karen's "I feel better now so why don't I crush you at Rummy Cube" shot.

Meanwhile Down In Guatemala
Stephanie, one of the missionaries we coached to full support, now represents Christ in Guatemala where she provides medical care to those most needing it and works to develop a women's clinic along the very edge of the town's landfill.

Stephanie loving and caring as Jesus loves and cares.

From Stephanie:

I am going to work as a nurse in Guatemala because people are dying unnecessarily and simple education and health care can prevent that. But the real reason I am going to Guatemala is because God is going to use me to bring people into His kingdom. In a culture where women are devalued and male machismo is dominant, childbirth provides unique access into women’s lives. With such access, I can develop relationships and trust to speak to women about the Source of Life, Jesus. I will have access to talk to them about their destiny in Jesus and that of their child-whether the birth of a child brings hope and anticipation to the women, or whether it is laced with fear and grief. I will teach that God has had a name for that child since before time began. In a country that has the highest maternal and infant death rates in Central America, I can welcome the presence of God into the room and take a stand against death. I can cover the labour, delivery, and lives of the mother, baby, and family in prayer. I am not going to Guatemala to simply be a nurse. Anyone could do that. Instead, I go armed with the knowledge that God can take an earthly situation and turn it into a deeply spiritual one. I will invite the Holy Spirit into the room through worship, and be attuned to the voice of the Great Physician and Healer. I will simply be a vessel in the hand of God.

Administrative Ministry, At Times, Can Be Less Exciting Than A Marvel Comics Adventure Movie

Sometimes it may look like we're not "doing" a lot here in Graham. I mean, how many pictures can we post of us pounding on our keyboards or staring at our laptop screens? Please know that every keystroke we make, every video conference we hold, each bit of data we input and every piece of content we create...God's Kingdom is being expanded.

Some days it's even challenging for us to feel like we're making a contribution. But then we see pictures and hear the testimonies of the folks, like Stephanie, who you've helped get to the field and we remember that we're part of their journey too.

It's a long way from Graham to Guatemala

Thank you for closing that gap through your faithful partnership and prayers!
