God Is Moving Mountains!

     It has been another great week working for the Master.  God has been moving mountains to clear the path for New Life MBC to get started.  We are getting great responses from the churches we are visiting.  God is casting the vision before the people.  We are praying for the churches to come on board financially, and prayerfully.

We had the opportunity to be with Brother Dan Dye and the members of Mt. Calvary MBC in Marion Ind. this weekend.  It is exciting to see what God is doing there.  They had 42 in attendance and baptised 2 in the morning service.  This church has been looking for this type of revival to happen for a long time.  God is answering their prayers. 

     We then headed to Faith Baptist Church in Greenwood Ind. to be with Brother Steve Maxie and his congregation to share the vision with them.  Brother Steve Maxie is a man that is focused on mission work.  They had exciting news from their faith promise commitments.  They are prayerfully considering who God will have them support in the mission works. 

     One thing I have learned as a member of a church is that it is exciting to see what God is doing in Missions all over the world.  As a member we get to see these exciting things happen when a missionary comes and shares their vision.  I never really put two and two together until I became one of those missionaries and got to travel around and see what God is also doing in the churches.  It is really exciting to see the churches on fire for serving our savior.  I have often said if we want to set the world on fire for God then we, as children of God, must get our hearts on fire for him.  I am thankful to see that this is what is going on in the churches we have visited.  Their hearts are on fire for God and it is spreading to the people in their communities.

    Our God Loves us, and keeps us on his mind continually.  If all people would understand how much he truly loves us, we could set the world on fire.  I have shared a message with most of the churches that I have visited that comes from the 139th Psalms  verses 17-18 talk.   They talk about how much God thinks of us.  In order to know how much God loves us, think of sand.  His thoughts of us are as numerous as all the grains of sand in the world.  Only God knows how many grains that is. 

     If you are ever wondering how much God thinks of just you, out of the millions of people in this world, think of Grains of sand.  If you can't grasp how much that is, get a Ziploc bag full of sand, wet the tip of your finger, lightly touch the sand, and then count how many grains are on your finger.  Almost impossible to number. Now think of all the grains of sand in the world, that is how much he thinks of you!!!  Exciting isn't it!!!!  Keep this thought in mind as you labor for your savior.

God Bless You
