This year is truly going to be an exciting year! We already have plans to go back to the mission fields and hold conferences for pastors and leaders. We are planning many wonderful fundraisers and church visits. There are also going to be many opportunities for you to give, volunteer and fund raise on behalf of the mission fields. We can truly say that 2011 was an awesome year! The mission trips to Zambia, Lima and Loreto, Peru, Dominican Republic, and Spain were all fantastic. We truly thank God for all the donations received and for the lives that were touched, healed, and saved! We know that many children were fed and educated. Many people were encouraged and most importantly lives were changed. But the Bible reminds us in Philippians 3:13-14 to reach forth for those things which are ahead… God is just simply telling us, "I know you have done well, but don’t stop now -- but stretch out your hand for what I am about to do next! I have got even more things for you to accomplish in 2012!"
On Sunday January 8th we visited Harvest Hope Church of God in Christ in Rhode Island. This church is so excited because they know that their giving to missions has caused a door to open for them to start the process of purchasing a new church building! What a wonderful thing! On Monday January 9th, we were so happy to have Pastor Williams and her leaders from Bread of Life Fellowship Center come visit and see what the Lord is doing through this ministry. God confirmed many things to them, causing their hearts to be full of joy and He impressed upon their hearts to become monthly donors. Oh what a great thing! On Sunday January 15th we visited New Gethsemane Outreach in Meriden. They were excited because they see that God is rewarding them for their giving to the poor! And in their church people are getting saved and healed and the Holy Ghost is moving in the church! They all know God is moving because of their giving!
You know the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:9 “… Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” This scripture just excites me because God has things prepared for us. He has great things in store for you and I to accomplish for Him! Yes, He will bless us, He will heal us, He will answer our prayers but He also has things He has prepared for us to accomplish for His glory!
This year let's get ready to do more things! Let us all rise up and accomplish the things that God has prepared for us. We all have things we can do! What are "things"? Well one of the definitions of "things" is: a variety of stuff. So God has fundraising things He wants you to be a part of, God has mission things He wants you to be a part of, volunteer things, donating things, giving things, sharing things, blessing things, working things, financing things! He has prepared so many things for you to do, to keep you active and blessing the Kingdom! He wants your life to be exciting and full of joy! And that comes with accomplishing things. So this year don’t do nothing ( no – thing) but do something ( some- things ) to bless the Kingdom of God today!
God bless you!
