so yeah...God continues to bring volunteers to us...last week we had a great leaders meeting. we are up to 3 volunteers...so we increased by 200% from the last meeting. (we had 1 at the first meeting.) it was a great time. we went to the rib cage and i got sauce all over the side of my face and no one told me the whole night...kinda their little joke...ha,ha..it was funny...(i kinda got them back by accident the next night. see i was invited to this concert and i invited them...i was told it was free...well, when we get there and sit down...we find out that its a benefit concert for an innercity school and we all ended up having to give....i hope they forgive me..lol)and then we went and spent some time in the word...ephesians 2:10-for we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared us in advance to do. i shared the vision of what we are trying to do in philly and then prayed....please continue to pray that God will had to our numbers...matthew 9:37-38--then he said to his disciples, "the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
another great thing this month that happened...was committee-leader weekend for our region...man..was it good...all 5 of our committee members went and we had some fun. God is knitting our hearts together in ways in which i would of never thought possible...God has definitely brought men of peace together which has been my prayer. please continue to pray for us as we grow in numbers...we want to look like the city that we are reaching out in...pray for more men of peace...
i could write for days but i'm not good at it obviously..i will be like John who at the end of his gospel says...basically Jesus did alot of things and i couldn't possibly write about them all...and thats the same in here in philly...Jesus continues to move and shake and bring things together...
i will close with this...i came upon this verse the other day and its stuck with me...philemon 1:6--"i pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." that is my prayer for us(you and me)...that will actively share our faith...wherever we are..so that we will have a FULL UNDERSTANDING OF EVERY GOOD THING WE HAVE IN CHRIST."
be one the lookout...i working on getting some photos on here....i want to take a picture of our first school...william penn high school...i found out that the head principal there is a believer in Jesus...pray for favor and leaders as we begin there on april 1st...
thanks so much!!
grace and peace.
