He's On Our Side

Dear Reader:

First of all, my car, which I fondly call "Reggie" or "Lil' Reg", was recovered by the Minneapolis Police last Friday evening. This is wonderful! But let me say, "he" does NOT look good. Carelessly vandalized by his abductors, he has suffered severe damage. I will still be purchasing a new used vehicle as soon as possible, because "Lil Reg" is not even close to being worth saving.
But thank you so much to all of you who were faithfully praying!
What shall we say? God is on our side, brothers and sisters! He takes care of us.

Here in the Twin Cities chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship, we are gearing up for a series of three consecutive Fundraising events at the end of April. The committee here has done a great deal of planning for these events, and the Twin Cities director, Maureen, called on me to work with her on confirming the speakers for the program, and all that goes into that. We all are sure these events will come together nicely, with all glory to God, and Lord willing, a great response will follow!

We are praising God for the high school and college students we have applying for our Christian Youth in Action summer program! We are beginning to process applications now and conduct interviews. These students need your prayers as well as they commit to being a part of a ministry (CEF) that will change their life in huge ways, if they allow God to work through them. Teaching children the Gospel and watching as the Lord works in their lives and brings them to the place of responding to Christ's offer of salvation will do incredible things to your own personal faith!
Remember! You could even volunteer, yourself! Or Seek to become part of the ministry of CEF in some way. Our mission is to "Evangelize children with the Gospel, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in the church for Christian living."
You could be a part of this "something greater".

Through these last few months, I cannot humanly express all that I have felt and experienced. The battle of life has been hot and difficult. "If I can just survive this season!" But let me encourage you... life's not just about survival. Every season of life is beautiful. The battle may not let up, but realizing that God is ON YOUR SIDE and that He has promised "I will be with your wherever you go" will change your very existence.
As Believers, we are part of something that is so much bigger than ourselves. We do not live for ourselves. We do not simply survive... we thrive in the hands of our God.
