And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap if we faint not! – Galatians 6:9
January 2020
Dear Friends,
The flurry and hustle-bustle of the holidays are behind us, and a brand new year is dawning…a new year, indeed a new decade full of hope and endless possibilities! And in spite of immense challenges and turmoil in this troubled world, God’s promise to His people is solid…we have assurance that all will be well…He will faithfully lead us by His Spirit…and His grace will always be sufficient!
At this time of year many of us take stock of our lives…and we should! To live an examined life is a great exercise for us as Christians. It’s a time of reflection…a time of setting priorities and recalibrating our trajectory. With each new year comes a fresh page on which Jesus can write new things on the tablet of our hearts!
Consider the scripture at the top of this page. It says we will reap, not we might. The key is not becoming weary. Just do the next right thing…leave the results in God’s hands…and they will be glorious. He, yet once again, will show Himself mighty and strong on our behalf.
In CELEBRANTS, we’re in a time of preparation. Just as farmers repair their equipment and prepare their fields for the next planting and harvest season, so it is with us. We’re busy recruiting singers and instrumentalists for outreaches…scheduling U.S. and overseas ministry…readying buses and equipment…and tuning up spiritually for another great and powerful year of life-changing ministry. Thanks so much for being a huge part of itwith your prayers and financial support!
I’m confident that 2020 will be another powerful year of ministry! Your prayers, love, and support help tremendously to make all of that happen! Remember…. “Only one life, ’twill soon be past, and only what’s done for Christ will last.”
The key, dear friend…going forward…is to pray, trust, hope, persevere, and never faint. Keep standing with us as our faithful partner in ministry and may 2020 be our best year yet!
With all blessings and gratitude,
