"Come, let us tell of the L0rd's greatness; let us exalt His name together." Ps@lm 34:3
Exaltation #5-The F@ithfulness of our Father
As we come to the close of 2011, we bow before our Father and our G0d! We can declare nothing greater than His f@ithfulness! Since the moment He called this m1ni1stry into being, He has been f@ithful to do ALL that He has said He would do!! He has been f@ithful to guide us, walk beside us, and provide for us! He has done all of those things in ways that cause me to stop, bow down, and declare...
" You alone are God! There is none like you! There never has been and there never will be!"
God's f@ithfulness to us has been demonstrated through you--His people! Your support in every way--your prayers, your financial gifts, and your face to face encouragements both here in the states and those who have walked on M@lian soil with us--has empowered this m1n1stry and work of our Father. To Him we give pr@ise and to you we stop to say
"Thank you for believing in the G0d who does this work through us, and thank you for your gifts of support to His servants!"
We have had an amazing year in 2011, and we have seen the hand of our Father preparing an even greater year of opportunity for demonstrating Him and making Him known in 2012.
Some of the things we have already seen Him preparing the way for are
- Gift of Grain- The harvest did not produce this year due to lack of rains. Our goal is to distribute at least 200 bags of grain. Each bag costs $35.
- Words of Life- The lack of physical nourishment is also a reminder of the same lack of spiritual nourishment among the peoples with whom we work. This year along with the Gift of Grain project, we believe it is important for us to provide spiritual nourishment as well. G0d has directed our steps to a solar powered device called a Diplomat. It is tuned to a set FM radio station plus you can record oral stories and scr1ptures for the listeners. Our goal is to distribute at least 100 of these in conjunction with the opening of R@dio K@ntiguiya. Each Diplomat costs $40.
- R@dio K@ntiguiya- Launching the radio station for evangelism, d1sc1pleship, community development, and health education
- Village house- In order to have a place among the peoples with whom we work, we will be building a simple village home from which HSI servant teams can live and work.
- Community Center- The development of a place for outreach, training, and community development among the many villages and peoples groups with whom we work.
- Sewing Outreach- The first outreach project through the Community Center. We will teach 20 women to sew while also demonstrating and teaching about the love of G0d as we build relationships with these women.
- Development of Harvest Seekers Mali- An organization run by M@lian believers to model, mentor, and mobilize f0ll0wers of J.s.s to fulfill the m1ss1ion of our L0rd J.s.s Christ.
- Servant Support/Operating Expenses- The funding needed to provide, protect, and encourage those serving in the harvest field of M@li.
- For the gift of J.s.s given to each of us
- For the work of our Father in your own heart in 2011
- For the work of our Father through HSI in 2011
- For the lives that have been impacted through the demonstration of His righteousness and love
- For ALL who have joined our Father in this work
Pr@yers:
- For the people of M@li to hear, know, and see the Truth--J.s.s.
- For complete obedience and f0ll0wship of HSI to complete what our Father has planned for us
- For each of the provision from G0d's people for each projects listed above
- For G0d's guidance, wisdom, and Presence moment by moment as we seek to walk in His footprints
- For f@ith to overcome every fear
- For protection from the evil one and those who serve his purposes on earth
- For the ways in which you can join us in accomplishing G0d's purposes and plans
