Ministry Update August 22, 2008

Acts 17:10-11
“…for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed…”

Thank you to all who covered my husband and me in prayer during our recent motorcycle trip out west. We had a wonderful time of relaxation and truly enjoyed God’s beautiful creation as we visited numerous National Parks in the United States and Canada. I flew home on Wednesday and Paul is continuing the trip home by cycle. I basically have had one day to catch up from being away for 3 weeks before heading out today for Franklin, Pa, for a speaking engagement.




The weekend retreat that I will be participating in is sponsored by Todd Agnew, a contemporary Christian musician. His songs are heard all across the nation. He will be giving a concert tonight and teaching tomorrow (Saturday) morning from 9-11. I will have a one hour session from 11:00 to 12:00, and another hour session from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. The topic of my workshop that was assigned to me is, “Am I loveable?” Todd will wrap up the afternoon in word and song. Then Sunday I will be speaking at a church in the area during the Sunday school hour as well as in the evening with the youth group. I am thrilled at both of these opportunities and look forward to what God will do in the lives of these teens. I will return home on Monday.

My daughter, Shelly, is making the five hour drive with me and I am really looking forward to having time alone with her over the next four days! Even though she lives next door to us, it is hard to find quality time to be together so we feel this is a bonus to be able to spend time together as we serve the Lord.

This weekend will be busy so please pray in the following ways based on the above verses from Acts 17:
--Pray that the teens will receive the message that I and the other speakers bring with great eagerness.
--Pray that they will be motivated to examine and search the Scriptures daily to learn truth for themselves.
--Pray that many of these precious teens will believe the Word and grow in their knowledge of Jesus and settle the question once and for all, “Am I loveable?”
