Back Home
We are back from our visit to Florida and it sure is good to be home. There is something about these mountains that draws me to them. Perhaps it is the fresh air. Maybe it is heritage; I was born here. Scripturally, the mountains are a place of refuge and safety–maybe this is my place of healing and respite for now. It is home.
By the way, we are in need of help here for teachers, a librarian, maintenance, and more. If you are called to a mission here in the United States, please let us know.
As a ministry, we are preparing for school to start back up next month and working to facilitate small group worship. Our vision is to take our family meetings and open them up once per week to faculty and neighbors. It is a way to create a tighter extended family bond and to encourage one another. We are using an adaption of the old Friends (Quaker) style of gathering: First is a period of welcoming Christ into our midst and reflecting upon the Word. Participants are free to speak out what is on their heart or to remain silent as the Spirit leads. Next is a time of worship in song, then a teaching or discussion. Following that are announcements and a family meal. Please pray for us as we move towards a deeper sense of community and an expansion of our capacity for Christian Love.
