| Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma's house in Grass Valley |
In less than a month our family will be taking on all the responsibilities of full time ministry with
Christian Service Brigade
(CSB Ministries). This is absolutely exhilarating but as you might
imagine a bit nerve racking and stressful. Were it not for God clearly
calling us to this ministry the daunting enormity of it might just seem
too big. However, with such a clear call the bigness of the call just
makes it all the more exciting! As Jesus reminded us
"He
told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the
Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest
field." -- Luke 10:2
With
the echos of a delicious Thanksgiving meal (or two) still pushing up
the corners of my mouth that word "plentiful" has an especially
encouraging ring to it.
We are in fact
seeing a growing desire of fathers to disciple their sons, of sons to
turn their hearts to their fathers, and of churches to help equip men in
this gospel calling (Malachi 4:6). Don't believe me? Every newsletter I
provide a story to encourage even the most "glass half empty" realists
among us. If you read a little farther you'll get to this months really
cool story.

AN IMPORTANT WAY YOU CAN HELP:
As
we end this year, and look ahead to a new life as full time domestic
missionaries we are entirely dependent on people like you to support us
financially in this ministry. As of today we still have more than half
of our support left to raise. Would you partner with us by committing
to support our ministry with a monthly or even one time financial gift
as we strive to help churches effectively reach men and boys for
Christ?
We are praying for 5 partners at $250/month, 25 partners at $100
/month, and 35 partners at $50/month but we are genuinely grateful for whatever you are able to do.
We
are so excited that God has given us this great calling, please join us
in whatever way God has enabled you as we work together to help equip
the next generation of faithful Christian men with vision and tools to
advance the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ! Three easy ways to support
our ministry are described on the sidebar to the right side of the blog.
