What a great start today on building relationships with our Serbian and Roma brothers. What passonate people we have been blessed to be around. Like we expected we are learning from their firey hearts for Jesus.
Today God showed his faithfulness in our meetings. The first meeting that Jim, Marty, and Myself had with some of the leaders of the church turned out to be challenging when it came some of the Discipleship topics. They seem to be so busy with the just leading the church, that it can be over whelming to even imagine pooring their lives into indivduals full time when so many other needs to be met. We had some good prayer and trust with God for the next meeting in the afternoon and of course God came through. The pastors really seemed to open their hearts in just hours after the first, tuff meeting.
What a honor to serve next to these seven men from Rolling Hills. You would be so proud of how they are all representing Jesus with such peace. Keep us in your prayers, cause we all know that God is working in wonderful ways.

Thanks,
Garrett

Garrett...
ReplyDeleteHow quickly you've been able to identify the challenges faced in ministry. Leading and caring for people is demanding...and then to be challenged with investing quality, relational time in a few. It's thrilling to hear how you devoted time to prayer...expressing your dependence on the Father. He is with you, and your family and faith community stands behind you.
