Go Beyond....

The theme at Shell Lake this year I'd "Go Beyond"

Go beyond ... your situation
Go beyond ... your vision
Go beyond ... you view of God
Go beyond ... your daily life

We talk about how big God is and that there is no limitations for Him. That He is able to do abundantly more than we could ever hope or pray for. That the vision He has given us is meant to take us beyond our current definition of who He is.

I struggle - not with the dream God has been cultivating in me but in the process of its completion. 

I love the encouragement from this conference to believe God for big God size things. 

Shell Lake

It is conference time and we arrived last night to conference number 2. Shell Lake has held their conference for 32 years. This is only my 4th year attneding. But I am blessed every year by swing the connections that started then grow into friendships that they are today.

This week is always so encouragin when a group of believers worshiping  and following God come together the Spirit moves mightily.  I'm always amazed by the missionaries who have been serving for as long as I've lived, to hear the stories of God's faithfulness through their life... makes you see things differently. 

1st night was on going out.... I can't wait to hear tomorrows.

God bless!

 
 

 

Travelling with the Lil one

We made it.
   After a relaxing 3 days of family time in Minocqua we headed off for our first conference in Carlton MN. It is different traveling as a family of 3. Lots more lugage and a few more breaks. Thankfully our host family at this conference is set up for grandbabies! They have a place for Stephen to sleep and we even got to try him out in a little bumbo chair.

Mission conference 1 of the month.
We were so blessed by thus conference last year.  The church members at New Life are so welcoming and encouraging. Last year was a great time of prayer and we are looking forward to thE same this year. 

We will keepyou updated on here and Facebook of our travels. Remember while we are out and about we are praying for God to send us out. We are looking for 14 more people to financially partner with us on a monthly (or annual) level so we can be 100% by the end of the month.

If you or someone you know is interested you can message me at megan.mayer@gemission.org or you can go directly to gemission.org (acc 27316). Please help us reach the young adults by reaching out to your friends about the ministry on England

 

It's October

  Well it is October and that means one thing for the Mayer family...  Conferences.

  With our Booyah Sale over (a BIG thank you to all those who helped, came, and bought) we were blessed to raise $2,700.00 to go towards being prepared for leaving in January. 

  Now we are back to traveling for most of the month. After three days of family rest in Minocqua we will first attend the conference in Carlton, MN and then after a quick trip back home we will join our friends for our fourth year at the Shell Lake conference.  We finish the month by speaking at a church in Fond Du Lac and then 3 days with my family in Milwaukee.

   This time of year always brings an extra treat of getting to see Pastor Kelton (the pastor we will be working with in Somerset). He is the one who has introduced us to these conferences. It is always an encouraging time to have with him, we are able to vision plan and get updates from the field.  This year is especially exciting because we get to plan the first quarter of our ministry for when we land on the field in January. 

  Stay tuned for updates on here regarding the conferences and when we will be leaving.  We are so appreciative that you have taken this journey with us. We know that your prayers make all the difference, we ask that you continue to pray for us over the next few months during this transition period.  Please pray for Stephen, easy travel and continued calm demeanor and continued good health. For Eric and I - emotions, stress, everything that has to happen before we leave. For safety as we drive and for the last monthly support we need to raise. 

  We will be working towards raising the last remaining $760.00 so that we can start applying for our visas at the end of November.  If you know anyone who may be interested in learning more about the ministry please have them facebook message me or email me for details. I will be posting about partnering soon on facebook, when you see it please feel free to share with your friends.

Thanks
Mayers ~
