Baptism

What an amazing Sunday. Eric was so excited and we were both so blessed to be part of the Baptism service for two young adults here in Highbridge.  

It was a wonderful service where the gospel was shared and people rejoiced. Looming forward to continuing this faith journey with these two :) 

All in His time

I am a planner... I love lists and calendars and sticky notes... I love to line the steps up and then see things come together.
Most of my lists have time frames and include set goals and expectations...

Are you like me? 

This isn't bad, until we apply it to our walk with God, our ministry, our experience and expectations. 

Gods time line is never ours, his to do list always outshines mine and very rarely are all my items included on his..
I often wonder  when God sees my list what He would mark as not necessary and what he would add at the bottom. Do we leave room for God to add at the bottom, or does he have to write in a tiny corner, like when you have to add onions to your grocery list and it ends up being written sideways across apple's and bananas...

I digress.  One thing God has been teaching me is it is all in His timing. I might think things need to be done at a certain time or pace, might feel pressure to have things done at a certain time or pace but it ultimately comes down to His time and His pace...sometimes it's a lot slower than I want, ok often times it is... but sometimes it comes so quick you just hold on, close your eyes and praise him that he doesnt let go.

So what ever your searching, waiting, planning... trust His time ♡

MEETING AT THE MEETING PLACE

It's been great getting to see the transformation from where we started to where we are now. With each week the Meeting Place is looking more and more promising.

While the to do list always seems to grow and there are issues we haven't begun to understand we know we can rest in God's peace, that he is in control.

Pray with us as we learn about the health and safety regulations, the policies we have to write, the electric and heating issues, and even the simple how to stock the place.

 

 

 

This past month

I am sorry I did not post this praise back in mid August.  I got in the habit of posting on our Facebook page and forgot to also add it to hear.

But on August 11th, we had an amazing day! Eric preached at church this morning about our perspective.  Then after church we made lunch for 9 young adults. We sat down with them and had a vision session regarding the community center we are opening. It was so great to see God move and hear the vision and passion these people have for the center.

We are meeting with the young adults again this Sunday to continue planning and praying for the Meeting Place.  We have 7 people signed up already!

A visit home

We are coming to a town near you!

 

      We are so excited by what God is doing, He is calling the youth in England. We have a new building and are preparing to open a youth community center by the end of 2019.

    The youth in England struggle with loneliness  and a deep prejudice of the church.. Scott, a teenager from Highbrdige was so desperate for connection he carried his friend (who swore he would never step foot in a church) through the doors to attend a youth event. By the end both were playing games, talking with us, and most importantly heard the gospel. The use of a community center will remove a large hurdle from sharing the gospel with the youth. We are excited to be a part of God’s plan and are grateful that you are part of this journey with us.   

     We will be visiting Wisconsin this October. We have a few conferences to attend and want a chance to share with you, in person, all that God is doing.  During our trip we will be working towards our goal of raising $500 in monthly support to make sure we can run the center without issue.  

    We hope to be able to connect with as many of you as possible.  We also need your help sharing what God is doing and inviting others to hear as well.  

    We have some dates set aside to do some ‘sharing events’.  These are opportunities for us to come to you and share what God is doing with a group of your friends, family, a Bible Study, youth group, or Small group.  These events last around 1.5-2.5 hours (depends on your group) and are a fun night of fellowship where we share stories of God moving and invite others to join us, in prayer and/or support. It’s really simple for you, pick a date, invite anyone who is interested in youth ministry, missions, England, or just hearing good God stories, put out some drinks and snacks and we will do the rest (we can even help with snacks and send helpful reminders). 

    The biggest worry is that you may not know anyone who can financially partner… don’t worry about that, let God. We just want to share what He is doing. If you are interested in helping us share, even with 1 other person - please look at the dates below and let us know when works for you through email (Megan.mayer@gemission.org) or Facebook message.  But don’t delay cause these dates may go fast. 

Hope to see you soon,

    Eric, Megan & baby Stephen
