"Arise shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you! See, darkness covers the earth and this darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you." Isaiah 60:1-2NIV
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ |
The sons of Isacchar are gathering. Those who know how to discern the signs of the times are becoming more focused and vigilant to carry the light of God's love to hurting people. We are observing this everywhere as many of the ministries we are connected to are doing as Paul commanded the Philippians. "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead." Phil. 3:13. The goal we must all be pressing in to reach is that of preaching the Gospel to the people of the "Jerusalem" in which we each are living. There is no time to keep doing the work of the ministry of Jesus in the same way we did ten years ago, or even last year. It is a new season!
Just as the farmers in some places will soon be getting fields ready for planting, Randy and I have rolled up our sleeves, put on our working/running shoes, and are running the race with more compassion than ever for the hurting people here in our area, in this state, in our country, and in the uttermost parts of the world.
These times of economic, social, political, and spiritual chaos call for creative strategies among ministries. We cannot continue to stand as separate entities. This is the season for men and women of God to lock shields and march forward in unity.
Randy and I have always been sold on the concept of "Relationship". We take to heart and to prayer every person we have ever had the pleasure of meeting on our journey heavenward. There's a reason. It is not an accident that we met. Now the Lord is bringing us into more and more connections and relationships with people. For what purpose? To expand the Kingdom of God and to be the message of the Father's love for the Glory of God.
Just keep reading and enjoying where He is taking us today. Don't forget, you who pray and, encourage us, and you who help financially (when you can), are in the ranks with us doing the "works and greater works" that Jesus said we would do! | |

In the spirit of unity and by the strategy of the Holy Spirit, Randy and I have come along side a number of ministries adding our "piece" to theirs and causing a multiplication of "fish and bread" to feed the "hungry". Here is what that looks like;
We are reaching out & ministering to:
~ Women in crisis pregnancies-Marie-Pregnancy Solutions.org
~ Our local congregation as servants and teachers-Randy & Marie- EBC
~ The poor and homeless through the local food pantry outreach-Randy&Marie
~ The sick in hospital or care units-Randy&Marie
~ You and others through written reflections, phone calls, cards, notes-Randy&Marie
~ Many others who come to our home for a meal, a visit, a prayer, days of refreshing, and just good ol' friendship - vital in these busy times!

Well, for starters Randy has completed his first book, My Special Gift, and it is in the final editing stages. He is also working on elements of the first three books of a series of stories that will each teach important lessons for our Christain life. Publication dates to be determined  later. Besides this, Randy knows he has a mandate to carry the Message of the Father 's love to all 55 counties in West Virginia. The How, Where, and When are currently being mapped out. Finally, we have had some direction from our Lord, and through several prophetic words about our continuing to minister in Germany and other nations. Again, the Lord must be the One to open the doors with clear directions and provision. You are invited to pray and join hands with us regarding these future opportunities. Thanks.

_______________________________________________________________________________ One Final Note:
We just want to close by saying "Thank You" for your part in staying connected to us over the years or in recently joining ranks with us. We are all in this together. Remember, light always swallows up the darkness. So let's arise, shine, and stand united! How bright and powerful our corporate impact upon the kingdom of darkness will be! To God be the Glory great things HE has done!
