Greetings!

Hope you had a great weekend!
Anniversary? Yes, I engaged in ministry on Friday March 8, 2007. Last Friday
March 8 I did not celebrate the occasion. Five years ago, I lead my first small group meeting. Today I am in a good rare situation, I do not have a home church, not a small group, but I have you and this email that was fruit of that calling and I know in my heart that God is not through with me yet. I am waiting for assignment and I have confidence, I am next! But Friday I thought, "What is the point of remembering if nobody else remembers?". But the day the Lord calls us, whether for a small action, a long one or a short one, whether alone or with others, we should always remember such day with Thanksgiving and celebrate it. We aught to always remember the goodness of God. Every action whether we understand it or not is meaningful in our preparation to serve Him better. "for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable" says the bible. The enemy will always focus on the things we have not, he will remind us of the bitter moments in ministry. But if we remain in Christ, His holy spirit will soon remove that blindfold and we will rejoice in our circumstances, we will press on and not look back. Can't tell you how much I am growing through the circumstances and how many new people I am meeting by visiting other churches. The class I am taking about NT: the book of Acts, I feel like I am walking each chapter every single day since I have been praying for a new church. It is not just a church building and a new pastor, it is more than that. It is about a collective(church community) eternal kingdom perspective, about living a courageous life for Christ. Celebrate the day the Lord called you to ministry and honor His goodness. I am, "Thank you Lord for such beautiful life changing opportunity!". See more pictures here


(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5:11-21
The Ministry of Reconciliation  
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. 13 If we are "out of our mind," as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
