A Day of Prayer!

Spent the biggest part of the morning in study of the Word and prayer. Seeking God's guidance for the future and provision of resources needed to run our ministry. God is good and faithful, and just and he knows what we need when we need it.I have been studying the book of Romans. It's one of my favorite Epistles in the New Testament. Verse 10: 11b says, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.' As defenders we must learn to abide in the word and rejoice in this fact...we will never be put to shame. In other words the things we do in the name of Jesus well only serve to honor God. Wow! That's good stuff

I worked the rest of the day on our new web site. Cornelia and I had originally decided not to do one, but we found a free website page that works for us so we are going-for-it. I will give you the web address as soon as we get it up and running.

Even though we are exclusively NAMB missionaries and work with our partner Tim Cummins of Whirlwind Missions...for identity sake we are calling it The Table Missions. The biblical base for the name comes for the parable of Jesus in the book of Luke Chapter 15:12-23...The Great Banquet.

Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." The Parable of the Great Banquet When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God." Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' "But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' "Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' "Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.' "The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.' 'Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.' "Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.' "

Love you all!
