Ministry Updates

¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things, which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things, which are before, ¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.  Philippians 3:13-15 KJV

Dear Friends in Christ Jesus, grace to you and peace from God our father and our Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to God for your life and testimony. May your heart take courage today! God is faithful and He is excited about you. Blessings to you and your family, and to the work that God has set before you!

Well, we just completed the 1^st quarter of this New Year. Moreover, what a journey it has been! I can truly say that God has been very faithful to me and to those around me. It is not difficult to encounter people with so many needs. To the degree that our world is changing, the needs of the people triples. Although the needs are for physical things, yet it goes beyond that – they need an encounter with Jesus, maintaining a personal relationship with him. Of course, the year started with lots of demands, requests, meetings, appointments, etc. Not much has changed from last year. Still learning just where and what to say ‘NO’ to and feeling that was the right decision / answer. Every day is filled with many challenges, encounters and opportunities for Jesus to live His life through us; for we are not our own, we belong to God; therefore we must live our in such a way that glorifies Him! Not to mention that our personal walk is cultivated daily!

As you can imagine and as a disciple of Jesus, life is non-stop and the changes / growth are constant. That being said, one could be busy 24/7 and still have plenty to do. Praise God for his steadfast love and goodness to us. We have so many opportunities to reach out and love people. I am always excited when the Lord gives me DAs – Divine Appointments. Incredible to say the least.

Currently, I have been pretty much ‘full throttle’ for quite a while now. Cannot seem to find the rest area! Since the beginning of the year, I have been doing chaplaincy work part-time for four different companies here in our area. As well as discipleship, meeting up with people, both locally and nationally: Most of the time we meet in person, and sometimes via FaceTime or a phone call. Nonetheless, the needs are many: most of the time, people just need someone to listen to them, or to share a meal. We still need to care for people and of course, to be available to share the love and life of Christ.

In late January, I was able to move out of my camper, (the RV Park) where I had stayed for nine months, into a house here in College Station. God is faithful! This is a three bedroom home. I have a brother that moved from Boston, MA to live with me and to be a part of the house church family. We have one room that is still available for a young man to move to College Station, to be a part of what God is doing in our midst! Feel free to give me a call if you have someone that might be a good fit! With questions, dates, location, etc.

We, the Jesus Gathering Family, just finished up for two and a half days of worshipping God, loving Jesus and loving His people. The Jesus Gathering – Google it! There are regional gathering throughout the year! Come and be a part of this amazing gathering. I had the privilege of hosting seven guys in my home, from six different states. What an honor! The fellowship / community was amazing and non-stop. The friendships that are formed and the bonding that took place with people from many parts of the country. Fellowship, friendships, food and family!

While our State Capitol is in session, we, the Jesus Gathering from College Station, have been invited, (which is also open to the public), to come and pray at the State Capitol the last Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm until 8pm. This involves a time of worship and prayer as we stand in the gap for our state and nation: What an amazing opportunity that has been set before us: to pray on the State of Texas property, pray for the elected officials, for our city, our state and country! Three other churches are covering the other weeks of the month. I have never known this to ever take place in part of our country; Glory to God forever more! Many of the staff members encourage us to come every week. Feel free to call me if you would like more information.

As the journey continues, I would greatly appreciate your prayers. I believe in God for breakthroughs in every area of my life, physically, spiritually and financially: for wisdom, to navigate in this new season, open doors, great grace and peace; and of course His presence. So that I might know Him better and make Him known like never before.

Thank you for taking the time to read this update! Blessing to you and your family, and all that the Lord has entrusted to you. I pray that you be faithful in all the will of God! Until He comes, let us work the field! In Jesus name.
