Having begun a New Year, we are so excited for what God
wants to accomplish in and through us in 2013. We cannot say enough how
thankful we are for you being a part of us as we touch the nations from
Mississippi. Truly you are a gift to us.
Here`s what is happening:
JAPANESE SCHOOL IN JACKSON
Samantha, Marcia, and Abigail will be returning to the
Saturday Japanese school after a holiday break. Samantha will continue to
teach. While Marcia and Abigail attend there. The Japanese school year ends in
March and begins in April.
So, pray Marcia and Abigail may finish the year of study
well. And, pray for Samantha, that she may teach well too.
Your prayers and support allow us to connect with the
Japanese community in Jackson in this way. Thank You!
BALLET MAGNIFICAT – JACKSON
This dance school and ministry will open again after a great
holiday season of reaching out. Abigail has shown good progress in her
technique. And, Jacob will be trying out for the post-high school training
program this month. Please pray for him as we take this next step. He continues
to work hard on his NACD program with a goal to getting a GED. Anyway, we are
proud of him and look to see God`s heart instilled in him for Kingdom purpose.
Again, your prayers and support of this ministry are greatly
appreciated and needed. Please pray about your commitment to partnership with
him, and us, as we move forward in 2013.
THE NEW YEAR
January remains an important time in the course of a year.
Many believers use this month to pray, fast, and seek God for strategy for the
coming year or more.
As for Michelle and I, we have been lead to start the year
off with making declarations. In Proverbs 18:21 it says, “Death and life are in
the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” As
we speak words of life into our children, ministry here in MS, and the nations,
God promises a fruitful harvest.
Another challenge we have received involves that of praying
big prayers. As many of you, it remains so easy for us to focus on immediate
life issues and needs. These needs are real and necessary. Yet, God invites us
to ask, seek, and knock believing that He can do the impossible. Psalms 2:8
says, “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the
earth your possession.”
Wow! Now, I see that as a big prayer! Yet, our God is so
big, so strong and so mighty there is nothing our God cannot do. Thank you for
partnering with us this year. We look forward to the best days yet ahead.
