well well well, very good friends. it's hard to believe that after not making a post in months that people have responded and quickly i might add!
here's what's happening:
we have all permanently relocated to Springfield, MO. i am living in a loft apartment right off the square in downtown Srpingfield. the apartment i live in is and will be entirely used for minisitry purposes. we are currently remodeling and fixing up our home to make it completely visitor welcoming. we currently have a stage, some lighting, and a sound system that can accomadate for worship services, practices, and concerts. we are working to build a kitchen that is large enough and equipped to feed a multitude of people. the main basis for this "outreach" if you want to call it that, is the feeding ministry. it is a continuance of a feeding ministry already established in Branson, MO.
The Vision
part of our vision is to use this building to be open 24 hours to take in people, feed them, care for them or whatever. we have only been here a few weeks and it's amazing what God has done already. apart from remodeling, discipling, reading God's word, and having praise and worship, we have already began to feed people in the surrounding area. it's awesome! all i can say is that Mama Linda sure knows what she is doing! it is an amazing feeling to provide a meal for someone who would have otherwise been without. when provide a free meal to someone, we say that it's from Jesus. it's amazing to see there reactions. from people coming in off the street to taking bread to the homes of those who have no means of travel...it's awesome. God has started a huge work here, and there is just too much to write about it for now. however, i will keep you updated. i have decided that it is good to write. it's edifying and encouraging one another and there's nothing wrong with that!
