“Good Morning!”, I thought to myself.   My heart was filled with wonder and joy that  morning- sustained by the Wonder of the Gospel, the sunshine and my company. 


I was walking Alyssia to school.  Sometimes we ride our bikes but that day we walked.  We take time, as we walk, and often stop to observe the colors that we see--- the blue sky, pink flowers, a bright red bird.   We also smell the air.... usually fresh from blossoming flowers and fruits.   The best is when she reaches up to hold my hand.  As a Dad that´s  wonderful!

I received a youtube video from a friend just before the walk about the benefits of ...walking.  Many were mentioned! Here are a few: Walking helps you live longer... and better.  It is good for your mental and physical health, and It can foster relationships too!

It is easy to send such a video to friends that show our concern about one’s Physical health.  The queston raised by my friend who sent the video is, “Why don’t we have the courage to send videos that talk about our Spiritual health and the Gospel?”

I had this thought.  Send the video that talks about the benefits of walking to a  non-christian friend.  Then, invite them to go for a walk with you😊.   Show them you care.  BLESS them.  It is part of the  “Go & Sow” of Discipleship.  Whether it is a one time walk or turns into a “Walk” club you will have the opportunity to let your friend know that you care about their Spiritual Health too.  Ask them,  “How do you care for you Spiritual Health?”  Pray for wisdom as you share the Gospel by sharing your story and how Jesus brings health and life to your spirit and soul.   Invite your friend to take a walk with you on the Roman Road😊 (Romans 1:16; 3:23, 6:23; 5:8; 10;9,10).   Take Time to Bless someone today!

A Heavy Week.

Brumadinho Tragedy. It has been a blessing to make the 10 hour road trip to the recently ravaged city of Brumadinho with Pastors Fabio, Enio and Sincler. Our hearts are heavy sharing in the sadness and despair of literally thousands of people waiting for news of the "missing". As Pastor Enio wrote, "It will be a generation marked by this event: sons will grow up without their fathers, fathers have lost their sons, widows cry and grandparents have simply vanished in a moment". May the Lord comfort those who mourn and soften the pain of the suffering.

 

How does the Lord bring comfort to those who mourn and soften the pain of the suffering?  

 

We know that God does do that in a supernatural way through the Holy Spirit.  We also know that God works through His Church as well.  The Colossians were saluted for their Faith, Hope and Love.  I am challenging our congregation to live out their faith to the fullest as we share the compassion of Christ with our brothers and sisters in the City of Belo Horizonte . 

 

We are hosting a concert on the green that will raise money to help with the transportation costs to mobilize the volunteers equipped to help a community manage their post trauma stress as they deal with the disappearances of friends and loved ones and jobs.  Many have lost any vision for a future.  

 

Please Pray:

Pray for a generation that have lost their loved ones. 

Pray that we may all see a rainbow in the sadness, joy in sorrow, as we bring His love to each one we meet.

ReachGlobal Leadership Forum in the Dominican Republic

August 2018

Good Morning.  I woke up at 4:30 am this morning….again!  Now, I am a morning person and 5:00-5:30am is a welcome time for me😊.   My warm,  "Eggs Up Grill" coffee mug in hand, dark outside, mourning doves cuing, a warm light lit over the table, a quiet house and the Word before me….. Love it.

….But 4:30am is somehow not the same!    I can't sleep.  I am thinking of the things I need to get done when I wake up…. But I am awake now.     Now, it could be that my insomnia is caused by my late afternoon double expressos… I am not sure.

But here I am- downstairs 4:30am.    I am preparing for a Day of Prayer that I will be leading in Costa Rica next week for about 120 missionaries serving in Latin America and the Caribbean with EFCA ReachGlobal. 

The Word brings peace to my heart and I begin to savor these moments… Lamentations 3:22-23 come to mind.

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
²³ They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
²⁴ I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him."

²⁵ The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
    to the one who seeks him;
²⁶ it is good to wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.

 

Please Pray:

• I travel Wednesday night for a Leadership Forum in Costa Rica with City Team Leaders serving EFCA ReachGlobal in Latin America. 
• Next week will be our biennial Latin American Conference including all missionaries and families serving in the Region. 
• The Day of prayer will be on Thursday, August 9^th.  Please pray for the Father's Favor as our prayer team and I facilitate this day of prayer.  We are praying for Oneness in Direction as a Region and a brokenness before the Lord that brings Refreshment and Renewal , Healing, Forgiveness and Freedom, Direction and Vision.  
• Alessandra and Alyssia will stay in Rio while I am gone this period of 11 days.  My in-laws will come and stay with them.  Please pray for God's protective hand to cover them.

Delighting in Him,

Craig, Alessandra and Alyssia
