Starting of My Ministries

Well, here i am again with some new stuff. some good stuff. I have a good friend named Clay who i treat like my little brother. We have had a lot of talks over the months about Christ. Throughout our conversations, we came up with some ideas of growing the kingdom. With this idea, alot of prayer, and many emotional times later, our mission is on its way to start. our new ministry is called, "In God we trust" There is about 6 of us total in it so far. our plan is to meet up at least twice a month and bring 10 or 20 dollars a piece. then we will venture out somewhere in the community and spend the money on someone while sharing the love of Christ with them. Nothing better than meeting someone else's needs while teaching them about God and what is in store for them. If its taking homeless people to a restaurant or buying someones groceries, we are willing to do whatever it takes to just have an opportunity to witness. We dont know what this ministry will look like a year from now but all i know that regardless what obstacles we face, OUR GOD will protect us and give us the plan and insight of the coming engagements. This is one of the most exciting times for me as a young believer. We want to impact the world. This is a small way to do so and possibly could turn into something huge.

       And the other ministry that i am part of is called "Celebrate Recovery" more info at celebraterecovery.com CR is a Christ-centered program to help with hurts, habits, and hang-ups. It includes anything from alcohol, drugs, addictions to food, grieving of loss, pornography, enabling, codependency, control issues, and many many more. i know we arent going to "cure" every issue, but are walking beside you through getting better control of the issue. Its amazing to see life change throughout the community of believers. Me and few others from our church went to a one-day seminar last weekend for CR. Man oh man. how touching this program is. during the seminar, a couple that is a part of the the National CR program, came up on stage and gave their testimony. It moved the crowd. it makes me want to do more and more. here is a video that shows what we are about:

  I feel like im becoming closer and closer to God everyday. before, i couldnt remember scripture even if i wanted to, now im getting better at spouting off verses at an instance. Im reading more and as always im still listening to sermons every chance i get. one scripture has been standing out a lot lately is John 3:30. "He must increase, but I must decrease." its very simple but a lot of powerful meaning behind it. i thank God daily for the new life He has given me. Easter is this Sunday. One of my favorite days. I cant wait to see what Pastor Bobby has in store for us. See you very soon with more awesome things up the road.
