An Open Door...

Greetings fellow friends in Christ

ELLIS ROBINS PREFECTS TRAINING

TEAMWORK

 [Colossians 4:3-6] says that   ² Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. ³ And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. ⁴ Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. ⁵ Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. ⁶ Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Its with great joy and humility I write to you. The Lord has been faithful to us as a ministry since the beginning of 2012. We have grown in our service over the past 10 months  in the vineyard of the Lord. With much joy we say praise be to God!!!! who has lavished his strength and grace upon us through it all.

COMMUNICATION

The sum total of all we have been through have drawn us deeper and closer in our relationship and hearing from the Lord. God has faithfully provided for us at our every point of need. And today we testify of God's goodness both in our personal lives and in our ministry as a whole.

God was preparing us for something new through our experiences. We kept on trusting him to usher us into new territory and partnerships. As we prayed and waited upon the Lord he encouraged us from (Isaiah 40v28-31)

²⁸ Do you not know?
   Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
   the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
   and his understanding no one can fathom.
²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
   and increases the power of the weak.
³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
   and young men stumble and fall;
³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
   will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
   they will run and not grow weary,
   they will walk and not be faint. ,

TEAM BUILDING

On the 10th of October we received a gift for the ministry from one of our long term ministry partners. In the same week again God brought our new ministry partners James and Prim. We partnered with them for a prefects training at Ellis Robins School from the 12-14 of October. God entrusted us with 21 prefects to minister love, leadership and teamwork to. It was an amazing and humbling experience! 

Thank you Lord for your loving kindness and faithfulness to those who abide and wait upon you Oh Lord!

Next up on the 20th of October 2012 is the BOC-YP Schools Conference. Its aimed at ministering and encouraging the exam writing students in Dzivarasekwa. we are excited about this movement and we praying for spirit led partners and wisdom to see the project kick off well for the Glory of God.

Indeed we serve a mighty and able God who ushers us into new territory for his supremacy when we abide and wait upon Him!

Strength to you all
