A Promise of Restoration! Jeremiah 33

Prayer is the Key to Restoration!

This is what Jeremiah heard from the Lord: Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know!"

The Lord tells us in vs. 9: "Then this city will bring me renown, joy praise, and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it!"

Prayer: It is such a comfort to know that God already has plans made for the village of San Francisco! The key to knowing His plans is as simple as prayer! When we pray, God will reveal his wondourous plans of these great and unsearchable things! We can't do it on our own!

Restoration: It brings me such joy to know that God will bring health and healing to this village that we love so deeply! He will give them unspeakable joy, abundant peace, and security!

Put On LOVE!

Have you ever thought of what it would mean to actually put on LOVE? 

Colossians 3:13-14 "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues PUT on LOVE, which binds them all together in perfect unity." (NIV)

Jesus requires simply two things of us: Love God, and love others--including those whose ways we don't understand, who may be from a different culture, and even those who have a different religion. When we love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, only then can we find the grace, mercy and wisdom to love the rest of the world. If we wake up every morning and "PUT" on the LOVE of Christ, we will be growing ever closer to the image of love itself in Jesus Christ! The more we love, the more we can be Jesus to a world so full of pain and desperation.

Village Outreach Team 2010!

I am simply amazed that We are beginning to plan a new year of Missions to our little village of San Francisco, Mexico! As so many of our prior team members have said, "I left my heart in San Francisco!" There are so many people that we have grown to love just like family and I can't wait to see them once again!

Thanks to all who came out for our Informational night on Tuesday! It was awesome to see some new faces as well as some familiar faces!

Don't forget that applications are due September 27 and our first meeting is October 6!

Simply Love!
Wendy
