September 2016 – Partner Update

Dear Partners,

Through your gifts you and I together are loving people to life.

Fall is upon us and we thank every one of you who have so faithfully given throughout the summer months. We are preparing for our Bible school Module six in the next few days and then our retreat will be upon us.

Our annual Retreat is the first weekend of December as you know by now, and will be held in the Drury Inn in San Antonio as last year. Our subject is Resting in the Rest of God. The Scripture is filled with references to the rest of God and our privilege of finding our residency in that rest. Fear, anxiety and every form of negativity have no place in the life of the believer – we are called to rest in His rest. In this retreat we shall teach at a most practical level how we live actively at rest in every area of our lives and so live the abundant and joy-peace filled lives described in the New Testament. One of the greatest blessings of the retreat is to spend a weekend with like hearted believers all seeking to know more of the grace of God.

My message this month is talking of that rest as it is illustrated in the heart attitude of Caleb as he stood with Joshua against the entire nation of Israel insisting of finding their identity in God. I believe the meditation will enable you to live in the fullness of God to which you have been called.

Because of the flood earlier this year we have decided to conduct our Sunday services in San Antonio at least until the beginning of the next year. We will be meeting every Sunday at 1:30 pm at the Vineyard church (kindly loaned to us) which is at 7530 Bandera Rd #140 at the intersection of Bandera Road and Eckhert in N.W. San Antonio.  Many who have not ventured out into the hills will be able to fellowship with us – and those of you in San Antonio for business or vacation will find it easier to join us. We look forward to seeing you there.

Thank you for your continued faithfulness in giving. I want you to know how we look at your giving – it is not merely dollars to support an organization. Every dollar that you send is the love of God clothed in finances and wrapped in prayer – the gift of your life joined to the Holy Spirit and sent forth to world.

You and I, along with every other partner do more together than either of us could do alone in our wildest dreams. In your monthly giving you are part of my voice carrying God’s love in Christ in the power of the Spirit to the world.
