Trusting On Christ

Quiet Moments

"Above all else we desire to know you, Jesus...guide our steps and draw us near."

Hi all,

Things have been happening quickly 'round here with the move and all...I know it's a good thing to keep some of you, our BIGGEST prayer support out there informed to prayer needs, the blessings of those prayers....whether the Lord has shut or opened "doors" here and there it's important to us to keep you up to par....(smiles)

We've been here in Worcester for just over two weeks now and the Lord has paved some new and awesome roads with opportunities. (smiles)

I (josh) have been able to secure a good and fun P/T and very flexible  job! It 's working with a good friend and mentore from whom I'd worked with in my teen years!....(seems sooo long ago LOL)  Mike Cave...his business is restoring old church buildings and religeous structures! It's awsome work and ministry to the heart of some folks' obsession to the "items" of god.

Any way....Mell and I are pleased to have been asked to come back to help staff the day camp in Uxbridge Ma.. With Walking In light Mission out of Worcester.

It is the week of July 27th through the 31st.....pray with us that the light of Jesus' love and grace be all over the place as these children are loved throughout the week and learn and are discipled in the ways of Christ....

Another praise report...(DOORS ARE OPENING....how exciting!)

We will be joining to crew at YWAM-Boston this fall and taking part in the School Of Evangelism...it's a bit "un-orthadox" compared to YWAM U of N standards but it's right up our "alley" with local outreach and local churches' direct involvment...with out the locals it s not possible..  ( www.ywamboston.org ) YWAM-Boston's "base" is actually located in Newton, MA about a 40 min drive from worcester or 1 hour by train.

At the very persistent and blessed recomendations....we finally had the chance to visit a church this morning in the heart of Down Town worcester.

It's a recent mission, The Dream Center,..( http://74.54.211.86/dream/ ).and part of Liberty Assembly ( www.libertychurches.org ) of Shrewsbury MA and the Lord is moving and abundantly....from really fired up youth programs and outreaches to Celebrate Discovery to a newly esstablished Private Christian Foster Agency!!! Performing Arts ministry and school ...Right Up our Alley.....We are meeting with the Outreach Pastor at the worcester campus some time in the next couple of weeks..and the "funny" thing is....he 's my former youth pastor (ha ..LOL.. God does have a reason for some relationships ..aye!..I mean this is a good relationship..) He (pastor Bob Stone) is very excited that we with YWAM-Boston are interested in investing here in Worc. ....pray that we can connect with the heart plan of our Heavenly Father as alll this comes "new". 

.....we've shared some of what the LivingAlternatives' Building-Blocks through YWAM and the program  "Keeps" as well, and there is considerable interest ...good possibilities (that Liberty and others have been praying for) (www.livalt.org ) 

Continued prays for our housing "crutch," It seems though that the Lord is leading us to blend our family with my (josh) folks;' I think it'll help us all out with finances and besides...we do desire to settle down ...with all the forclosures around here...it's very possible to buy cheap! ....you never know.... Right now  the plan is to expand the limited space! I am finishing off the basement with another bath and three bedrooms ! I expect to have it finished by September,

We expect to be in the Greenland/ Portsmouth New Hampshire area in August...yet a place to stay is the "key" we have many many supporters in that area that we desire to see...so yeah.....we will be up to see what's "brewing" at the BethanyCafe ( www.Bethanychurch.com ).......(smile)
