OK, I finally bit the bullet and decided to start a blog. Not sure how often I'll write, but I promise it will be more often than I've been sending out my ministry prayer letters.
20 Years of Ministry
This month/year marks my 20th year in full-time Christian service. What does that mean? Many would say that as Christians (for those who are, that is), we should all be in full-time Christian service. I basically agree, but how my life has been different is that about 25 years ago, I received a clear calling from the Lord that I was to give my life for ministry. For me, that has meant 20 years of trusting the Lord in faith for my funds. Yep, I've been raising my ministry support for two decades now. It's been hard. Can't say that I love it. Can't say I'm very good at it. But, I can say that it has been a faith-growing, faith-inspiring journey that has taught me a lot. I have see God bless me (and others) over and over again. Someday, I might just have to share a story or two of God's miracles in terms of finances. Maybe YOU have even been a source of one of those blessings in my/our life/lives.
OK, so as to NOT lose readers of my very first log, I'll start a positive precedence and keep my entries fairly short.
Hey, if you haven't already, please check out the One Mission Society website: www.onemissionsociety.org. This is one of the things I'm in charge of at OMS.
Finally, just a quick explanation of the title of this blog...Coke Chat. If you know me at all, you know I love my Diet Coke. Just like many of you enjoy sitting around a table and drinking a coffee, I enjoy my DC. So, grab YOUR favorite drink of choice, sit in front of your computer and let's chat together a little more often.
what? YOU like COKE????? Get out...I have never seen you carrying one very large one around at church...or seen you drop off your family and sneak out to McD's before you actually come to church... :) GOOD job on your new blog!
