TODAY

Today, our team will be taking the Student Training Corps (STC) from Word of Life camps. We did this last week, and will be doing so for the next three weeks. Unfortunately we do not take STC to New York City, however, we have plenty of ministry here in Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga, and Lake George. It requires a lot of traveling, but it's so worth it, for these teens to experience the joy of sharing their faith with someone. That opportunity is absolutely priceless! 

Please Pray: Pray that in these few areas we have, that there would be many hearts that are open to the Gospel. Pray that our team would stay united and loving towards one another. Pray that I would know how to raise more support, I'm at a loss, and I'm under quota. 

Thank you for reading this, and for praying for our ministry and team. 

THE GOAL

The goal, is not what I do, it's who I am.

I gleaned quite a bit of wisdom from a lot of people over these past two weeks. I am taking what I thought was most important.

Sam Frey: The goal, is not what I do, it's who I am. Jesus, is calling me to be faithful. I NEED to grow into Him, and be as close to Him as possible all the time. Read, study, and pray. Grace walk = how Jesus is working out my salvation. Grace work = how I show my thankfulness. Jesus is sick of being number one in my life, He needs to be the whole kit and caboodle.

Beth Moore: Sometimes I don't feel saved! It doesn't mean I'm not. I know I have a boyfriend, because we talk everyday, I have letters from him that I read when I miss him. I should know that I am saved, by my personal relationship with God.

Veejay: Jesus endured going to the cross for us, because He wasn't looking at the cross, He was looking at the joy of our salvation, and of going to see God. When I go through spiritual discipline, I need to look at the joy of Jesus, and of my salvation. Spiritual discipline ensures in my mind that I am a child of God, and that He isn't done working in my life, and therefore, should be embraced with great joy!

 I am so thankful for how God has used these few people to share such wise words with me. 

That encourage me to love Him more!
