One More Step...

This past week-end we traveled to Reidsville, NC and Mt. Carmel UMC for their Missions Conference.  It was a wonderful experience in which we made many new friends!  We are thankful that Mt. Carmel UMC contacted The Mission Society and requested that someone come.  We pray that the Missions Committee be blessed beyond measure for the labor of love and time as well as their commitment to the fulfillment of the Great Commission!

Dave and I took turns speaking to the Sunday School classes on Sunday morning - the adults and the children/youth areas were set up in two different spaces.  We told stories and shared our hearts - not only for Ghana but for the least - lost - unreached peoples of the world.

We then spoke together to the congregation after Sunday School was finished.

Our fervent prayer is that someone (maybe several someones!) that heard what we said was awakened to their role in this great task...that they will be fearless in the pursuit of the desires of their heart - Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not COMMANDED you to be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God, is with you EVERYWHERE you go!" (emphasis mine)

I pray for all of you that you would be fearless in pursuit of your dreams - the desires of your heart - God is with you.  He said He would be and He is not a man that He could lie...

Joshua 1:5 (NIV)

⁵ No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Much love,

Ellen for the Bartletts
