Thank you for your prayer support that made these three months of ministry possible. In order to sustain the ongoing work of JEMS South America mission program, please pray that God will provide additional financial partners to meet my support requirements.
The video provides a look at the opportunities and open doors that God has provided for JEMS in South America. It is also an invitation to consider investing yourself in the ministry. We have volunteer programs, (minimum two to three weeks in length), which offer a firsthand look and hands-on experience in service and cross-cultural ministry.
Begin praying today about setting aside some time in January or July 2014 to see what God can do through your life!
The song I selected to accompany the video is entitled, "Oceans" (Where Feet May Fail) by Hillsong United. The lyrics express the challenge of moving out of the shallow end of the Christian life and to trust God in the deep water.
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
This song was our JEMS Argentina Team theme song as we moved into unknown areas: new cities, new people, a different language, uncertain expectations. We came to embrace this song and the God who led us moment by moment.
It's an exciting place to be. Terrifying for some people, I'm sure. But it's a place where one learns to depend even more completely on a God who is trustworthy and unfailing.
Do you have that experience in your Christian life? Do you long to have the heart-pounding, not-sure-what's-gonna-happen-next dependency upon God? I invite you to step out in faith and walk with God on the mission field. Any mission field.
Make an appointment today to speak with your pastor and discover what opportunities await.
The video is available in HD. Please take a moment to adjust the setting to 1080 in the lower right hand corner of the Youtube frame.
