Stepping into Clear Air

“I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.”

2 Timothy 1:3

Working in ministry together means that we always need to be grounded in the One who brought us here in the first place. It’s very easy for us to get consumed with e-mails and phone calls indoors, and so today we deliberately went out, into God’s nature, and spent time with our King. Together.

It was really healthy to get outside—to experience the clear air in order to, in a sense, “clear the air.” The thing is, as much as it is a joy and blessing to work together, it’s still an adjustment. We’ve been used to spending at least 8 hours per day apart from each other. Being together 24/7 takes extra-special care in our use of words, our reactions to frustrations, and in learning how to carefully encourage one another.

So we got to confess to one another, to pray for one another, and to worship the Lord beside a brook. We also started working our way through our “Supporter Prayer-Request Notebook.” Yes, we’ve got you all written down in a book with specific prayer requests next to each name, and just as we committed to you in our meetings, we are praying for you. If we have not yet gotten a chance to call you or contact you about specific needs, please feel free to leave a comment or send us an email so that we may lift you up in prayer sooner.

Thank you all for being a part of this ministry—a vital part of the work the Lord is doing in us, through us, and for us.
