Tomorrow will conclude about 4 weeks here at Intracoastal Outreach. Todd and I are so excited about this that we are headed to a collegiate conference to recruit for summer staff. hahaha:)
My vision for the next years while I serve and minister in Myrtle has been this: To empower, excite, and equip local churches to do the Great Commission through the Great Commandment.
Yes, it is easy to go and teach, baptize, disciple, and always remember that the Lord is with us wherever we go. But how hard is it do those things in and with love? People are the essence for which we do ministry both in and out of the local church. If we don't love people, we can never fully do ministry effectively, so the question I ask myself is do I love people.
"Hear O Israel the Lord are God is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." Sounds easy but man is it hard! To love God means to love Him with EVERYTHING!
just thinking...

From the Newsletter
Greetings Beloved!
I'm sitting on 4th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach, SC, just to the left of the First Baptist Church of Myrtle Beach all cozy and feeling great. Today was the first big day of my new position here and an affirming goodbye to class and textbooks for atleast two full years. I am still unpacking and of course getting acquainted to all the new information, numbers, files, and operating systems that keep Intracoastal Outreach in order. We had our first ICO staff meeting this morning, lunch at the christian chicken, errands, and then back for a full afternoon of getting adjusted and doing some things around the office. So life is as the slogan goes "Life is Good".
This past weekend was a blessing to be with my girl and my parents as we ate, watched football (great win USC Gamecocks), shopped, flea-marketed, and played board/card games. Pray for Kate as she endures another semester at seminary and 4 hours away from me! I am looking forward to traveling as the position will have me away probably a dozen times this year. Maybe I can catch up on some of the books i got for a really good deal at lifeway and never got to reading. Forget the resolutions this New Year, I am going to continue to worship God in everything I do (i.e. 1 Corinthians 10:31).
Well just a little blip about me and how i'm doing after the kamikaze last couple of weeks of exams, graduating, christmas, moving, new years, and the start of my first ever full-time position in ministry. Keep posted weekly on my blog. For those with my ICO cell number, please call it during the hours of 8AM-9PM as I am on an unlimited minute SunCom plan with it.
May this year be a year for you to WORSHIP in Spirit and in Truth at ALL times. Just because I am out of the classroom does not mean take me off your prayer list. Keep praying for me and the opportunities to worship the Creator here in Myrtle. Everytime your feet hit sand, lift up a prayer for me PLEASE,
