Calling on you!

Kim and I can't begin to express how important you are to us!

We are now two weeks into our volunteerism campaign and while things seem to be going well and we hear great things from everyone our signups have not been great! we have roughly 80 signups and most of those are for one week a month. So that comes out to around 20 volunteers per week. While that number doesn't seem so bad I am ever reminded that we are launching with two services. We have between 40 - 50 people who have said they plan on making North campus their permanent campus so combined with the 20 volunteers per week that makes about 60 - 70 people per week or 30 - 35 people per service as volunteers. If all of these are serving then that only leaves us with 30 people per service that are not serving and are creating critical mass.

Needless to say The enemy is trying to have a hay day with Kim and myself. We have felt a little discouraged and an overwhelming since of discouragement the past few days. I know that these are an attack of the enemy. I know God has called us here! I know God has called Grace to North Katy! In fact as I was writing this I was writing an entirely different blog but had stopped mid way through for a weekly meeting with Bette and we prayed about some of the logistical concerns and feel that God has shown us how to navigate through them. HE is good!

AS you pray, pray for peace, patience, and faith to continue to overcome any attack from the evil one! Pray that God would rise up the army He wants to fulfill His purposes!

Thank you for standing in prayer with us!

Jeff, Kim, Max, Joshua and Tate

We are back!

We are back from a much needed family vacation. Much needed in the since that we were trying to be proactive. Knowing that the Volunteerism campaign would begin September 15th. we decided to get the family away before the craziness started. God blessed us with the opportunity to take the boys on their first cruise ever. We were able to book one for dirt cheap the week after that Carnival Ship broke down at sea earlier this year. It was good to spend time just the five of us with no phone access or Internet. We enjoyed lots of rest, lots of fun and food and Gods beautiful Creation as well!

Now we are back and indeed the business has begun. we launch in just 3 short months!

As you are praying for our family and ministry please pray for peace, patience, endurance and hundreds of people to be called to help us reach the lost of North Katy!

Thanks

Jeff, Kim, Max, Joshua, Tate
