We are turning over the page on 2024 and beginning a new chapter for the new calendar year. Psalms 139:16b says “And in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.” (NASB). It is a comforting thought to know that the Father sees the end from the beginning. He also speaks of the goods works He has prepared in advance for us to do. We want our relationship with those we support to continue to be alive and grow, since we know our source is the eternal creator himself. We want to communicate exciting news to our church family in more easily experienced platforms. And we want to become better corporately at loving our neighbors whether they are 30 feet away mailbox to mailbox or on the other side of the world.
Therefore, as the mission’s team at church alive begins to plan for the new year, we are excited to take part in this newsletter you are reading now. We have much news periodically to share on our partners and missionaries’ experiences; both locally, nationally, & around the world. It is exciting to see the Master build the house, as we focus on eliminating the foundation of Jesus Christ. Below are the
initiatives we are working on for 2025.
Church Alive Initiatives for 2025
Church Alive Mission Website:
LIVE SOON!!! Chris Senty has done an amazing job of creating an awesome resource for each of the ministries we support (see HERE). Our goal is to update this information as often as we can. Please note, some of our missions communicate new information often, while others are more remote. Please give us grace, but you are welcome to reach out if you wish to receive more information on anyone, specifically. Chris I can’t thank you enough for the work done on the newsletter and website.
Missions Trips
We are planning on 1-2 and are working now to gather information for these trips. If you are interested or feeling led to join us this year, please communicate to a member of the team as soon as possible, so we can provide important planning info, etc. We will announce dates and destinations as soon as possible. I also encourage prayer for these trips and their success.
Prayer Focus
It has long been a vision of mine to use strategic warfare intercession for our missions’ partners. I am working with all of them to communicate urgent / special needs as often as they are comfortable. I hope to have that information divided and given to our prayer warriors who pray at home and during our weekly get-togethers. We will also use some social communication for urgent requests (WhatsAPP, etc.). If you are interested in being added to these, please contact a team member.
I will announce further details in next month’s letter. I appreciate our church family and their interest. Please continue to pray and reach out if you have any interests or questions.
