“Mobilizing the Church Through Short-term Missions”
Our faithful friends,
“Blessed be Your
name, in the land that is plentiful, where Your streams of abundance flow,
blessed be Your name.
Blessed be Your name,
when I’m found in the desert place, though I walk through the wilderness,
blessed be Your name.
Every blessing You
pour out, I’ll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in Lord, still I
will say, blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name. Blessed be the
name of the Lord. Blessed be your glorious name.”
Song
by Matt Redman and Beth Redman. “Blessed Be Your Name.” (2012)
This song, sang by Matt Redman, has been
on repeat as we have tried to navigate our lives back to normalcy after
Tiffanie’s dad’s passing, our battle with covid, and a month-long school break
between our quarantine and Christmas break. Despite all the challenges we have faced we can say without
a doubt that God is still GOOD and we will continue to bless His name.
Tiffanie and the kids have enjoyed getting back into a routine of school and
being able to experience the joys of attending church after missing several
weeks. As mentioned in a previous letter, Matt is serving as the transitional
pastor at Hagerstown Bible Church. Our family considers it a great joy to
minister to this church body but yet to also be ministered to!
Matt preached the first two Sundays of January at HBC. During
his scheduled Sundays at HBC he is continuing a message series on God’s Love.
Feel free to check out HBC’s Facebook page for live services on Sunday morning
or to listen to the sermon throughout the week. On the 17th our
family was able to present Churches in Missions to Wakefield Valley Bible
Church, located in beautiful Westminster, Maryland. The
church was very welcoming to our family and expressed interest in joining
future mission trips with CIM. This was exciting to hear! On the 24th
we were scheduled to speak at Paw Paw Bible Church, however they had to cancel
services due to a case of covid. This gave us an opportunity to visit Johnstown
Bible Church in Hedgesville, WV. It was a wonderful service that we were able
to enjoy together as a couple. The 31st became a snow day! It was
nice to enjoy God’s beauty- even with foot of snow. 😊
Several of Matt’s meetings with pastors have had to be postponed due to the
weather this month. Despite the cold and snow, Matt has still been able to
reach out to pastors via phone calls, text messages, and emails. Our prayer is
that these men of God would be encouraged to keep pressing on! Finally, Matt joined
Pastor George, Pastor Philip, and Pastor Philip’s wife Joanna at Independent
Bible Church for an “Ask Anything” panel with their young adults. This great group of young adults asked a
variety of different questions about their faith and how to share Christ. This was an extremely encouraging
evening (see pictures below).
We wanted to express our deepest thanks for the many phone calls, cards, emails, texts, and gifts these past few weeks. In the midst of what should have been a very discouraging time we found that God’s people came through in huge ways. We continue to raise support and get closer to our goal. We would love to have you join our team and be a part of our mission’s family.
