As I sat at my desk to tackle a mountain load of work today, I wondered what it was all about. Why all the hard work to mobilize missionaries? Why advocate “hidden peoples”? Why educate through all these courses and training programs? Why disciple students? Why plant churches? And what is it worth? With a sigh I begin to chip away at the mountain. And then my wife tells me that we are in dire financial straits. (as far as this month is concerned). With a sigh I think to myself, “What now? The last thing we should worry about is….”

Ministering on the Campus
It seems our whole lives revolve around Western. We lead a campus ministry there. On another night we are on campus again, this time equipping leaders through a missionary course which we are coordinating. This course has connected us with professors at Western and this Wednesday we will be involved in a luncheon discussing ways to engage in ministry to Muslims.

Reach 2007
is a huge endeavor. While a ways away it is starting to become a big part of my work again. It is a vital conference for the Northwest in terms of missionary mobilization as well as a holiness / renewal emphasis. I cannot stress enough how much something of this calibre is so needed here in the Pacific Northwest. For more info visit: http://reachretreat.org/about.html

Church Planting
And it is getting close to time to making a big announcement. Our status will be changing soon from mission strategists to church planters. This will be a shift in career and will also be a salaried position. We will be gaining invaluable experience as lead church planters of a first multi-ethnic church in Bellingham. Our strengths will be diversity and social activism to name a few. But more on this later.

The Last Thing…
we should be worried about is how to make ends meet. But I take time out from my schedule, a few minutes this Monday to blog about this. Indeed He is our provider, in season and out. We have learned to live with little and with much. But once we start worrying about how we are going to pay the bills this Friday, it starts to become a strain. God we trust in your provision! We are not worried about the little things but the greater things of a lost, broken world! Let the little things, our daily needs, be just as the little birds you provide for moment by moment. In you we rest and lift up our concerns. Thank you. Amen.

Till all are reached.
