Reflection

Vol. 1 Issue 6-July 2013

Dear friends,

How are you doing today? How is God moving in your life lately? I pray that you are developing spiritually as you attend Rootsgroup and that you are inspired to apply God’s principles more and more in your life as you display Him.

It is with joy that I am writing this month’s newsletter to you.  Last month of June was what I simply call the reflection of the year 2013. Most of us probably do not reflect back on the year until December comes around. I like to challenge you this month and encourage you to start reflecting now. Are any of the goals you made being completed? Are you still on course? Or have you slowly fallen back into old ways of life? What are you doing today?

Let’s take a look at my life for instance. Last year in December 2012 I created a vision board for the year 2013. A major point that I wrote was to extend my time in the USA as a full-time missionary at Crossover Church. Now six months later I am actually in the USA as a full-time missionary. Are there any challenges that come with this goal? Yes, such as the fact that I am still awaiting answers from immigration officials to be approved to remain in the USA. Yet, I rejoice and think about the fact that in the meantime of waiting, I am where exactly? I am in America serving at Crossover Church as a full-time missionary. I believe that where God guides, He provides. “If God is for us, then who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31) God is for you and that is all that you should remember. We should all be excited to walk by faith and not by sight. Be intentionally active to know God’s promises for your life.

Be courageous and be bold And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28). Do not let circumstances stop you from reaching your goal. I am inspired to do God’s work, I get excited to share about his faithfulness to His children.

What’s new for the month of July:
-  I am going on a Mission trip with Thru Guidance Ministries in Coushatta, LA. Pray for the community that will take part into the Performing Arts Camp that we are hosting for a week.
