Now what do we do?

We had a great weekend with the Glory Conference. Praise and worship was very free with banners and dancing, kneeling at the altars or whatever felt right for each individual in attendance. The teachings, given by Rev. Debra Zimmer and Rev. Raymond Graham were great. Rev Graham is from Jamaica and that man is quite a preacher! There was personal ministry for many in attendance with prophecy over Shannon and I. We met several people over the weekend who we believe will eventually have a part in our future ministry. One is a nurse, interested in working with us over there. Having a clinic/dispensary is a part of the ministry's vision. With an on-site nurse we would have a much easier time bringing in medications and getting the children treated quickly for various ailments. We also met someone that is interested in going over there to help us get the farming portion of the ministry established. Also a computer nerd who would love to help however he can. we met many many others who want to be there for us spiritually as they pray us into the mission field and once we are there. We are so excited about the new prospects!

Shannon and I also graduated from bible school on Saturday. Here is a picture of us with Rev. Debra. We both graduated with 4.0 grade point averages as did quite a few of the other 24 graduates.
Shannon was one of the speakers at the ceremony. He talked of how the bible school has not only made us more knowledgeable about the bible but it has also confirmed for us the call God has placed on our lives. We have seen repeatedly in the bible how God uses ordinary men and women-even murderers, thieves and prostitutes-to accomplish His goals. We have spent nearly every evening that we were both home together over the past 12 months watching the videos, testing, filling out worksheets and writing papers that we both hardly know what to do with ourselves in our free time now.

I'm certain we will find something to keep busy.
