TouchGlobal Mission
We exist to Develop, Empower and Release the Body of Christ to show His love in times of crisis to multiply healthy churches among all peoples
Giving:
During the Christmas season there is always a focus on giving. Of course we all know that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ—God gave His son to save the world (John 3:16). We also remember that Christ gave his life as a sacrifice for our sins (Romans 5:8). One of our Pastors at Church gave a great sermon this past Sunday that focused on giving less—less P-R-E-S-E-N-T-S but giving more of our P-R-E-S-E-N-C-E.
Let’s look beyond this Christmas season of giving and look at everyday giving. What does it look like to give of ourselves on a daily basis? John the Baptist was called to “make straight the way for the Lord.” John was baptizing people before Jesus came and when Jesus came and was baptized by John, the ministry of the Lord began. At that time, John the Baptist said in John 3:30 “He (Jesus) must become greater; I (John) must become less.” John the Baptist gave up himself so that Jesus would shine brightest.
My prayer is that there will be less of me and more of Jesus in all that I say and do, so that Jesus would shine brightest and others may come to know and love Him!!!
Ministry updates:
This past year TouchGlobal hosted over 700 volunteers in the New Orleans area—that’s over 30,000 volunteer hours and many lives touched for Christ. Hurricane Isaac hit south La. in mid-august just when we thought our “busy” season was over. Then in October, Superstorm Sandy pounded the New Jersey and New York area. TouchGlobal is partnering with several EFCA churches in N.J. and N.Y. to rebuild their churches and homes and now, with the help of church members and volunteers serving in the mission field created by Sandy, to reach their neighborhoods for Christ!
Asking:
As the end of the year approaches and you are considering your end of year donations, will you prayerfully consider partnering with me through EFCA TouchGlobal? I am still under supported by about $1500 per month. Your support will allow me to continue to serve with TouchGlobal to touch lives for Christ!!!
Merry Christ from our family to yours. May you all be blessed this Christmas season and throughout the New Year!!!!
Merry Christmas!!!
