Dear Friends and Family:
Acts 16:5-16 recounts Paul’s missionary journey
through Asia Minor in which the Holy Spirit “blocked” his ministry. Later, Paul received a vision of a man
inviting him to cross over to Macedonia to preach the Gospel. Because of Paul’s obedience the church took
root on another continent. As we reflect
on this story, we are convicted how important it is to see God’s leading in the
roadblocks and the successes. Please
pray that God will make us attentive to where the Holy Spirit is guiding us as
we give leadership to the mission efforts of the Christian Reformed Church.
Please give thanks for:
-Several beneficial days spent in Detroit and Ann Arbor
discussing the direction of Resonate’s church planting, leadership development
and congregational renewal efforts globally.
It is exciting to be part of an organization that is constantly praying
and reflecting about how to be faithful in mission.
-A good start to the school-year for Hannah (as a freshman),
Vivian and Isaiah (sixth-grade) and Esther (third-grade) at Grand Rapids
Christian Schools.
-A great trip that Zach took to Canada in August to spend
time with Resonate’s Canadian staff.
Zach is learning about Resonate’s church planting and campus ministry in
the Canadian context.
Please pray for:
-Our colleagues in Haiti who received a glancing blow from
Hurricane Irma. Resonate Global Mission
has many contacts in Southern Florida where Irma made landfall.
-The Zuiderveens as they serve in Haiti in our absence. We know how difficult this time is for them.
-That we would be a light for Christ in our new neighborhood
in Grand Rapids. We look forward to
making connections with our neighbors and sharing our faith in encouraging
ways.
-Healing for Esther who broke her collar-bone playing with
her older sister. She seems like she is making good progress.
