Dear Friends and Family:
“But we have this
treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and
not from us.” This declaration in 1
Cor 4:7 is Paul’s reflection on the source of power for his ministry. The point was simply that God’s choice to
work through flawed and fragile human agents (like Paul and us) underscores his
power to change us and the world. In the
last few months we have been learning just how powerful God is in our
weaknesses as we struggle to adapt to our new life and new roles. We appreciate your prayers!
Please give thanks for:
-God’s great blessing on a recent staff retreat for Grand
Rapids (MI) and Burlington (Ontario) staff of Resonate Global Mission. During our retreat we had two goals: building
relationships between each other and listening to the Holy Spirit about what
God is calling Resonate to be. Please
see our blog post for more information.
-The first meeting of Resonate Global Mission’s “Council of
Delegates” governing committee. This committee
takes the place of the former Boards of Christian Reformed Home and World
Missions.
-Our daughter, Esther, has fully healed from her broken
collarbone. Our children seem to be happier in their new schools as the weeks
pass.
Please pray for:
-Wisdom in managing all the responsibilities we are
juggling. In addition to all our other
work, we have begun doing presentations at supporting churches and Zach has
begun visiting donors around the country.
-Safe travel for Zach as he will be going to Canada, New
Jersey, and California in the next six weeks to visit donors and ministries. Zach will participate in the Fanning the Flame mission conference in
New Jersey which will be a gathering of evangelists and church planters.
-Attentiveness to God in shaping an organizational culture
at Resonate Global Mission that is aligned with the Holy Spirit’s leading in
mission.
-Patience for Sharon as she tries to discern God’s leading
in the next ministry to which God is calling her.
Thanks for your prayers and
support,
Zachary, Sharon, Hannah,
Vivian, Isaiah and Esther Segaar-King
Resonate Global Mission (a
ministry of the Christian Reformed Church)
