Segaar-King July Update

Dear Friends and Family:

One of the stories that has resonated with us over the last year is the story of Moses’ discussion with God as the people of Israel were leaving Mt. Sinai (Ex 33). At issue was whether the Lord would accompany the people after they had just provoked him by worshipping an idol. Moses implores, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me.” After Moses’ heart-felt pleas, the Lord responds, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” There is nothing we need more in the work of mission than the presence of God and God’s rest. Please pray that we will experience God’s presence and rest as we move forward in faith!

Please pray for:

1.       Implementation of recommendations coming out of all our evaluations. We passionately want to be a nimble mission organization that can respond to the changing context of ministry.

2.       Spiritual resilience for missionaries, church planters, campus ministers and community chaplains that partner with Resonate.  This continues to be a time of trail and testing for many of our Gospel workers.

3.       Planning for this fall’s ministry activities. Pray that we would be receptive to the Spirit’s direction.

4.       Resonate continues in its season of evaluation and reflection.  Pray for courage to speak the truth lovingly and move into the future confidently.

Please give thanks for:

1.       A good conclusion to our ministry year. Zach participated in the CRC Campus Ministers’ Conference at Loyola University of Chicago in May (see attached newsletter). It was amazing to see the mission work happening among our young people!

2.       Four nights of spiritual retreat near Atlanta in June. This was a great opportunity for Zach and Sharon to focus on their relationship with each other and God.

3.       Progress made on Resonate’s evaluation process for its church planting, advancement and two-year review.

Thanks for your prayers and support,

Zachary, Sharon, Hannah, Vivian, Isaiah and Esther Segaar-King
