By Keith Josey, Lay Pastor, Mission of the Holy Spirit
As we move forward in 2014, snow and ice are not the only challenges we
face at the Mission of the Holy Spirit. Over the past three years, we
have had to make hard choices regarding how we meet the needs of the
people we serve due to tough economic times. Thank you to all of our
partners! It is because of your giving that we continue to offer quality
programs for children, adolescents and adults.
As we look across
the landscape of the communities served by this ministry, we see the
value of our presence and the work that God has called us to do.
Shattered pieces of broken lives are being made whole again at the
Mission of the Holy Spirit. Our journey to heal the hurts
that bind requires your prayers and support. As we strive to serve God's
people, many lives are being changed. At the Mission of the Holy Spirit
we are working to empower families in a variety of ways, but it is
through partnerships with you that we are able to continue to provide
life-changing experiences to the people we serve.
One example of
such an experience was in January when youth from Convocation 3 and
eleven of our members went on a ski trip. This adventure not only
provided a fun outlet, but it also opened hearts and created new
relationships that will last a lifetime.
Each day, there
are opportunities for growth and ministry that surround us, and I invite
you to seek out ways to strengthen your relationship with the Mission
of the Holy Spirit by giving your time and/or resources to a powerful
ministry that is uplifting so many lives.
