I don’t know about you, but
when I look back at 2012, all I can say is WOW!
As you know, I took a step of
faith in July to fully follow what God had put on my heart, to put all my
efforts into Go4Him. I knew that it would be hard, but I also knew
that if I did what God called me to do he would supply the ministries needs and
mine. I can say without hesitation that
He has met these needs through your faithful prayers and support.
I knew when I started Go4Him, I would have to carry the
fiduciary responsibility along with my board of directors. I also knew that if I wanted God to bless it,
I would have to be faithful. Matthew
25:23 says, “His master replied, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful in a few things; I
will put you in charge of many things. (Some
versions say “large” things) Come share
in your master’s happiness.”
This year I have done my best to be faithful. A few of the highlights from 2012 were:
·
Monthly financial
support to Girlandie, an orphan in Haiti.
This support allows her to attend school. It pays for all of her education as well as
her food, shelter, clothing and medical expenses.
·
Paid off the Rest4Him Ministries land in Colorado. These funds were designated specifically for
this project.
·
Made the deposit
on the Rest4Him construction project. As a good steward, we have decided to do this
as we can afford it with cash. We will
not go into debt.
·
Supported students
on mission trips to Honduras.
·
Spent time
networking with churches, schools, and other organizations, letting them know
about our mission and how we can help them achieve the great commission
together.
Of course we want to leave
room for God to do amazing things through Go4Him
Ministries in 2013…just a few that are already scheduled:
·
Three missions
trips to Guatemala in which I am organizing and leading. Two are student mission trips and one is a
family mission trip.
·
Run projects on
the upcoming mission trips. This
includes construction, evangelism, working in schools and the local communities.
·
One Haiti trip to
visit and follow up on Girlandie’s care and progress.
·
Fundraising
efforts and coordination in the selling of Guatemalan coffee to the US. We hope to kick this off in February. This will help fund projects undertaken by Go4Him Ministries. Be watching the website for details! www.Go4Him.org.
·
Delivering antimicrobial
shoes to Guatemala, Haiti, and Africa. Shoes
will be purchased by the coffee sales.
·
Fundraise for
Rest4Him. The immediate needs here are:
Water well $3,500, Septic system $3,500, home construction $145,000.
Finally, I would like to express
my thanks for helping me fulfill the vision that God put on my heart. Without YOU, none of this would be
possible. It is humbling to me when I
consider that God would use me, and that you would listen to God and support Go4Him ministry. I know that this is just the beginning…God
has so much more that he wants to do through Go4Him. Please prayerfully
consider continuing your support of this ministry with both your resources and
especially your prayers.
Isaiah 58: 6-9 says, “Is not this the kind of fasting that I
have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice, to set the oppressed free and
break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide
the poor wanderer with shelter-when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not
to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth
like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear: then your righteousness
will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will
answer.”
