PRAY: 

Pray for the salvation and life transformation of all those with whom we are sharing the love and Gospel of Jesus with.
Pray that God will guide our every step and use us to see many movements of people to Jesus and into the Kingdom of God. 
Pray that God will heal and bless our Indian children and guide them for His glory and their good in all things, especially regarding the opportunity to study at LCC.
Pray that God will give us opportunities daily to share His love and light with anyone we come in contact with.  Pray that He will open the doors that He wants us to walk through and close those He doesn’t want us to walk through. 

GO (Serving Opportunity):
  A) What we are doing is something anyone can do in their own lives.  We are building relationships among the diaspora population in our community as well as with our neighbors where we currently live and sharing life and the love of Jesus with them.
B) We would be glad to lead anyone in the church interested in the “Who is My Neighbor” resource that we are creating with TMS GLOBAL.  Each part is an 8-week study with a video and a DBS.  We can lead groups through Part 1 as well as Part 2 when it is ready to be piloted this summer.
C) We would also gladly discuss ways that the church can live missionally in their own neighborhoods.  We are willing to come alongside anyone who is interested in partnering with God on His mission right where they live, work, learn and play.

a. Friday Night Life Sponsors Needed in 2021
Good Works has been providing a dinner to adults and children who struggle with food insecurity, hunger and homelessness every Friday Night for 28 years.  We are committed to providing a hot and nutritious meal every Friday Night in 2021.

But we need small groups to sponsor the meal.

Right now, we are asking for sponsors to commit to sponsoring one Friday in 2021 and prepare around 60 meals 

During January 2021, we are handing out these meals to those who come to The Plains UMC between 4:30 and 5:30 pm. In February, it is our hope that we can begin to sit-down inside again. In April, we will return to outdoor, picnic style meals on the Good Works Luhrig Road Property.

If you can organize a small group of people to provide one Friday Night meal this year for 60 people,  please contact us by replying to this email (email@good-works,net)  or call Darlene at 740.594.3339 to schedule a date and receive more information. Meals would be prepared off site and are brought to The Plains UMC at 4:00 pm on the Friday you commit to.

Sponsors have the option of dropping off the food at 4:00 pm or staying  to serve with us. 

b. Week of Service; We invite you to pass the word about our need for volunteers, and of the open weeks of service we have at Good Works for small groups to come and stay with us and serve with us this summer. We are especially looking for small groups who are willing to come to Athens and work alongside us as we construct our new shelter we call Sign of HOPE.  

For more information on Sign of HOPE, click here:  https://good-works.net/sign-of-hope/

On a typical year, we welcome 25 to 35 different weekend or week-long service groups. 2020 was not typical and 2021 is turning into an unusual year too. We had a few of our scheduled summer volunteer groups cancel so we have several open weeks.  A group can come for a whole week or a partial week. We do provide accommodations.  If you would like more information reply to this email and/or call Paul Richard at 740.594.3336. Paul is overseeing the volunteers and the construction this summer. 

The open weeks are:

June 27 to July 3

July 11 to July 17

July 18 to July 24

July 25 to July 31

August 1 to August 7

Typically, groups arrive on Sunday night, stay in the Good Works Hannah House, provide and prepare their own food and work with us during the week. We are willing to talk through adjustments to this. 

Earlier this spring, we had six of the seven weeks scheduled, but we have had some last-minute cancellations as recently as last week. This has provided quite a challenge for us because it is a little late in the season to schedule new groups. So, we are reaching out to see if you know of a small group (even 2 to 5 people) who would find JOY in coming and serving with us this summer.

PRAY: 

I would love prayers for my health. I am about a year into Lyme treatment and mold detox. I would say that I feel about 60% better, which is wonderful and great progress! Please pray that I would continue to respond well to treatment and be at 100% by this time next year. I would also love prayer for preparing and planning for the next school year. God has been faithful during a year of many unknowns and not being able to meet with students face-to-face. While I am so thankful for Zoom, my team and I are eager to be back on campus in the fall. Please be praying for us as we plan for the next year. 

GO (Serving Opportunity):

I know there is a distance between Marysville and Cleveland so I’m not sure of what hands out experiences there might be. We do often have Spring Break trips in Cleveland where we could explore what it might look like for volunteers to join that week, if a desire is there! I think the biggest way to partner would be in connecting graduating high school seniors to Cru movements around Ohio. I would love to be able to connect with with high school seniors who are interested in hearing more about Cru, whether that is in Cleveland or connecting them to other staff I know.

PRAY: 

a. Our girls’ schooling – We’ve been homeschooling this year, even though the school building was open (neither we nor our girls believed they could handle masks and distancing all day every day).  Katie is almost 11 (April 18th) and will be in 6th grade next year, while Emily is almost 8 (April 22nd) and will be in 3rd grade.  (Some particularities about Katie are also a reason we’re not sure it’s best to send her into 6th grade at a public school.)  We’ve begun looking at a co-op, so if we homeschool next year (which is very likely), then it’s also likely we’ll do the co-op one or two days-a-week.

b. Time balance of life and work – This could potentially always be a prayer request, especially with the girls at home.

c. Fruitful sabbatical – As mentioned above, our summer assignment is for a sabbatical, and what’s mentioned in our “Summer Goals” would be our prayer requests for it.

d. God’s provision financially and in every other way – As is one point of this application, we are pursuing more financial partnerships in order to be in a better position to do what God has called us to.

We have currently a number of practical life realities (house necessities and vehicle maintenance, for example), as well as our ongoing theological and ministry development (Mike with seminary classes and Amy with business analyst training opportunities), just to name a few things.

But provisions we’re asking for also include wisdom and discernment in parenting, our ministry work, and the aforementioned time balance.

GO (Serving Opportunity):

If there are people in the congregation who are interested, we could work to put them in touch with one or more of the many Cru campus movements in and around central Ohio.
