Recharge

Ministry is draining. If you don’t believe me, just ask your pastor. This is why we purposefully plan or coordinate with other ministries to give our team a couple of times a year to take a break and travel outside of their villages. The most important of those meetings is the SEND North Annual Conference.

There are several reasons this gathering is so important (besides the legal requirement for a business meeting). Instead of describing those reasons, I invite you to hear directly from a few of our teammates. Please check out this fun two-minute video: https://youtu.be/j8a5mA3jtwg

This gathering is the most expensive event we put together, and it is worth every penny. If you wish to help us cover the extra expenses of the conference, please contact us. You will help make Joe's job easier! (check out the video to understand how.)

Fasting for Favor

Have you ever made a New Year’s resolution only to break it in less than a week? On March 1, 1.8 billion Muslims began their annual fasting month called Ramadan. They are supposed to fast completely—no water or food—during daylight hours from March 1–Mar 29. It begins with much fanfare, promises, and declarations, as fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims believe that faithfully keeping the fast ensures one’s place of favor with God.
