Change is in the air.
Summer has come and gone.
This summer, God helped each one of us to see – sometimes making us painfully aware – of just how much “ME” was still in each one of us. God has guided us, directed us, worked us and molded us, and sometimes lovingly dragged us kicking and screaming on down that dusty road - until He got us to the place where we were empty of ourselves. It was at this place we began to realize that “ME” is not our source.
God does not desire another group of people playing ministry. He wants us so humble and empty of ourselves that we won’t get in His way. He wants us to have a servant’s heart full of love and compassion for others. He wants us open to His love and truth, trusting Him in all things and for all things…even when it doesn’t make sense to us.
So, as our summer journey down the dusty road ends this season of our lives, we have found that another journey has begun…the journey of walking out all that we learned this summer. It’s about becoming the ministry that God created us to be. We will always be Evergreen…but Evergreen will not be the same. We are currently working with God to create and develop new ways to share more of His love and truth... “to grow the families of tomorrow.”
As our ministry verse says… “Blessed are we who trust in the LORD, whose confidence is in HIM. We will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. We will not fear when heat comes; our leaves are always green. We will have no worries in a year of drought and never fail to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7, 8 (our paraphrase)
