The Beauty of Team

We had the joy of hearing Pastor David share his thoughts about 42 families receiving Jesus a couple of weeks ago in a Zoom call. I asked him to look back over the past several months and share what he is learning as a leader, pastor and soul winner. His response touched me deeply. He said, “I am learning that this work is not a ‘one man show.’ It is a step-by-step process, orchestrated by God. I am aware of the value of many teams and helpers in the process, as never before. This is both joyful and humbling.”

For Jim and me, fulfilling our small role in Jesus’ great commission is the passion of our lives, what fuels us each and every day.

David’s powerful insights continue to stir my heart. I think of the Trinity being a team, existing in mutual unity, love and purpose. I think of those serving on teams at House of Glory. They might be cooking or distributing food, preaching, overseeing a well supplying abundant and clean water, playing soccer with poor neighborhood boys, playing music or creating dramatic productions which demonstrate Biblical truths. I think of you, dear Firefall team member, and how you have continued to pray and invest as the Holy Spirit leads. 

As we contemplate the challenges that come with multiplication, it is the joy of the harvest that refreshes, along with the confidence that the One who has called us as a team will continue to guide us, sustain us and accomplish His perfect plan. Thank you once again for your part in this amazing journey of faith. 

Because you prayed, Pastor David and his family recovered from serious bouts of COVID.

Because you invested in thousands of evangelistic Bibles, many are reading and discussing these concepts right now.

We could go on and on. Suffice it to say, your role in Team Firefall is treasured and appreciated!
