Servant Heart

The Spirit is moving within the Body at Riverside...

Yesterday, Ron Morgan challenged the church to develop more of a servant heart, then I continued the challenge... Our mission is to help those who need it and to make disciples, and I suggested we look for new ways to reach out to our community...

Last night, the Panama mission team presented its report to the Body about its recent trip to Panama... It was so good to relive the trip and report on the incredible one-week journey!

We expressed our deep gratitude to the whole Body... (we are all members of the Panama team - some travel and some support from home!) We made sure everyone had the opportunity to speak (traveling as well as non-traveling team members :-)), and most of our traveling team members had a chance to comment as we watched the 160+ photos on the powerpoint... It was an informal setting which produced great questions and comments, and deepened our committment to this mission effort!

Doyne challenged us all to help feed the El Valle students and to financially support Ezekias as he works with Lynn and Joy to establish the 'Riverside model' in Volcan.... He ended his thoughts by inviting everyone at Riverside to visit Joy and Lynn in Volcan (not all at the same time!), and then he challenged our three wonderful shepherds to travel to Volcan very soon to join in the work there...

Thanks to Joy and Lynn for providing this terrific opportunity to serve His children in Panama!

The Spirit is indeed stirring among the people of Riverside... there seems to be a 'servant movement' among the Body... more news about that as it unfolds...

Blessings!
