What an incredible God we serve!
Monday, June 21, 2010
Friends,
Hi, I am in awe of who God is and all that He is capable of and want to share with you some cool highlights from the past few days:
- Today the OCCDA's Harbor Shine ministry (www.harborshine.com) and Mosaic ministry (www.overflowccda.org/mosaic) through partnerships with other organizations in our community, were able to put 23 high school students to work! These students will be led by one of our youth pastors/staff leaders and one of our college interns along with receiving a one-on-one mentor from Overflow. Students will be invested in spiritually, with life skills, and with on-the-job training in lawn care, landscaping, and retail operations.
- It was such a surreal moment for me today to see our leaders working with these students and to watch our interns interacting. We have been blessed to have 4 interns with Overflow and another intern with Harbor Shine. God is truly providing great help and giving us the opportunity to invest in next generation leaders!
- This week one of our partner churches will be coming to Benton Harbro to paint a house, help support our backyard VBS, and will be doing work projects and prayer walks in a local basketball park. God is moving us to the community and into the streets to share Him in some very practical ways!
- Thursday nights each week our Splash Children's Ministry is running a reading program called "Bedtime Stories" at a local emergency shelter. Cindy boldly shared her story and the word last week and a great time of worship happened with one woman giving her life to Christ at the end of the night!
Please keep each of our students this summer in prayer --as I believe that as we pray for them, God will work mightily in their lives. If you would like a list of names to pray over please send me an email requesting the list: bbennett@overflowchurch.org
Have an awesome day!
Brian
