“Under Construction” denotes ongoing work, action and activity. Faith requires that kind of response. God desires for us to respond with our lives. For many of us we typically begin the path to believing in God by receiving the head and heart knowledge of His love for us. It then becomes too easy of a routine to see our Christianity as sitting, standing, listening and talking. During 2009 especially, the world will be paying close attention to those among them who profess faith in Christ. First they will observe whether our faith makes a difference in our every day lives. Secondly, they will look to see if there is anyone who cares for the needy, hurting and disenfranchised. One of the great benefits to our short-term missions trips is that our youth begin to see their faith as real, themselves as a valuable contributor to society not only because of what they know but what they do. What is God putting on your heart to do in 2009? What has he given you a passion for? What has he gifted you to do? Goodwill Church and the larger Body of Christ need your contribution to the Kingdom of God and the World. There are many new opportunities on the horizon to seek His purpose for you this year. Take the next step and propose to commit to our one group, one service and one ministry philosophy. Begin by considering assisting in our Food Pantry or with the Angel Food Ministry. Care ministries like Stephen’s Ministry will be kicking off in 2009. Teaching, praying, serving blessings await you and others through you as you step out and respond with action.
