STEPPING UP
This Past Month
One young father, one fire burning within, one life
changed forever!
A young father who has been coming out to floor hockey had
a dramatic mind shift; a radical change spiritually in the way he thinks about
life and God. After coming to know the
Lord he had a desire to help as a volunteer with Stepping Up. His desire is to give back to the other
struggling dads, by sharing his faith and helping them to realize there is a
God who cares for them and their own circumstances.
He wants to do some sort of devotions, separate of our
floor hockey night. He wants to lead these devotions with me sharing the word
of God to these young fathers. He has expressed a desire to see these young
fathers changed through the power of God . He is keen to open his life up to the
other young dads, sharing his challenges and triumphs so the other young dads
won’t make the same mistakes, and to help them gain insight into how to do
things right, the way Christ would want them to live! Really great stuff!
This young dad is so on fire, he has asked that we go
once a week out into the community and talk to young parents on the
streets. He believes God’s power is with
him and he is convinced that God has all the answers for those who are
struggling in our community.
Please continue to Pray for this young father, and our
new dynamic devotions night! May God receive all the glory!
Our Need
We are in need of new monthly donors, would you consider being a
partner. We are in need of 10 more
monthly partners at $100 dollars or 20 more partners at $50 dollars a month. Would you consider giving financially on a
monthly basis, partnering with us in this ministry to young fathers? We know things are tight in these economic
hard times, but for those who can afford to give we would greatfully value your
support.
My prayer is that you would think of
this ministry as a missionary outreach in our community. It actually sometimes feels
like we are in some far off land, ministering to the indiginous people of a
place called Surrey and bringing the gospel of Christ Jesus to people for whom
the message is foreign. Please prayerfully consider being a financial missionary
supporter for Shaina and I. Thank you for your consideration and may you and
your family be blessed as you give.
Dave and Shaina’s Update
Shaina
and I were very busy last month packing up the daycare downstairs. Thank you
for your prayers. We were able to sublet
our basement suite; this will help us greatly in the months ahead taking the
stress off our monthly expenses! We really felt the prayers, thank you! We feel all is not lost in regards to the
daycare dream, we have learned a few things with this endeavour and will be
that much more informed when we find a different space to open the doors to the
daycare.
Liam is so cute;
one night last month the Lord spoke to me through him. Liam sat in his highchair with his eyes wide
open as he sang the song “row, row, row your boat” waiting for his food one
evening at supper! As I watched him singing in his chair that evening I couldn’t
help but hear Christ whispering into my spirit “David you must come to me as a
child, its child like faith that gains you entrance into my kingdom”! It’s
amazing how God speaks to us through our children!
Joah has been
playing spring hockey and has scored a goal each game of the opening
season. He is turning into a really good
hockey player with a real desire to play and play well. I’m so proud of him, he is a special little
boy and has such an amazing call on his life to serve the Lord.
Trust in Him
“Trust my way and
know I’m God” Even though you are scared and your situation seems in a fog. I
ask you to know in faith that My leading is always safe! You must trust, you must
trust, and give it to me. I, your God will let you see!
I know it’s hard
to understand how I care. When you are in uncharted land in despair. But trust you
must, keeping Me close to your side, as a blind man walks with a stick as his
guide.
The blind man knows
his staff will not fail and neither will I says the Lord, with me you will
prevail, you shall overcome and slay your enemies one by one and never ever be
undone!
Trust in me fully
is what I desire, never question me ever, I will never leave you I Am no liar.
Hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit, Trust Him, Trust Him do not depart!
