Servants Unite Spins Up and Team 7 ready to hit the road

We had a great meeting last Thursday night. Sixteen people have committed to make Servants Unite a long-term personal ministry. Also, New Life Church from Gahanna is sending 11 people on the next trip and wants to continue to support Servants Unite with volunteers and funding so I'm very happy to welcome that congregation to our effort. If you've been involved in this effort so far, please get with your church leadership about working with this effort. For more information about the vision for Servants Unite and where you and your church fit in, visit the updated info at www.servantsunite.org.

Some of you are better at praying for others than, frankly, I am. For those of you, please include us in your prayers. I am so thankful for God putting these people together! Here is my current list of those working to build this organization.

If I've missed you, or you want to add your name, please send me an email. There have been many people who have been involved in the trips so far that I haven't had a lot of contact with and I want to encourage you to continue to help us build Servants Unite. Actually there's a few Spring Road people I'm kinda expecting, but just haven't had a chance to talk with yet ;-)

This is a pretty large group from Columbus, Dayton, and Huntington, WV. Thanks to those who have been praying to the lord of the harvest for the workers are responding to his call!

Lord we pray for those working, cleaning, building, and sacrificing their time in Your name. We're thankful for their servant hearts and ask you to bless their efforts and every life they touch. We also thank you for all those who have supported us financially and behind the scenes; may you bless them for their generosity of spirit. Please keep all safe, swift, and strong and help us to always look to You for direction and with praise. In Jesus name we pray these things. Amen!
