"I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you My power and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth." Exodus 9:16
New stage. New city. New community.
Same identity. Same calling. Same God.
Things not covered (or maybe just want to cover them again):
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to listen to and see just a glimpse of what the Lord has placed on my heart for this year. I cannot say this enough. Your support in this process means the world (not kidding!). It is not just about a financial need, but what you have an opportunity to be a part of. Through your support, you will become part of a testimony to the Lord's faithfulness. You will provide for men, women, and children to be connected into a community that grows and provides them with a foundation for every area of their lives. You will allow me the opportunity, by His grace, to use my gifts and be further developed for ministry this year and in the future. The lives impacted through the Connections Ministry do not merely remain inside the walls of this church--they are sent outside to share what God has done in the streets, homes, grocery stores, playgrounds, and coffee shops of Austin, and eventually around the world! It all starts in this place.
- Another facet of this year that I am ecstatic to be a part of is the Women's Development Program at the Austin Stone. In this program, I will be emersed in the learning and application of Scripture, challenged to to engage deeply in the mission of Christ in all areas of my life, and ultimately be equipped from the inside-out to better serve in ministry this year, and in wherever the Lord leads in the years to come. To know more about this check it out here.
- Lastly, I cannot express how blessed I feel to be surrounded by you, as my community. God is a God of grace. I know He's probably smiling as I attempt to tell you all about what this year is going to entail, when only He knows how He's going to use you to grow me, challenge me, and absolutely blow me away with all that He does.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!" -Ephesians 3:20-21
By His grace alone,
Callie
