Missions: First Fruit
Dear Family,
Firstly, thank you. Without your prayers, encouragement and financial support I would not be able to follow God’s call on my life, which is to know Him and love Him and from that place of intimacy, serve Him!
I wanted to share with you this wonderful opportunity the Lord has given me in my second year of Ministry School. While I have been here, God has been teaching me about His Servant Heart. The One who created as He spoke, breathed life into the man formed by His Hands, and hung the stars in place is The Greatest Servant known to mankind. He is the God who washes the feet of His disciples, the God who heals the lepers, the God who raises the dead, and He is the God who multiplies bread and fish. All of these things He did with His hands. These are the same Holy Hands that had nails pierced through them to hold Him on the Cross where He paid for our sin. Holy Scriptures tell us in Matthew 20:28, “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” It’s only right that I give Him my hands in service.
It is with great joy that I share that I have been selected to join Jesus School on Missions in March in Phoenix, Arizona. Here we will proclaim the Gospel, pray for the sick, and serve the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary https://canaaninthedesert.com. Jesus will be glorified. Our school is sending out teams to Iraq, The Philippines, Germany, The United States (Arizona, California, Texas, Georgia) and teams will also stay locally in Orlando, Florida. This will be the very first missions trip the Lord has invited me on; the First Fruit of many. I am so expectant for all that Jesus will do as I co-labour with Him, empowered by the Holy Spirit, in a way I never have before! This is a very holy privilege the Lord has given me and I would like to invite you to partner with Him: His kingdom come, His will be done, on earth, in Arizona, as it is in Heaven.
Please know that every dollar given will be put towards the trip and my time on Missions. The total cost of the trip is $2100 USD which is about $2875 CAD, so far I have received $2489 CAD, which means about $386 CAD is the remaining balance (a little over $282 USD). If you feel led of the Lord to partner you can do so below or at www.jenbyjesus.com/give. Whether you are in the position to give or not, at this time, I ask that you join me in prayer, that the Lord would have His way. God bless you richly!
Thank you to the dear Body of Christ, without you, none of this would be possible.
“Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” Peter asked, “Lord, are You telling this parable to us, or to everyone?” The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.”
