This Spring Break we are going to the Navajo Reservation down by Shiprock, NM!!! We will be working with Don & Lynn Cartwright, who are missionaries to the Native American people.

Many Waters Mission is a ministry to the American Indians, located on the border of the Navajo Indian Reservation in the San Juan River valley. Don and Lynn Cartwright are missionaries assisted by their family and many others in bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They have been working here since 1979 and provide food for the hungry, clothing, building materials, Bibles, and training in the Word of God….

We will also be working with Pastor Herman and his church, Victory Life Church. Victory Life Church is a church that we have adopted and have committed to serve and bless every time we go down to the Navajo Reservation.

For more information see the Navajo Mission Trip Tab above.

Hey everyone,

All you have to do is text “follow” space “_voltage” to 40404.

After you do this you should receive our last 3 updates.

While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.” Luke 21:1-4

We have so freely and richly been given the most precious gift of salvation. Because of this we are rich. Let us invest and give of all our resources here on earth, so that we may bring more into God’s eternal kingdom of which we are already a part of!!

How much are you willing to give?

Mark 1:35-39 “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: ‘Everyone is looking for you!’ Jesus replied, ‘Let us go somewhere else, to nearby villages, so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.’ So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.”

In this section of scripture we see that Jesus sought out the direction from the Father. How much more should we seek out direction for our lives from God! From spending time with the Father and seeking out direction Jesus was given direction for what his next step was and he also was reminded of what his call was. So many times I think we neglect spending time with God and we miss direction and we aren’t reminded of our call.

I believe our lives as witnesses can be much more effective if we live like Jesus did and seek the Father. Like Jesus, when we spend time with God and seek him, we will receive direction from God, and also reminders of why we are here. God deeply loves us, that is why He sent His son Jesus to come and die for our sins, and through this He also has a wonderful plan for our lives and this plan can only be walked out through relationship with God and through direction from God.

To be a “Christian” and do “christian things without a relationship with God is the hardest thing you could ever do. It is from God through prayer that we receive direction, call, and also His heart. Like any relationship changes us, relationship with God changes us, it changes our heart and causes us to care about what He cares about. When we care about what God cares about, doing “christian” things will just be what we do naturally. It will be from the outflow of our hearts, instead of us trying to be “christian” through the gritting of our teeth.

Let us seek the Father! First and foremost God calls us to seek Him and out of the outflow or our relationship with Him we will change the world!

Here is a great blog I read today by David Wilkerson and I think it goes along great with everything we are going to be talking about in this Prayer series at Voltage.  I encourage you to read it.  I agree with everything that is said here.

When we get to know the voice of God we have a guiding light for the rest of our lives here on this earth, leading us into eternity with the Father.
