Greetings from Castle Rock

April 10, 2010 John John's Journey 0

Greetings on this Saturday from the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado!

My move last weekend puts me one step closer to my commitment to join staff with Engineering Ministries International by July 1. Praise God for providing this place to live until I move to Colorado Springs in June! James, one of my friends and former coworkers, recently started a job in Lakewood, which resulted in him vacating his apartment in Castle Rock. Since he still had time remaining on his lease, I offered to take his place so that I could be closer to both my company’s office and Colorado Springs. I plan on taking advantage of my short time based in Castle Rock to visit churches in Colorado Springs, as well as to volunteer weekly at EMI’s office.

I am also reaching a point of urgency to raise the necessary financial support that remains. EMI requires that all full-time staff engineers raise support because they donate professional design services to ministries. Therefore, my cost of living and ministry expenses are funded by donations to EMI. In order to begin full-time at EMI by July 1, I need 90% monthly funding confirmed. I appreciate so many of you who are already considering partnership or who have become a part of my support team! If you are still prayerfully considering monthly contributions, I would love to answer any questions you have. Please reply to this message or contact me at 303-900-2433. As support-raising time is becoming critical, please consider monthly financial partnership and pray with me that God would provide the remaining 60% in support. If you would like to begin contributing online, visit https://emisecure.org/donate.html and include “Agee 2109” as the designation. You can find other ways to give, including EFT (electronic funds transfer), at http://emiworld.org/donate_staff.php

For those of you in the Denver area, I will be sharing about my recent time in Haiti and plans to join staff with EMI on Saturday, April 24 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Grace Fellowship of Lakewood: 9210 W 2nd Avenue in Lakewood. Invite your friends and plan to join me as I share pictures and stories from Haiti, as well as details about my upcoming transition to full-time ministry with EMI.

Praising the LORD, who provides for the needy and daily bears us up,
John
Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
   lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the LORD;
   exult before him!
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
   is God in his holy habitation.
Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad;
   you restored your inheritance as it languished;
your flock found a dwelling in it;
   in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.
Blessed be the Lord,
   who daily bears us up;
   God is our salvation.
(Psalm 68:4-5,9-10,19)
