HOUSTON ARTS TEAM

August 31,2012- July 2013 I will be serving with a program called Mission year. Mission year is an urban ministry program focused on Christian service and discipleship. I will be living and working with a team of people in Houston, TX to serve and create community through the avenue of the arts. The majority of my time I will be serving at St. John's Church in downtown Houston. The program is committed to the command of Jesus to “love God and love people,” by placing the needs of our neighbors first and developing committed disciples of Christ with a heart for the poor. The day by day schedule includes intentional community, professional service, discipleship, neighborhood outreach, church partnership, and education/training.

Pray: for a heart to love God and love people.

Rest.


 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.   For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”  Matthew 11:28-30

Jesus is inviting us to rest in Him, but most
  of the time it seems more convenient to use my own efforts and decline his invitation.  The yoke  doesn't always feel easy or light but I can trust in God's word rather than my own feelings.  His promises are never broken and His heart is always true.

"He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams."
Psalm 23:2
