Only the beginning…

Eric and I were privileged to attend the Multiply Conference at Vanguard this past weekend and hear from seasoned missionaries about “missional/incarnational” approach to church planting. We were able to visit with current friends, gain some wonderful new friends and soak in so much practical knowledge and guidance. Even before this weekend, we’ve felt God bending and stretching us toward a missional model when we move to Lowry (or wherever He may lead us) next year. Every conference speaker, main sessions and breakout sessions, referred in some way to Ephesians 4. I’ve been digging into it, chewing on all the meaty info presented, and praying earnestly that God will help me love everyone the way He loves and speak boldly of His power and grace/mercy in my own life, EVERY chance I have, being intentional in every opportunity, every day. Please take a few minutes to read Ephesians 4, ask questions of us, and prepare your hearts and minds to hear more about the specifics of what we believe God is calling us to.
Also, praise Him for adding a few prayer warriors and financial supporters to our team! Without sincere prayer and generous giving, this journey isn’t possible. God continues to meet our every need! We pray for our partners and we want to display your photos as a visual for our children as they pray with us, for you. Email us a pic to eric@sanfordfamily.org, please. Also, let us know if you do not currently receive our prayer/praise newsletter and would like to become a prayer partner today!!

Comments, anyone? 🙂

    Looking forward to reading Ephesians 4. Praying for God’s leadership to be clear as you follow Him this year and the ones thereafter. Thankful for the leadership this year as you learn more about yourself and your future.

    I’m so grateful for your boldness and faithfulness to do and be what God has called yall to be. Please pray for us as we do the same here in Demopolis and as we travel to different doctors. Being as that is what we do most of the time other than church. But we have not doubt God has us in this place for such a time as this.
    I read Eph. 4. It’s awesome of course and I’ll be posting this as a prayer on Facebook. I so want to be ALL God is calling me to be for Him and for those that need Him or for those that need encouragement. We serve an Awesome and mighty God. I’m so grateful for His love and mercies.
    Love to you ALL!!!
