We're Golfin' for Jesus -- Are You In?

Dear Friends,

Praise the Lord! Living Water Rescue Mission has been open and serving the Lord for over a month now. Thank you all for your part in making Phase 1 come together. We started helping guests within hours of opening and have been ever since. On April 29th we had a huge turnout for LWRM’s open house—around 200 folks came to tour the mission God built. That day is in my top 10 best, what a joy it is to boast in the Lord. In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah. (Psalm 44:8)

There have been some that have blessed to hear my ♫Cookin’ For Jesus♫ song as well as all of the related verses. We at the mission have sung them all—♫Haulin’ for Jesus♫, ♫Sortin’ for Jesus♫, ♫Hammerin’ for Jesus♫, ♫Cleanin’ for Jesus♫ and who could forget that Appalachian favorite ♫Drivin’ for Jesus♫, and many more. The point is that we at the Mission do all things for Jesus, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25:40) Stay with me now, it will all make sense soon.

We are holding the first annual Golf Fundraiser at the York Country Club, brought to you by our Title sponsor “Chances R”. It will be a scramble starting at 12:00pm on June 24th. Even if it rains, come anyway. We will have lunch and door prizes, and you can pick up your certificate to play your tournament round at the convenience of your foursome prior to July 29th. After that date, we will tally all of the scores, and award the Church Trophy and award prizes to the top three teams in each division. So rain or shine, the game is on.

Ok are you still with me, It is with great joy that I present to you the 34th verse to our beloved song. On June 29th all those participating with the 1st annual Living Water Rescue Mission Golf Fundraiser will be ♫Golfin’ for Jesus♫, Praise the Lord!

In all seriousness, we do need your help. The summer months have traditionally been a famine as far as giving goes. Please support the Golf fundraiser; it is an oasis for the mission. Even if you are not a golfer you can help this effort by sponsoring a hole or half hole. (See the enclosed Flyer) If neither works for you, you can caddy from the couch with a donation of any size. At any rate, I would ask you to pray that God would be glorified in all of this, and the mission would be blessed.

I am so encouraged by God’s faithfulness. The transition of building a mission building to building a ministry has been relatively smooth. Thank you to those that have volunteered and I am thanking those of you that have filled out a volunteer application form in advance. There are some meal times still available for sponsoring. You can call our Meal Coordinator Winnie Callahan at 402-362-3252. For those that have prompted to serve but do not know in what capacity, let us help find our God given spiritual gift. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7)

My prayer for you all is that God would bless you in our area of need, that He would guide you in His will, and that the Lord strengthens you for His good purpose. May your Memorial Day be a time of reflection; producing blessed memories.

♫Workin’ for Jesus♫,
