Dear Family and Friends,
Another year draws to a close. Another year on this journey of discovery within Christ. Another mother lode of reasons why He is worthy of our bond-service. He is not merely the reason for the season, He is our All in All. This is why Grace Link exists – to connect others to Him in personal, healing ways. Thank you for being on this journey with us.
I probably say this too often, but this year has been a blur for me. Sandra and I were quite busy through November and just now things seem to be settling down. I’ll hit the highlights month by month:
The Gospel is not only good news, it is GREAT news!
Why? Because it provides proof that God offers His own righteous life to His children.
Are you experiencing the reality of this GREAT news for yourself?
Have you ever noticed that when you get really enthusiastic about the amazing nature of God’s grace and try to talk to someone, especially someone in ministry, about how radical it is...have you ever noticed how often you hear,"Yes, grace is important but you have to balance it with the law”? My wife, Sandra, recently got this comment from a pastor when she was sharing with him about our ministry. He said something like “what about Romans 7?” And she said “Well, what about Romans 8?” You go girl!
Grace Link is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization and is dependent on donations from individuals and churches to cover its financial obligations. All donations are tax deductible.
Blake and Sandra are missionaries and depend on the donations from their Personal Support team for their personal salary. The following is offered to help in understanding the concept of Personal Support.
WHAT IS PERSONAL SUPPORT?
Grace Link staff members are responsible for raising their own support from individuals and/or churches. This allows our ministry to be unique in that we can offer quality new-covenant discipling using a donation-based fee structure. The following addresses some of the most commonly asked questions about personal support.
From the beginning this trip was going to be different. We planned it for March 13-21, 2009, when most of our students were available to be part of the team. By faith we reserved 20 tickets, a pretty big commitment in these economic times. And we did have some students participate, high school and college, seven in all. In the end we put together a team of 19 members, very close to our faith goal of 20. It was a good mix of veterans and rookies with a strong leadership quality.
Weather-wise it was probably the worst time of year to be in Poland. Spring was trying to pry its way into the lock grip that winter had on central Europe and there was a battle going on. Rarely did the sun get it’s due, but the rain and snow slugged it out, each winning its share of the rounds. The team took it all in stride. However I think this battle of the seasons had its effect on the health of everyone at least a little bit.
