“…for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.” – Galatians 3:26
We have spent the three of our Sundays in May looking at the book of Galatians. This is Paul’s letter written to the churches in the region of Galatia about how and why to include the Gentiles in their churches. Paul’s conclusion and argument is that all are God’s children and thus worthy of hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is true for us today. Not just for the Gentiles (yep, that’s us), but for all of God’s children. That’s why we work to share the gospel and support one another in building faith. Our Outreach focus for the month of June is a new church that is getting started in north Fargo. The neighborhood is low income with lots of families and children. They spend a lot of their time feeding people and getting to know their neighbors. Pastor Jessica Miller is leading this new start. She wrote to us:
Dear people of G.I.F.T. of Grace,
First, on behalf of The Neighborhood Church (our newest Mission Development ministry in Eastern North Dakota), we want to say, "Thank you!!!" How exciting to partner together in God's ministry. Your faithful prayer and incredible generosity will help make our children's ministry possible this summer!
Just a couple weeks ago, as we were hanging around the picnic tables in the yard, with kids playing, visiting, and shooting around, we decided together, "We want to do more awesome stuff here this summer!" Now, we are so excited to work together with our families to host a Neighborhood Summer Camp for children in our community this summer! One night a week during the summer, we'll have activities, games, art, story, prayer, and more. It's going to be fun, faithful, & flexible, with God as the very heart of it! Your generosity helps us create this meaningful, awesome experience for our kids throughout the entire summer!
This ministry is made possible through prayer and support from generous congregations like yours. Again, as one of God's newest ministries in our area, we give you endless thanks!
