Living in Grace

This past week found Howard and I at Ridge Haven camp in Brevard, North Carolina.

We came to attend the Living in Grace conference held for all short-term and long-term missionaries serving with Mission to the World.

It was a great time of learning about ourselves and how to prepare ourselves for the work in Lethbridge. A whole week of studying God's grace shown to all of us.





What is the Gospel? the message of Grace
 The Love of God - the foundation of Grace
  Surrender - the response of Grace
   Humility - the reflection of Grace
    Repentance - the posture of Grace
     The Holy Spirit - the agent of Grace
      The Love of Others - the sign of Grace
       Living the Resurrected Life - the way of Grace
        Prayer - the language of Grace
         Good Works - the life of Grace




We spent 5 days on this outline - obviously we cannot share with you everything we learned - but just reading through the heading of our lectures, you can see what the emphasis was on

GRACE

What a marvelous gift. We look forward to sharing it with those we go to work with in Lethbridge.

We would like to leave you with these thoughts -

 "We must lose ourselves in order to see His Grace in us - flowing through us - 

showing His power through our weakness"

"The one condition for spiritual progress is that we remain sincere and humble" John Calvin

Pray for us as we continue to prepare in this way for our service in Alberta.
