Are You Looking For A Mission Trip This Summer? 0 comments

Submitted by Katie Bader, Patriot Mom

“...to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”

Through a partnership with the Florida Baptist Convention and the North American Mission Board, we are collaborating with a Haitian Church to do a short-term discipleship focused mission project. Our time will be spent building relationships with the pastors and leaders of the church, teachers and students in the school, and members of the church and community.

We will be teaching fundamental truths through stories from scripture, spending time in the school teaching basic curriculum, having training workshops for the teachers and leaders, and worshipping together.

Throughout the week, there will also be a group designated to the reconstruction of the church/school building, which was demolished during the devastating 2010 earthquake. Please pray about and consider joining us in this journey to disciple and help better equip this community to be disciple makers within their nation, while also rebuilding their school/church.

Through this project, our desire is to help meet the temporal and eternal needs of these people by showing them the love of Christ.

TEAM 1 July 5-11
TEAM 2 July 26 – August 1

Acts 20:24
"But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God."

Once A Month Cooking 0 comments

Patriot Moms,

You may know one of our very own Patriot moms, Megan Morgan. She depicts the word "organized." I'm pretty sure if you look up that word in the dictionary, it has her picture by it. One of the ways that Megan stays organized in her busy life is by using the once a month cooking method. She has a meal exchange group that cooks once a month, and then exchanges frozen meals. That means that each mom comes home with 20 different frozen meals for her family each month.

If you would like a freezer stocked for a month with about 4 hours of work and $100, Contact Megan Morgan at Montymeg@sbcglobal.net or 633-2366 to join other families in a meal exchange. Slots to become a part of the group are now available, and recipes are provided.

Mrs. Palen's word for us at the Mother's of Providence meeting was very timely... I had just been thinking - only 3 more weeks and we are done when she lovingly said that it isn't over in 3 weeks. Our learning should never stop. Learning doesn't always have to involve a pencil and paper. Our kids need to develop a love of learning so that they continue to learn even when there is not a blue sheet to check off. We need to be the model for them of loving to learn.

It should also be so with our love and learning of the Word of God. I heard Beth Moore say that she regularly asks God to give her a supernatural love for His word. Maybe you don't think you can memorize scripture. Maybe you think your brain is just not wired to do it. God can help you! Ask him! He created your brain - he knows how to get it working to soak up His words! It takes effort but effort produces results.

Leave a comment with a scripture you would like to memorize and then ask God for help!

It's the 1st - April Fools Day! While today may be filled with fun and jokes, let it also be filled with wisdom and knowledge.

Proverbs 10:14
The wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.

Join us as we store up knowledge by hiding God's word in our hearts. Please leave a comment with the scripture that you are choosing to memorize over the next few weeks. Maybe it is one about finishing strong. Maybe it is one about the power of the Holy Spirit, or maybe it is one about the magnificence of God. You choose. Other moms will be encouraged by reading your comment.
