As the final week of my 6 month ministry term drew nigh my 11th hour Jesus answered the praying and seeking of Sherry and I.  The leadership here at Riverwood has given me a new one year term to continue this amazing ministry to amazing people alongside amazing staff!
So much of what we’ve done has been experimental, beta-mode foundation building so I’m thrilled to be able to build on that in the coming year… take it all to the next level and witness more of the dreams and visions come to pass. I’m thrilled to have a chance to continue and grow our “Cafe of the Dead” events.
I’m thrilled with the possibilty (emphasis on possibilty) of developing our new venue into a full-fledged community outreach cafe and… dare I say… Vox hot spot.
I don’t have high expectations of this coming year…. all I want is to do the impossible at every turn, have a relationship with God so intimate that it incapacitates me, bring community to the lonely, reality to the blind, distress to the comfortable, Jesus to the hurting, pull the kingdom of darkness out of this community by it’s roots, change the world and save the universe. For starters.
Rooooaaaar!

p.s. Should clarify this is a faith venture not a paid position. So we’ll be raising support for this coming year of ministry as Urban Missionaries. Please pray! …and let me know if you want to contribute.

That’s great news Greg! (’n'SherryKay)
For you I pray for perseverance - I pray for guts - I pray for an emphatic faith that breaks you through to the other side (of what? not sure. maybe that’s what the Mystic is all about …)
Keep your eye on the prize. On Him who runs before you. Other things and distractions will come in front of you, and like a warrior, you need to beat them down. Beat them down in prayer and in praise and worship for your King.
Your King. The only King. Your all in all, Your everything.
Let nothing stop you. Let no barrier be too big, or too high.
Use the Word. Some days it may feel like all you have, but everyday, it will be enough.
Heaps of Blessings,
V.
