Find Your Fit

This week our emphasis at TheBOD will be on FIND YOUR FIT.  As a practice we encourage BODers to Serve One, Attend One.  The following week we'll talk about taking a Spiritual Gifts Assessment but for now scan the abridged version I nabbed from Lifechurch.tv and begin to see if you can FIND YOUR FIT.

Live Preaching

This may come as a shock to some of you but we have decided to change our system and go to a real-life flesh and blood in-the-person preacher each week.  I've attached a photo so you guys can get used to the idea before Sunday.  Thanks to our friend Patrick Moore at Life Church in Franklin, NC for the great idea.  :)  DON'T BLINK!

 
  Craig is kind of letting himself go....

Sunday at TheBOD 1-17-10

A few favs from the message:  MARGIN

*"The best things in life happen in the margin."

*Stay-cation- a vacation spent at home with the family.

*"Quit playing with your little twitter!" - Craig on being there when you are with someone.  Get your nose out of your mobile phone screen and engage the people you love!

*Matt 11:28-29

*"Living life according to the rhythms of God's Grace."

*Haiti -- join LC.tv for an hour of prayer 7pm CST at church on-line.  I love our partnership with Lifechurch.tv.

Sunday Recaps 1-10-10

Big Day at TheBOD...

* Looking forward to 21 days of fasting.  Allison and I will be doing the Daniel Fast.  Actually giving up caffeine has been the toughest part to this point.  The headache should be gone by tomorrow or the next day.  I almost crumbled tonight at supper and brewed a big pot of coffee but the weakness reminded me of the point of the fast...  Reliance on God.  God is good and I cannot wait to see what the next 20 days will bring for me... and YOU. 2 Cor 12:9-10  

* ONE THING:  Praying about my options.... wisdom, slow down, the heart of a shepherd... are you seeking God's ONE THING for you in 2010?

* What does life look like when lived according to the rhythms of God?

* I love Baptism at TheBOD... The story of lives changed.  Emma, Reid, Allen, Justice, Terri, Jessica, and Mike... I pray that you become spiritual giants leading hundreds of others to our Loving Savior.  I promise I will do everything I can to help you run the race. 

* ONE THING QUESTIONS Craig challenged us to answer as we begin the new year.  Get busy.  1. What one thing do you desire from God? 2. What one thing do you lack? 3. What one thing do you need to let go? 4. What one thing do you need to claim?  If you missed the message check it out at LIFECHURCH.TV.

* Next week we'll have an update on the building project and talk about partnership at TheBOD.  TWENTY-TEN is going to be an amazing year... DON'T BLINK.

TWENTY-TEN

is here...  This will be a year of unexpected change.  I have so many things things spinning in my head right now.  Took the weekend away from TheBOD and miss those BODers.  Tempted to share some of ideas but it would be pre-mature.  Pray with me for wisdom and insight.  My best advice... DON'T BLINK! 

 

Honduras Trip Report

Received this from Candy and the gang in Honduras.  Thought you guys might want a peek into what's happening there as well.

 

Hola:

Well the first two days have totally incredible, as Ovidio and Jovito, have taken us site seeing around the town we are staying at a lake. He really wants us to see the community where we are working and to get to know some of the locals and see how they live on a daily basis.  We met the missionaries that we will be working with for the Bible school.  They are from Ohio, wonderful people with 4 kids they home school.

Lush - We think we live in green country. Oh my goodness. We took pictures in front of a beautiful flowering bush, before we realized it was a poinsettia. This bush was over 7 feet tall. Amazing!

We have eaten fresh fruit…. including plantains. Such a sweet fruit when fried.  Tastes similar to fried sweet potatoes. Have eaten finger bananas, pineapple, papayas, drank coconut milk, various other fruits that were delicious. Love the poposa!

Coffee harvest season is in now! We got to tour a roasting plant and bought some fresh beans.  Our coffee lovers are in heaven. Getting things similar to mochas for $0.25.

HUMBLED - We are so glad we did not just jump into working, but have taken time for us to take in the area.  Seeing the people and their living conditions are too much for words.  Maybe totally overwhelmed is a good word also.

Driving skills – Dwayne is behind the wheel! Yikes!  Crazy! The boys are fitting in really well as so many people travel this way, the back of trucks are packed with people.  The guys have ridden in the back of this truck for over 30 miles at a time.  They sing the whole way!

Last night we had church in the village of Buieno Aries.  It was amazing! Chris, Daxx and Drew played and sang some songs.  They had learned one in Spanish and did a great job.  We are so ready to go back to them.  Having an opportunity to see the conformation at the Catholic church was so cool. Today we will begin working at the school.  Men are going to start the playground and we will be painting and pulling off the roof of the kitchen.

I will try to Skype today around noon.  The missionaries have wireless at their home, little slow but still workable.

Send more info. Soon!!!!

Love the Honduras crew!!

 

 

Honduras Mission Trip 2009 Begins
