MINISTRY UPDATE
One of the most important pieces of our ministry efforts is what we call the Ministry of Presence. This is our consistent efforts to be consistently present and engaged with our responders in a multitude of ways. This could look like spending time at the department, going on ride alongs, sharing a meal or coffee together, helping with projects, and doing fun things together. All of these, and many more, provide opportunities to build relationships and time to discuss life, difficulties, and spiritual things. There is no substitute to spending quantity and quality time with those we care about.
This is true not only for our ministry efforts, but for our loved ones as well. I pray that over the past Thanksgiving and this Christmas season, each of us will prioritize spending time with our friends and family. I pray that our time together is filled with laughter, remembering the blessings that God has given each of us, and celebrating the goodness of God. The past year has undoubtably been filled with ups and downs. Some of us have had job changes, health concerns, relationship challenges, and other difficult circumstances. I pray that you have felt God's presence during these times and that He continues to provide the comfort and provision you need. If there is ever anything I can help with or be praying with you about, please let me know. I would love to support you in any way I can.
Many of you may have also seen my year end newsletter sharing about all of the amazing things that we were able to do within the emergency chaplaincy movement. If you have not had a chance to check it out, here it is. We thank you for your ongoing prayers and support as we serve those who serve us. It is through your partnership that I am able to serve as a chaplain full time and lead within Rocky Mountain Police & Fire Chaplains. If you feel led to support us through a year end gift we would greatly appreciate it. Click the link below and select my name from the dropdown menu.
