Hebrews 1:3

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His Being, sustaining all things by His powerful WORD.

After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven.


To make a long story very short...I lost my voice. This verse declares the power and authority that comes when God speaks. I asked God at the beginning of the week if He would be the one speaking and not me. I had a sore throat this weekend, yet still taught Sunday school.

Monday was a very busy office/errand day. I was able to meet with Robert Morris the Family Pastor at Firewheel Church (http://www.firewheelchurch.com/). They have a very dynamic Kids Club ministry that we will be modeling some of what we do after. We have a great time of brainstorming and fellowshipping.

Tuesday morning and afternoon we attended the funeral and burial service of Lindsey's cousin, Gena Tutton. Afterward, we went to the family and friend dinner. The time that we spent with our close family was very encouraging. Knowing that I would be leaving for Kids For Christ soon the family sent the rest of the leftovers with me. I was able to deliver the catered style sausage, spiral -cut ham, casseroles, full lunch meat/cheese platter, etc...etc... to several well-deserving families who send their kids to KFC and TFC. One mother who recieved most of the food was from Louisiana and was displaced with her seven kids (2 teens) to Dallas. They are a great family and now a very "stuffed" family. All our kids received a good dinner meal Tuesday because of the Hartley-McCullough family's generousity.

Tuesday evening is when I finally lost my voice. I did not lose it during KFC- I lost it before...just for the record book. Pueblo De Dios shared the lesson and the verse. On the night when Uncle Joe did not have his voice...we had a packed house! It was incredible! Our kids just seemed to pour in. The Huddle Time went really well.

Wednesday morning I woke up and my voice was completely shot. I knew that if the Seniors from our Senior Adult Bible Study found out that I was not going to make it they would not attend, so I wrapped up my lesson and traveled to Bible Study. God spoke through His Word and we had a great Bible Study. We have started sharing prayer requests before our hymn and prayer. Our seniors and adults are really growing...spiritually. We continued our Bible Study in Romans 1:18-2:16. Each person had something very insightful to share. Please continue to pray for this ministry.

Wednesday afternoon I traveled out to Celina to set up a ministry account with my AMF Regional Director. The banker was able to credit $200 to our account! PTL!!!

Wednesday evening- still without a voice- I started one of our three Teens For Christ Ministries at All Nations Fellowship in Garland. I ended with the whole group by myself. They had never played Upset the Fruit Basket- so after we shared our names and introductions we played UFB for a long time and then I shared the lesson (I need to learn sign language!). Everyone had a great time. The whole church is excited about starting this new TFC ministry. They are already excited about serving on one of our STAR Mission Trips!

Please pray for us tonight at Rosemont (I still do not have a voice.). I will be showing "The Jesus Video-Children's Edition" to our KFC kids tonight. This will be our second night to meet! PTL. Please also pray for our TFC ministry at Rosemont. Dan Chambers is going to start, "The Hope," video lesson series with our teens.

Praise the Lord! We have approx. 18-19 Thanksgiving Baskets sponsored! We have at least 10 more families who need sponsorships. If you are interested in sponsoring a Thanksgiving Basket and/or Turkey please contact me (starfireamf@aol.com or 214-914-2948. Thanks Again!

-sustaining all things by His powerful Word.
