A quick update for the past few months

If you don't want to read this whole thing, you don'thave to.  But don't forget about our website at www.steveandmegan.org!  We update our blog more often than we send out newsletters.  Also, Megan has a food blog set up at www.foodsweetfood.posterous.com.  The more people that visit her blog, the more food I get.  So please visit.

This School Year is quickly ending.  In two weeks Christian Heritage School will be out and two months after that School of the Bible students will be leaving on their five week foreign outreach.  

Megan has decided this will be her last year teaching the Reading Class (Kindergarten), so she has several options she is considering for what to do next year.  I'll continue teaching in School of the Bible as well as in the 3rd grade and possibly the 4th as well.  I just decided today that I really love teaching in the elementary and that I should continue doing just that.  I wrote differently in our newsletter we just sent out.  If you receive our physical newsletter too, there'll be one lie in it :)

Read a couple quotes from this years School of the Bible students on what they are discovering while studying in School of the Bible:

“A change of heart, based on truth. The Word of God is no longer something I read; it is something I dive into with the Holy Spirit so I can become the agent of change that God has called me to be – one foiunded on truth.“ – Mateo

“I’ve never wanted to help God more in advancing His kingdom here on earth than now.” – Chelsey

Here's an excerpt from Megan's update on her community outreach that she and Christian Heritage School students went on this spring.

My students were so excited to share cards and songs with the elderly residents. They talked to one man that had gone to the very same school when he was a child. The kids were so excited and asked him if he remembered the slide and the merry-go-round, and he did.

Faith, Hope, Love.  Megan has created a new line of jewelry for sale on our website.  The name of her line of jewelry is Faith, Hope, Love, inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:13.  

“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love”

Our first update of the year.  We created a totally new website, still not great in Internet Explorer, and are hoping to regularly update it throughout the year.  This is the first entry at www.steveandmegan.org

The end of the year is here and I guess it’s time to start with the New Years Resolutions.  Along with tightening my glutes and cussing less, consistent upkeep of the website has made my list of things to do this new year.  So welcome to our first blog post...of this year.

Honestly we have no great expectations for this year.  We know that God will continue being a loving and perfect God and we’re going to do our best to work with Him to establish His kingdom on earth.  Outside of that Megan and I have no clue as to what we’re going to experience this year.  There are things we want to do, and things we know we’re going to do in the unforeseeable future, but we don’t quite know what changes this year will bring.

Maybe there won’t be any changes this year.  Maybe this year will be the exact same as last year.  If so, that’s no problem.  We work with great people who love Jesus and desire to help others love Jesus.  Megan’s still teaching the Reading class (Read Kindergarten class) and I’m teaching in both School of the Bible and in the third grade.  We know this is where we’re going to be until the end of summer 2011.  After that we’ll hear from God where we’re to go.

Actually, there is onething I’m excited about this year.  The merging of the prayer movements with the missions movements.  What does that look like practically?  I don’t know, but it’s happening.  The International House of Prayer and Youth With A Mission are increasingly coming together as are other ministries.  There’s so much talk about it, especially from the International House of Prayer that we’re bound to see something tangible this year.  That’s also what God is calling Megan and I to in the future.  To have a ministry that disciples and outreaches to the Indigenous of the Americas that is bathed in 24/7 prayer.  Read more about that on our Vision page that isn’t posted yet :)

Continue to keep us in prayer as we teach and continue to ask God for our next step in the next new year.  Also we’re still trying to find a cheap used car to get us around Tyler while we’re here.  And we could use prayer to find monthly supporters who want to partner with us.  If anyone has a prayer request as well, email us and let us know.  We’d love to join with you in seeking the heart of God.
