Weekly Message from the Pastor

Announcements for the week of May 22, 2019
Teamwork!
 
This past week I experienced an amazing example of teamwork.  Besting selling Christian Author, John Maxwell says, "Team is really an acronym for "Together Everybody Accomplishes More."  I'm convinced this is so true. I've seen it come to pass or "play out" in many of my life circumstances as a Christian leader.
 
Most recently, about 200 Christian leaders gathered in Ahoskie to pull our resources together and embark on the journey of building an orphanage in the poverty ravaged nation of Uganda.  While there are areas of Uganda that do very well, there are areas of extreme poverty and need among the people; most specifically children.
 
Our leaders come together to acquire a piece of property, build an orphanage, house it with staff and we are on our way to the provision of food, clothing, shelter, education, and Christian influence.  It takes about $30,000 US dollars to do this and to house 25 kids.  We came together this past week in a stretch from Roanoke Rapids to the Outer Banks and together we exceeded our goal by several thousand dollars.  To Him be all the glory.
 
How did this happen?  It happened because everyone provided some; not one providing all. It happened because everyone came in the door with the same heart, the same mind, and the same spirit.  We should learn that unity is powerful. Someone said it's like "two people in a boat rowing in the same direction."  You can get somewhere like that.
 
That night we all pooled our resources together and together everybody accomplishes more.  Teamwork makes the dream work!
 
Remember this principle.  Scripture states in the manner of spiritual warfare, that "one will put a thousand to flight, but two will put ten thousand to flight" (Leviticus 26:8; Deuteronomy 32:30) 
 
My challenge is for you to realize that no matter what you are doing in this life, the team is always better when they work together!  Together everybody accomplishes more!
