Joyful greetings [],

Teaching the Bible through the eye-gate with chalk-art ministry takes on a double meaning as a family ministry.  At most of our engagements, people see our entire family from set-up to worship to closing together in the Lord's work.  We are a biblical family unit in a world that used to call us a traditional family.  And, this does inspire other families along the way.  One man in a Latino congregation encouraged me by saying that our family travelling together in a faith-based ministry was an inspiration to other families in the church.  He insisted that this was not a small part of our ministry as itinerant EXAMPLES and should continue to serve the Lord by faith and travel for God to show His power through the family.  Pray for our steadfastness in the Lord's work as we call on pastors and churches to receive our ministry in God's timing.

You may wish to recommend chalk art ministry to a church, pastor, or ministry leader through our website.  If you would like for us to send a brochure to someone, please feel free to contact us as the Lord leads.  Check out our website at www.ChalkTalks.net.  

Good Paths Make Good Neighbors

My life has been marked by good neighbors from birth through today. It amazes me that my earliest memories of a good neighbor was when I sat as a boy at various neighbors' kitchen tables and talked and listened for hours over a simple snack. And, there were paths from our front and back doors that led directly to the neighbors' front and/or back doors. These memories coincide with my family's present day blessing of good neighbors--talking, listening, and sharing snacks. While the paths of my childhood are overgrown with grass, new paths will soon form, as they should with good neighbors.

Get Beyond Yourself--It's A Very Comfortable Place

Joyful greetings,

This wise advice, "Get beyond yourself; it is a very comfortable place," came from a dear friend who has lived exactly that way. I hope you can find great comfort in your life thinking beyond your self!

Joy in Christ,
Dwight
