The Jeramy Anderson Evangelistic Association: October 2009

Our Strategic Focus

Trekking Grace

We trek grace both spiritually and physically. Spiritually, everywhere we go, we seek to spread the message of God's grace through the sacrifice of jesus Christ on the Cross. Physically, we trek in various terrains that we are enabled to hike into. This type of frontier work was begun in 2006 and is incredible; it has already been used where we have trekked, and we hope to be scheduling another trek soon.

Equipping the Church

Evangelism primarily happens through encounters that every believer has throughout life. First of all, the Scripture commands us to never divorce ministry between private and public life (1 Peter), for ministry encompasses all of life. At the same time, God specially gifts and raises up beloved saints whom He has called out to teach and equip His Church. For this reason, we seek to use the gifts God has bestowed upon us to equip local churches by teaching them how to better evangelize and disciple those around them in this Postmodern Era in which we live. We do this by asserting both Biblical Authority and Biblical Sufficiency. Truly, the Bible is both authoritative and sufficient for salvation and godliness. They are two sides of the same coin and, therefore, cannot and must not be separated from each other. Because one or both are denied today, evangelism and discipleship has become stale and impotent. However, when both authority and sufficiency are proclaimed from Genesis to Revelation, the Lord is glorified as His Word is used to radically change the hearts of His Beloved Sheep from all tribes, nations, and tongues! Amen!

Certificates: ESL 8-20-09

Though we had to cut the ESL two weeks short, we did manage to give out certificates tonight. The Heaner family and I went from apartment to apartment and gave out both Beginning and Intermediate Certificates to qualifying students. We had a great time visiting each of the families that were available, and we hope to continue to build relationships with these people.

Regarding future ESL classes, may God grant us wisdom in overcoming facility obstacles in the future. Ultimately, it is His work, and He will make a way as He decrees. May the Lord bless what He has done through all of us in the past seven-eight months at North Chase! The Lord is risen! To Him be the glory alone! Amen!

Northchase ESL 10-13 Building Closure

We were informed today that the building we use for ESL has been shut down until further notice due to repairs by the new management. This was unexpected, so we were not able to teach ESL tonight and will be ending two weeks early. I stayed there for about 3o minutes tonight to tell the students that we had to cut the ESL short. They were disappointed, but I told them that we will go around to their respective homes next Tuesday to hand out certificates.

In light of all this, we will be praying for future ministry direction. Please continue to pray for us as we seek the Lord's guidance in this matter.

To Him be the glory alone! Amen!

Northchase ESL 10-06

Tonight was awesome, especially in the intermediate class! We continue to have insightful questions followed by excellent discussions. Not only is their English improving, but their understanding of the gospel is increasing as well. In our trek through redemptive history, we have arrived at the Birth of Christ, His miracles, and His teachings. Next week is the Death, Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension of Christ. May God open the eyes of their hearts, and may we continue to build relationships with them in class and out of class whether that be in homes or just out in the town.
