I'm shocked at God's immeasurable love, mercy and grace. A good friend of mine shared some verses out of Mark (10:46-52) this week. This is one of those recounts of Jesus that just amazes me on a lot of levels. A man blind and in darkness meets the savior of the world and is transformed. One of the shocking things is that many of the people with Jesus rebuked the man crying out for Jesus. Where they not getting it? The man wouldn't shut up and kept crying out for Jesus. Then in vs. 49...."and Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” Look around you. Who has Jesus put put in your reach to say "take heart...get up...He is calling you"? What an amazing message of Hope to be able to give to a hurting world!
Seth, Terrance, and I were blessed to go to the 2011 National Missionary Convention to showcase the work of AYM through our program Little Bluebird Studios. We had a blast making and handing out free t-shirts and sharing what God is doing through us on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. As most of you know, we started Little Bluebird Studios about 3 years ago to give Apache youth and community members a job and teach them job skills through a real-world running screen print shop. We spent the whole convention challenging churches, organizations, and others to consider being intentional when it comes to ordering custom t-shirts. Let us quote your next order and you just may be able to get the products you need AND help a mission at the same time. So, if you have a need, please be sure to support AYM and let us quote your next job! If you have any questions about the program go to www.littlebluebird.org
Thanks again for your partnership and prayers as we continue to serve the White Mountain Apache tribe! We pray that you have a blessed holiday season as you celebrate the birth of Jesus.
