Dear Praying Friends,
It is hard to believe that the summer is drawing to a close.
I hope that this letter finds you rejoicing in the faithfulness of God. I am
getting excited about starting school again next week. I’m looking forward to
an expanded role as a leader in middle school discipleship. I will also be
continuing my duties as a substitute teacher. I am so grateful to be able to be
a part of a Christian community such as the Potter’s House Christian school.
I continue to be grateful for the opportunities God has
given me to preach his word. The opportunities at Mel Trotter ministries and
Rest Haven Homes are still going strong. We are in the process of adding some
new members to our Jail ministry team and I am very excited about that. Serving
alongside like-minded brothers in Christ is a true blessing of life on this
earth.
I would ask that you would pray for me as I am seeking more
opportunities to speak and I’m also open to a ministry -related job that would
complement my ministry well and allow me a more stable income. I am extremely
grateful for God’s watch care over me but I am also mindful that wisdom is
needed as I look to and plan for the future.
One area where I am hoping to get some opportunities is in
speaking to Christian schools. I will be spending time in the next couple of
weeks reaching out. Please pray that the right doors will open. I have been
very thankful for the podcast ministry that God has given me and over the next
several weeks we will be planning our Christmas shows. These are among my
favorite to do because they are a major part of why Speaking4him exists. Please
pray that God will direct us to the proper content.
As you may have seen, the podcast recently celebrated 150
episodes. Another exciting milestone for speaking4him is that this month we
celebrate six years in ministry! Thank you so much to everyone who has prayed
for and encouraged us over the years. I say we because this ministry is not
about me but rather about him and also as a way to point out the fact that I
have had many people working with me throughout this time.
Speaking of needed support, if there is anyone who would
like to commit to regularly playing the piano on the second Sunday of each
month when I do the service at Rest Haven please let me know. This is a great
opportunity for service and fellowship and I would be extremely grateful if you
would be willing to help me or if you would pray that God would lead me to a
good person to fulfill this task on a regular basis.
As I close I just want to encourage you with the words of
Paul “ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast,
unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that
your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (I Corinthians 15:58)
Keep Serving The Best of Masters,
Andrew Gommesen
