This has been a very busy, exhausting, and
rewarding season for us. We have seen God faithfully provide and lead us
into a fuller expression of the vision of this ministry. We are grateful for
each of you, for your love and support. It has been four years
of adventure and growth for our family since joining Antioch
Network. We hope as you read this update you will celebrate with us
the goodness of our God and we would love for you to come visit
the community soon.
Love God with all your being, and
love your neighbor as yourself
- Jesus
The Dawood Famly
God has brought us the perfect first family to
start the ministry to refugees. In this picture is Fatema, she is full of
life and mischief, she along with her younger brother love to play over at the
A2J girl's house. They are a Muslim family, we have already had some
wonderful conversations learning about their faith and culture and sharing with
them about Jesus and what it means for us to follow Him. Amani, the 16
year old daughter, while talking with Amber about Jesus said, 'there is
something different about how you live as a Christian". Praise God
for the opportunities He has given to serve this family and share with them the
love and gospel of Jesus.
The kingdom of God is at hand."
Lift up your eyes! Lift up your hearts!
-John the Baptist
+Our support level is down to 40%, some of you know
that I was working temporarily with the Census Bureau the past two months to
help out financially. It was very difficult to work a full time job
and still give strong leadership to the A2J ministry. Please pray for
God's provision, and join us in praying for
new financial partners.
+Pray with us that God will fill the other
three units in the refugee propery soon. We are hoping that Mohammed
and Sallal, two young refugee guys from Iraq will move in this week.
+June 8-12 is our bi-anual Antioch
Gathering, it will be held in Austin, TX. We are hoping that
the majority of the 'apprentices' will join us for this prayer gathering.
Pray with us that God will open the door for each of them to come and pray that
God would use this time to srengthen and envision us for next year.
Prayer is the soul in paraphrase, and
the heart in pilgrimage.
-George Herbert
