Seasons of Ministry

Different seasons bring different challenges in ministry: spring is a time of planning and beginning new projects, summer is extremely busy, fall is slower, and winter is the slowest of all.  Due to weather conditions, people tend to stay inside in the winter, and so it is more difficult to meet with people and get out to do a lot of things. 

That being said, here is a short run-down of what our last two months have looked like:
 - lots of personal language study
 - prayer and vision-casting for our ministry in the city
 - meetings with people we already know which are planned in advance
 - investing in relationships with both believers and unbelievers
 - both of us have joined gyms to not only exercise, but also to mingle with new people in the hopes of sharing the gospel with them
 - we continue to meet with our small group Bible study every Thursday night in our home (usually between 5-10 people)

Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure:
