Southern Gospel Mixed
Quartet
When our ministry
began about 8 years ago, we set out to spread the Word of God and encourage
Christians using the talents He gave us. Our continued prayer is that God
will use
“Each one should use
whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering to
God's grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10)
We hope to continue singing, with
God guiding and leading our ministry as He’s been, in order to continue to
minister through music to those who know Jesus and need encouragement, as well
as those who are missing the most precious thing they could have in their
life…Jesus. We encourage you to join us
in leading those around you to Jesus. "Go into the world and preach the good
news" (Mark 16:15) in whatever way God leads you.
The only sight of Jesus some people may ever see is in YOU. We pray you
feel the urgency to reach a lost and dying world for Jesus...He is coming back
soon. We ourselves must be ready and
help in reaching the hearts of those who are not ready. Let your light shine before men, that they may see
your good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven"
Matthew 5:16
Those who are persistent
in prayer, please continue to pray for our ministry. While we often pray
that God will lead us, the devil tries to interfere... discouragement comes in
many forms. We continue to find strength in the Lord to persevere.
While sometimes discouragement may come our way, it may appear as though the
price we pay isn't worth the hassle. We as Christians know that this is
not true...for great is your reward in Heaven.
Pray
for those who care for our children while we are gone and the family members
who are not always able to travel with us.
They are just as big a part of our ministry. Without their help we would
not be able to continue our ministry.
May 2009
Here comes the summer! We are looking forward to warmer weather,
green pastures, and fun singing for the Lord!
Praise be to God!
January, 2009~Reflections
Looking back at our journey, there are so many things to reflect
upon. Let us consider for a moment the
people around you daily as well as people you have just happened to cross paths
with. Think about those who have
encouraged you and who have shared a little of God’s love with you, just enough
to remind you just how much our God really does love us. They reminded you perhaps by sharing
scripture. Maybe they reminded you of God’s
great love by something they did. Do you
remember how the words or actions of that experience made you feel? Refreshed?
Joyous?
Loved? Encouraged? God uses those around us to keep us
encouraged. Why not return the favor? Pray that God uses you to keep others around
you encouraged and that He continues to use those around you to keep you
encouraged. It is not always easy to do,
but remember that all things are possible with God!
Past Postings
Happy New Year! Many see this change to a new year as
a new beginning, almost like the Lord gives us when we pray that prayer and
make Him the Lord of our life! How exciting! What is even more
exciting is if our new year's resolution is about doing God's work.
Choose particular people you know, maybe they know the Lord but have gotten
lost or maybe they don’t know the Lord at all, and resolve to help lead them to
our Savior. Choose special people who desperately need your prayer and
resolve to pray for them every day. There are many resolutions that can
be made in the line of doing God's work which will not only strengthen your
faith but also those around you. Resolutions are not always easy to
accomplish, so remember to pray for the strength to succeed. "I was
pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my
strength and my song; he has become my salvation." (Psalm 118:13-14)
_________________________________________
As our busy
schedule slows down a bit, it provides an opportunity to think a little more
about all of the blessings we have had throughout our ministry this year.
We have been blessed many times with the support we receive from old
friends and new ones. Listening to others sharing their stories of faith
and of their path to salvation is such a blessing to us. It uplifts us
when we are able to witness God at work...when someone kneels at the alter and
our brothers and sisters in Christ gather around them praying that their
burdens be lifted, hearing the testimonies of how God has worked in so many
lives and how He has answered so many prayers. These are the good times
and encouraging times. We began this ministry to minister to others;
however, it ministers to us in many ways.
If
you would like us to send you an e-mail when our schedule is updated or, in the
event that we are having problems with our website, you’d like us to e-mail you
schedule updates, please send us an e-mail (paradise_sg_qt.com) with “mailing
list” as your subject. When we receive
that, we will add you to our address book.
