Matthew 11:28-30 - “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Claim it…
Sometimes, we go through stuff…BUT we always know Jesus is in control, so with that being said…I claim it!!
Luke 21:10-19, “Then he said to them: ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven, but before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life.’“

NewSpring Kenya Trip
Today, there is a group of 48 people who will be leaving to serve in Kenya! I am so pumped for this group and it is my prayer that God will protect them as they travel, but will also wreck them as they serve.
Jump over to Dave Nimmons’ blog to get a full detail of what they will be doing while in Kenya. You can also see who is going, so you can pray for them by name.
Lastly, in the list of people you notice that there are people going from Anderson, Florence, and Greenville. I can’t wait till we have some folks from our Columbia Campus join in on future trips. You can go to the NewSpring website for details on future Kenya trips, but here is a list of the future trips coming up in 2010:
- February 4-13, 2010
- May 20-29, 2010 (medical/dental focus)
- June 10-19, 2010
- August 19-28, 2010
- November 18-27, 2010
Love you guys!! Praying for you!

Why?
Why is it that we believe God can and will easily forget the plans He has for us??
Is it because we are impatient, selfish and at times disobedient??
NewSpring Thanksgiving Food Drive is happening on November 15th! The Columbia Campus is partnering with the Oliver Gospel Mission to provide an entire Thanksgiving meal box for needy families in the Midlands. You can help by bringing items below to fill the boxes so these families can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.
