2007: what a ride!!! |
102. 29,916. 3277. 586.
no, those are not the
winning numbers to next
week's powerball. but those
numbers are even more
important when it comes to
eternity. in 2007,
(thanks greatly to your
investment) i ran around and
drove around and flew around
to 102 events.
some of them were single day
bookings and some of them
were multi-day engagements.
over the course of those 102
bookings, we saw
approximately 29,916
attendees. 3,277
of those people were moved
to responses like
rededicating their lives to
Christ, or confession, or
baptism, or full-time
service, etc. and (drum roll
please) 586 souls
stepped into a saving
relationship with Jesus
Christ!
i am thrilled at how God has
continued to allow open
doors and He is drawing His
children to Himself. in my
heart, i hope to that the
total numbers for
2008 completely and
utterly dwarf what we
experienced over the last
calendar year!

on the homefront
with kathryn |
i can hardly remember back
to the days before
nathaniel joined our
circus of love. i am not
sure if that is due to
sleep deprivation or the
fact that we just adore
him so much.
we had a great visit from
john's mom last week. it
was her first time to meet
nathaniel and we all really
enjoyed having her. now
that she is gone, nathaniel
is going through withdrawal
from being rocked to sleep
by a professional.
i have to say that my
mothering skills have grown
immensely over the last 3
months as i am doing more on
less sleep than ever
before...keeping track of 4
children at super wal-mart
while getting everything on
my list...getting 5 of us
dressed for church and in
the car in just over an
hour. along with seeing some
growth, i am constantly
reminded of what i need to
work on. the couch in the
school room has turned into
a giant laundry basket. if
you see my husband in
wrinkled clothes, they are
clean, he just had to go
fish them out of the pile on
the couch.
we are all trying to work
into a rhythm and get
everything done around
here. adding a newborn to
the mix of homemaking and
home schooling is a
definite challenge, but i
wouldn't trade it for the
world.
my children constantly
amaze me with...how many
questions they can ask
that i don't know the
answers to...how much
and how often they
eat... how frequently
they make me laugh...
how creative they can be
with just a rubbermaid
container...and how much
love they give me even
when i am tired and not
so fun to be around.
i am learning much
about grace and
seeking wisdom
everyday.

here's a myspace message i
received a few days ago...
"john r evans! i just
wanted you to know how
much of an impact you had
on me and the rest of our
youth group at the fall
retreat. i never really
did daily devotionals
before that weekend and
now i do them all the
time. i even got a new
bible! thank you for
everything!"

3degrees ministries
needs the assistance of
faithful souls like you. as
we close in on our 3rd
anniversary, we have
literally seen thousands of
lives changed in ways that
demonstrate the God we serve
is The Way to true life and
freedom.
we believe that 2008 will
surely be the most
significant year of ministry
we have experienced to
date. if you feel prompted
to financially support
bringing truth, life, and
purpose to youth and young
adult culture...

congrats keith and susan! |
| |
|
can you imagine doing
anything for 25
years?! well, if you loved
it and invested in it and
had a partner to walk
alongside, i'll bet you
could. i know this because
keith and
susan yarborough
have just celebrated their
25th anniversary
in ministry at first
baptist church of winter
garden, florida.
(and you thought dealing
with your teenager for seven
years was impressive)
3degrees wishes to offer a
humble and heart-filled
recognition of keith and
susan for all they have done
to pour into souls in west
orange county and well
beyond. keith, i hold you
in highest regard and count
you among my foremost
sources of wisdom and
encouragement.
