FOR THE BRIDGE BUILDERS

God bless each of you richly! of all the things you learn in your time in training, learn to view each person with whom you come in contact, rich or poor, healthy or infirm, educated or illiterate, capable or handicapped, as a beautiful and much loved creation of our Father God. Keep this always in view, so that the "wants" of clients and the attitudes of others in your own sphere of influence doesn't harden your heart. Teach them the truth of the gospel. Help them learn how to make a life for themselves, how to budget, how to seek out ideas and skills that will help them become better parents. Never let the love of Christ be unmentioned - let it shine in your attitudes and in your words. Be real, and who God created you to be, not just another walking uniform that looks, acts and sounds like everyone else. God created you specifically as who you are, and then he gifted you with the things HE chose for you to have. Never let someone judge that and always be faithful in using your gifts for His kingdom here on earth. Get to know the Holy Spirit in a real and personal way. Love Him and learn from Him. Be prepared for changes and surprises. Welcome them. Never allow pride to creep in with your accomplishments - they are not yours, but God's. Never allow pride to keep you from admitting when you have been wrong or to seek out counsel to improve your spiritual life and your ministry. Pick your battles. Remember that you may only be there to plant the seed and that some other one will harvest it. Plant the seed. Water it. And if it is your privilege to harvest, let not one slip through your fingers. DHQ is not the enemy, nor are other officers or soldiers or board members. They never will be. Remember that. And remember when God's people judge each other, condemn each other and take action against each other, our REAL enemy sits back and laughs as he accomplishes his own will and thwarts God's. Practice unity of spirit and purpose. Learn from your mistakes and accept humbling. Enjoy Scriptural holiness and pray for the "Fire". Be radical in your witness for Christ. Do whatever it takes to reach the lost and to grow the saints and to serve suffering humanity. Go the extra mile, whatever the cost. God must be your life in order for your ministry to bear fruit that lasts. Boast in what God accomplishes in your own life and in your appointments - rejoice over it, but give the credit to God. Feed on God's word. Stay away from compromise. Do not look and linger on evil. Reach out and snatch others out of it. Love God! I remain, your prayer warrior. Hallelujah...!!

You are to build bridges across gender, illiteracy, poverty and above all the sin that is putting man at enmity with God.
