Encouraging one another

Dear brothers and sisters,

Greetings to you in His name!

There are multiple ways we can encourage one another. Sending an e-mail to a brother or a sister can turn out to be a great source of encouragement — just like Melinda Rickard has just done for me.

Giving a phone call to a brother or a sister can be very encouraging. Meeting a need can be an encouragement to families in the faith, as well as to families according to the flesh. Letting a brother or a sister know that you are praying for him/her is an encouragement. Giving a visit to a brother or a sister can be a refreshment and a well of encouragement. So we all need to look for ways to encourage another.

This year we have already received visits from people from several states. I have to tell you that all of them served in different areas like preaching, teaching, building, providing health care, making shelves for a library or setting up a volley ball court, among many other things they have done. They all have one thing in common: their visits encouraged us.

It is humbling to see sisters and brothers travel thousands of miles to come to see us. It is much more humbling to see them coming in the spirit of service, with a servant heart, in the likeness of Jesus. It is very encouraging to hear their words of encouragement, to feel their patting on the back fueling us to continue on doing the work of the Lord here.

People like that always see possibilities instead of problems. And they tell you what possibilities they see. This is strengthening the body as opposed to tearing down the body of Christ. I praise God for all these groups we have had and who have made an impact both on the physically (on our campus) and spiritually (on our people).

Our latest group who has done that for us has been Kenai Christian Church (Alaska). Listening to their stories, I can see this trip was not a pleasing sight for Satan. This trip costs a brother his job. This story has shaken several of our men and they have been encouraged by it. It costs several of them their prized vacations. One brother came in spite of the fact he has left home challenges in the likeness of Mount Everest. They have encouraged both Living Water people in Gonaives and those of Marmelade. We thank God and praise God for their encouragements.

When brother Bryan Copenhaver was bringing his vibrant and encouraging message to an end, he had us read a text that I will leave you with. It is Hebrews 10:25 and says: “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another — and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

How can someone encourage you today? Yes, I mean it. How can someone encourage you today.

How can you encourage someone today? Whatever way you decide, go ahead and encourage at least one person. Do so as you are preparing yourself to meet with the rest of the body of Christ tomorrow in worship.

In Christ,
