1 Corinthians 15:58
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Note: I know many of you are on vacation. Happy Vacation!!!
But I also know how connected we are to these gadgets called smart phones:) Even if you're soaking on the beach under an umbrella or in the mountains - enjoy!
The fun is about to begin! It's time for our Annual Golf Tournament!
This year, it'll be July 28th! (If you want to play, let me know. I have a few more slots left. )
Regardless if you play or not, please don't delete this post - We need you!
Last year following play, we held a luncheon for the players. At this luncheon, I shared the gospel and way of being right with God. We had someone share her testimony of how KGM Bible studies have transformed her walk with Jesus - empowering her to be delivered from a prescription drug addiction. IT WAS POWERFUL. (Such courage for to her share.)
We had men and women - far from God - comment to me or either their team captain that this ministry gave them a desire to take another look at "organized religion." Others said, "I want to know their God."
So you see, it's not just golf. It's ministry - reaching an unreached people group right here in our own corner of the world.
Last year, your donations of drinks/sodas, to peanuts to Tee Sponsorships to prizes - helped us tremendously. We are not supported by tithes and offerings like your local church. So because of fundraisers like the golf tournament - we were able:
- to afford the workings of our Women's Conference far before registration ever opened in Dec.
- to have quality speakers for our luncheons. (We pay our speakers.)
- to continue doing ministry like offering you blog post devotions and new resources.
Will you help us again?
(Keep in mind all donations: in kind or monetary - are tax deductible! We are a 501(c) 3 organization. Players can receive an 80% tax deduction of the cost to play!)
1st: PRAYER - we need your prayer support. Pray for the weather AND temperature. (Did I mention this thing is July 28th?) Pray that the players who do not know Jesus will sense something different about us and would desire to know Him personally - following up on that desire by accepting Him personally and getting plugged in to a local church.
2nd: Drinks Last year, someone generously donated waters, soft drinks and Gatorade's for the players to have during play - which normally lasts 5 hours.
Would you be willing to buy an extra case of water or drinks when out doing your shopping? Every bit counts.
3. The Cart Girl fee - the course requires us to use their cart girl to the tune of $150. (Yeah, whatever. We just submit and do it.)
4. Appreciation Bag

We're so grateful for your help!
I know many of you are on vacation. But I also know how connected we are to these gadgets called smart phones:) Even if you're on the beach or in the mountains, contact me HERE to say, "I'll help when I get home!"
We can't do this without you. And I'm convinced, God doesn't want us to do it without you. No matter how big or small - nothing we do for Him or His kingdom is EVER in vain. Be encouraged!
