Pastorgraphs: “Streams of Mercy”
I will be
so pleased if you will take a few minutes to view our new Fount of Blessings
video at www.vimeo.com/vandor/fount
. The video tells what The Fount is, how it works, and the exciting bold vision
we have for the future.
The Fount
offers a revolutionary new way for churches, charities and social agencies to
work together helping those in need. We miss so many opportunities to help out
because we simply are not aware of the abundant resources being offered right
around us. That results in duplication of efforts, inefficiency and
ineffectiveness in carrying out our mission and ministry.
The good
news is that each “Fount” (church, charity or agency) doesn’t have to provide
every service imaginable. By searching The Fount’s user friendly database,
anyone can locate such “Streams of Mercy” as food, clothing or shelter,
frequently right in their own neighborhood.
The Fount
is a pilot project for San Diego, but if it works here, it will work in other
places. And best of all, it is free and available 24/7/365. Thank you for
helping us get the word out!
I would
love to discuss all this with you, so don’t hesitate to send me an email or
call me at (619) 723-1371. As you can probably tell, I’m always eager to share
this good news.
I want to
thank Pastor and Mrs. Donald Owens and The Exodus Inspirational Ensemble
(see photo) for providing the worship music at our District Conference Saturday
in Encinitas. What a wonderful way to introduce to the pastors and lay leaders
of our South District the spiritual energy Exodus Church brings. We are so
blessed by Exodus’ love and praise!
District
Superintendent John Farley offered a message entitled, “Are You Having Fun,
Yet?”. As he reflected upon his first year as DS, he said one of the joys was
discovering the many things going on at Christ Ministry Center, and the
emergence of Exodus Parish. I am grateful for his kind words of encouragement
and support.
In addition
to the Owens and Exodus Ensemble, David Stump and I also attended the District
Conference at San Dieguito UMC Saturday morning. It was informative and
inspirational. Our fellow churches are now aware that they may soon welcome a
new sister congregation (Exodus) in the heart of San Diego.
So between
the work of Christ Ministry Center, Exodus Parish and The Fount of Blessings,
our work load is full, and the opportunities are abundant!
Devotedly
yours, Bill Jenkins
