Ephesians 4:8,11-16 says

“Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”

Words can’t describe how encouraged our family was by the FEW Conference in North Carolina last weekend!

The messages and the fellowship of likeminded believers inspired us and motivated us greatly to continue growing in our walks with the Lord.

We were encouraged to draw closer to one another and seek to be a family fitly joined together making a godly impact on all those that God brings along our path.

 

Ps 50:5 "Gather my saints together unto me;..."

What an incredible orchestra we had!

Ps 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 

Testings and trials come but who will you turn to?
