The Plumbline

Newsletter of the Wilmore Free Methodist Church December 2017 / January 2018

If you’ve been around WFMC for a little while, you’ve undoubtedly heard me lament our society’s ever more harried rush to Christ-mas...at the expense of Thanksgiving. Truly, I think it’s getting worse as the years pass.

There are lots of reasons this happens. First of all, we’re driven (more than we often realize, unfortunately) by commerce and advertising, and of course there’s far more money to be made from Christmas shopping than Thanksgiving shopping. So the rush to Christmas is driven, in part, by merchants.

Also, as our society drifts ever further from any sensibility toward God, Thanksgiving, by it’s very nature, becomes a little confusing. To whom is our thanksgiving directed, if not toward God? But if we insist on denying God, Thanksgiving, then, becomes a troublesome reminder of our nation’s unsophisticated, su-perstitious past. So...best to ditch it...or minimize it...or make it about something else, like turkey or family or football—all fine and good things, but none comparable with Thanksgiving’s true purpose.

Now, I realize that I’m writing these words before Thanksgiving, and also that you’ll be reading these words after Thanksgiving, but it’s never too late, or out of season, to give thanks. So I’d like to share with you a few things I’m thankful for this year, which will hopefully help us all carry a thankful spirit on into the days, weeks and the new year to come.

One thing I’m thankful for is the completion of our facility expansion project. Every time I walk into the buildings, I’m grateful to God for how He’s provided for us, how He’s kept us unified and on task, and how He continues to use the influence of our church in our community. Not many church families can walk though a building project...especially one as extended as ours was...and come out unscathed, interperson-ally, but we’ve done that. Everyone has been so patient and understanding and helpful and generous, and that’s a witness of God’s presence and grace with us.

Another point of gratitude in my life this year has been the opportunities I’ve had to travel to Russia. Of course you who travel abroad frequently already know this, but apart from just the educational broadening that takes place through travel, I’m specifically grateful of the reminder of the enduring witness and power of Christ’s Church even in places we don’t typically think about. Christ’s Church and Kingdom are so much larger than we typically understand. God is far more diverse than we are often comfortable admit-ting, and He’s working in ways and peoples very different from us. He’s a big God doing big things, and I’m grateful to be a small part of His plans.

I’m also grateful for the hundreds of people who lead and make ministry happen in our church family. A new family to our church this fall said to me recently, “You know, church, to us, has always been no more than the worship hour on Sunday morning. But here, there seems to be stuff going on all the time.” They’re right, and it’s good stuff—redemptive stuff, all having to do with worship, discipleship and out-reach, and it couldn’t happen without our team leaders and members who give time and talents toward these things. In an increasingly me-centered world, there are literally hundreds of you who choose to be others-centered and give of yourselves to serving Christ and making Him known. The “come, sit and ob-serve” churches in our nation are closing by the dozens because they’ve lost the servant mentality of Je-sus. We have not, and I’m so grateful for that.

Certainly I’m grateful for my family, who all continue to be helpful, flexible, fun, and most importantly, committed to following Christ. As our boys grow, Annette and I (as you who

are parents well know) are constantly amazed and privileged to see how God made them and has uniquely gifted them. We can only guess how He’ll use them in the days to come.

Regarding our boys, I might also say how very grateful Annette and I are to all of you who have served as their teachers, mentors, diaper-changers, advisors, coaches, and surrogate grand-parents. In this church they have been given a tremendous foundation of faith and love that they’ll (prayerfully) recognize one day and appreciate as much as their mother and I do. You are their family-away-from-family, and we are deeply thankful for the many who’ve invested in them in these ways.

Last but not least, I’m very grateful for the tremendous church staff with whom I’m privileged to work. To be honest, I too often take their commitment and sacrificial attitudes for granted. They all work far more hours than their paycheck suggests, and they do their work with the kind of excellence that speaks loudly of Christ. In a world—even the church world—where staff interpersonal struggles and even breaches of morality are becoming almost commonplace, it’s great to be able to have utter confidence in those with whom I work and those who lead our church. So to my family, to my colleagues in ministry, and to my church family, I repeat the words of Paul to the Phi-lippian church, “I thank my God every time I remember you.”

SUE AND DOUG ADKINS (Introducing Sue Adkins as our new writer for the “Getting to

Know You” column in the Plumbline.)

We came down to Wilmore from Toledo, Ohio for our grandson Jason’s 1st birthday in July, 2016. He held up his little arms to us and we promptly returned to Ohio, sold our home in one day and moved to Nicholasville! We have been here for one year and we’ve never looked back. We brought my dad with us who was 90 and had dementia. He just passed into eternity on September 17th

this fall. We started attending

WFMC as guests of Dick and Barbara Barker, Doug’s aunt and uncle. We immedi-ately liked the combination of a traditional church set-ting with some contemporary music. We have just joined the Christmas choir as we both love to sing, too.

Our faith journeys have been vastly different. I was brought up Catholic, but when I was 15 I attended Simp-son Park Camp in Romeo, MI with my Methodist girl-friend and there I gave my heart to Jesus. Doug was a missionary kid and felt the call early in his youth. We share the same love for the Lord, however!

We met on Christian Mingle a year after Doug’s first wife died of a terminal illness. After a very brief court-ship, we were married on November 25, 2011 and spent our honeymoon in Kenya where Doug had lived most of his life. AMAZING!

Ours is a blended family. We have two sons each with both of us have a son named Daniel! Doug’s older son Jonny and wife Siobhan (Keeley) live in Wilmore with our grandson and motivator, Jason, who’s now 2 years old. Doug’s son Danny lives in Grand Rapids, MI; my

son Daniel lives in Loveland, CO; and my younger son

Drew is in Toledo. These three are all single. Doug is currently a school bus driver for Jessamine

County, and now that my dad is no longer my full-time responsibility I have recently returned to work.

LUKE AND KRISTIN HIATT

Luke and Kristin Hiatt are still “newlyweds”, having married on June 18th of 2016, one year and six months ago. They met in college in 2014 at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois where Luke was studying ministerial missions and Kristin was pursuing a teaching degree. They moved to Wilmore in July of 2016 so that Luke could start at Asbury Seminary.

Kristin grew up in a Bap-tist church and came to know Christ at an early age. Luke grew up in this area and his parents, Jeff

and Pam Hiatt, are members here, so Luke has had a long history in the WFMC. In college, he served as an RA for 2 years at Olivet during his sophomore and junior years, then traveled to Ecuador where his faith journey was strengthened. Both Luke and Kristin have a heart for serving young people.

Luke currently works with the youth group here and is actively involved with the middle and high school stu-dents while Kristin sings in the choir and works with younger children.

Kristin currently teaches at Nicholasville Elementary school with her main focus being on math and science. Kristin would like to land a permanent teaching job in the elementary school range. Luke presently works for Chick-Fil-A.

Let God Prove His Promises are True Art Brown

How many times have we failed to experience God’s best because we have not dared to let Him prove His promises? What did our Lord mean when he said, “Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7)? I’ve thought of that often after returning from our Africa Prayer Journey last June. Seven friends including pastor Andy and Ashley Bentz and Karen Koehn of our con-gregation had joined Sylvia and me for two weeks of praying with our people in Africa.

Midway in the journey we met Dr. Roy Winslow at our hospital in Kibogora, Rwanda. He had just arrived from Michigan with plans to serve several weeks as a surgeon. On his arrival he had been shocked to learn that he could not even touch a patient until he had been certified in Rwanda – a requirement he had never had on previous visits – and one he feared might take so long that most of his limited time would be lost. To say he was concerned and discouraged was certainly an understatement. “Please pray for me,” he said.

One of our group almost immediately said, “I believe we should pray that Dr. Winslow will have his certifi-cation in one day!” My unspoken thought was, “Wow, that would be great, but is that even a reasonable pray-er. This is Africa, you know!” But I knew that was not the correct response and sensed that God wanted to do something beyond our expectations.

We agreed that we would make this audacious request our earnest prayer, not sure if we had faith even the size of a mustard seed.

God was bigger than our faith. The next day we received this excited response from the doctor, “Approved TODAY by Rwanda Medical Council and will have license tomorrow! Yes! Thank you, Lord. I can jump in with rounds, orders, actually touch patients and scrub cases. God answered!”

I’ve wondered often since that experience, what God-sized miracles have I missed because I didn’t dare to pray a God-sized prayer? What promise is He ready to fulfill -- just as soon as I dare to ask? Maybe He’s asked you that kind of question, too. Let’s dare to pray God inspired -- God-sized -- prayers. Let’s let Him prove His promises are true.

Begin the New Year with Grandparents Who Pray!

Margaret Dargan If you are a grandparent and have not joined Grandparents Who Pray, this is your invitation . Grandparents Who Pray meets once a month on the third Thursday of the month at the home of Margaret Dargan, 191 Academy Dr. here in Wilmore.

Each meeting begins with a pot luck meal at 6:00 p.m.This provides great fel-lowship and wonderful food. Then around 7:00 p.m., a short devotional is given. Praises and prayer requests are shared for children and grandchildren. Participants may also bring pictures of their grandchildren to pass around.

After general sharing, the group is broken into a couple of smaller groups so that grandchildren can be prayed for by name. It is the goal to pray for each grandchild before the evening is over. We try to dismiss around 8:30 p.m. If you aren’t praying for your grandchildren, who is? Come and share. You and your family will be blessed. It is open to all grandparents! Feel free to call Margaret Dargan, 858-3183 if you have further questions.

Marriage Ministries Glen Ellwood

You know that dating your spouse is good for your marriage, right? But in the midst of rais-

ing kids and balancing commitments, have you put dating on the back burner? Here’s a sugges-

tion for jump-starting the process: do something fun together, just the two of you.

Research shows that 92% of couples who make Date Night a priority have increased satis-

faction in their relationships. The good news is that it’s easier than you might think. You don’t

have to make elaborate plans or spend a ton of money to have a great time together. Think

back to “pre-marriage,” when you were first dating, and revisit some of your favorite conver-

sations and memories.

The busyness and stress of work, kids and finances can often cause husbands and wives to

drift apart over time. Don’t let that happen – make a date and reconnect.

Ted Moon and Hugh Sims

After the recent Sunday evening service in the Nicholasville jail, one of the attendees asked if we had any Daily Bread devotionals to give out. Fortunately, we did because of those in the church who have donated ones they have read. They also ap-preciated the chocolates we gave to balance the spiritual food they received that night. There were several Hugh Sims prayed with after the service.

On the way out to the parking lot something un-usual happened. I was getting in my car when a man and his girlfriend, sitting in a nearby car, called out, "Hey, buddy, would you come over here and pray for me." When I asked him what I could pray for he responded, "My life is so messed up. I just need someone to pray for me." It was one of those God-appointed moments that happened outside the jail.

Thanks for your continued prayers for the Thanksgiving and Christmas jail services.

This year the Bible Quizzers are studying both the book of Ruth and the gospel of Luke. As we prepare this article, the quizzers have fin-ished Ruth (September) and the eighty verses in chapter one (October), and are now in the middle of Luke's nativity narrative. All of the quiz-

zers are enjoying this close look at a familiar passage; but memories of Linus' recitation in A Charlie Brown Christmas have been interfering with correctly quoting from the NIV 2011 edition.

One of the biblical truths that we apply as coaches in Bible Quizzing is: Iron sharpens iron. Our quizzers learn best when they are challenged by other youth who themselves are studying well. We observe this both within our teams when a rookie quizzer strives (and occasionally succeeds) in outscoring a veteran teammate in practice. We also see it across the conference and region when our students compete against a team and come away with a stroke in the loss column. These situations motivate the students and we hear comments like, "I'm going to memorize more next month," or "Let's text each other to hold ourselves accountable to getting our studying done." After several years of the Wilmore teams always being the ones the other churches strive to beat, we are now facing teams that are "sharper" and we are improving because of their commitment.

In October the teams traveled to Vincennes, IN with five teams in three divisions. Our Young Teen Rookies (Lily Prochina and Isaac Maynard) were one of the few teams at the whole meet that were unde-feated and returned with a first place trophy.

Anna Blankenship, Ian Wang, and Lora Prochina were on one of our Senior Teen Veteran A (the top division) teams and placed second. The other STVA team of Jessie Thompson and Nathan Riffell earned third. They were defeated by another New South team from Oakdale.

Our two Young Teen Veteran teams also earned second and third places in team competition. Chris Bauer, Levi Branan, Charlie Kierstead, MariBeth Kierstead, Isaac Madill and Samuel Maynard all competed in this division.

In individual competition, eleven of thirteen of our quizzers made it into the final rounds. Of the eleven, eight finished in the top three. STVA: Lora Prochina (1st), Jessie Thompson (2nd). STVB: Ian Wang (1st), YTVA: Isaac Madill (2nd), Nathan Riffell (3rd). YTVB: Levi Branan(2nd), Charlie Kier-stead (3rd). YTRA: Lily Prochina (1st). It was nice that the sisters Prochina each won their divisions.

In December the team will travel to Petersburg, IN to compete with teams from Wabash and New South Confer-ences . In January we will compete with teams across the region in Greenville, IL. For the past several years, Wilmore has hosted the January tournament, but this year we have swapped dates with Greenville to better fit the schedules of various churches. The Wilmore meet will be on March 10, 2018.

We covet the continuing prayers and support of the congregation as our youth hide God's word in their hearts and minds.

Home Missions By Megan Kidwell

From Trevor Hollis of Intervarsity: Rae* needed a lot of support and spiritual counsel dur-

ing her first couple months at Southern Utah University (SUU). I first met Rae by chance during freshmen orien-tation and then got to know her when she joined the Small Group Bible Study I started leading in the dorms. As a freshman, this was Rae’s first time living on her own through her new sense of freedom she made some unwise choices. For instance, Rae developed a habit of regularly consuming energy drinks to try to keep up with her busy class and work schedule. However, after about a month of relying on energy drinks, there was one night when Rae threw up blood and had to go to the emergency room. In addition to the hardships that resulted from her unwise decisions, Rae also had to deal with other diffi-culties such as a bad roommate, stress from school and work, and emotional pain from the shooting in Las Vegas (her home town).

In the midst of her pain and stress, I encouraged Rae to turn to God and surrender the hardships to Him. Even though she was a Christian, Rae didn’t choose to listen to my advice, or apply it to her life. Instead, she simply made excuses for her misfortune. Yet I persisted in point-ing Rae to Jesus. Her break-through finally occurred after I led a group of students through a prayer experience that focused on listening to God. Through that experience, God told Rae that she was His child. Hearing this truth from God helped Rae start to open herself up to Jesus again. A few weeks later, a late-night conversation in the dorms resulted in Rae confessing a sin that had been weighing on her since early summer. I again led the group in a time of prayer and Rae experienced deep heal-ing and forgiveness from God.

Just recently, Rae went to a weekend conference host-ed by InterVarsity with fourteen other students from SUU. The conference focused on three foundational truths of Christianity: trusting Jesus, living a life that honors God, and making disciples. At the end of the con-ference, the speaker invited students to commit them-selves to living out at least one of the three foundational truths. To my delight, Rae committed herself to make dis-ciples and now has a passion and goal to reach out to oth-ers for God. Just like I poured into her life, Rae now has chosen to pour into the lives of others!

Giving and Receiving in Russia Mark Elliott

During the Wilmore Free Methodist/Asbury faculty speaking trip to Russia last May, we visited a

home for the elderly in the village of Ivanskoe near Kostroma. On this visit we learned of the director’s need for a laptop replacement that could handle spreadsheet work. Generous souls in our church recently covered this need.

Orphan’s Tree, a ministry to Russian orphan grads, helps this home for the elderly in a Godly, win-win way. Yana, one of our Orphan’s Tree translators last May, encourages “her” orphan grads to give back to the community as well as to receive charity. So in the following pictures we not only see the director of the home for the elderly with her new “Free Methodist” laptop, but we see older orphans visiting senior citi-zens and standing behind a table and benches they built for the elderly.
