A Note from brAd.I am really excited and proud that we have six
individuals in Joplin, Missouri right now on a
mission trip serving the Lord. Their hands on
approach to missions will benefit numerous
families that are struggling to find someone to
hope in. They arrived late Sunday evening at
Ozark Christian College and began working earlyMonday morning at the local distribution site
located on the campus of College Heights
Christian Church. Some of the team worked out
on location clearing debris that is still prevalent
in the city. Please pray daily for Mike & Debbie
Cooper, Kim Seevers, Nancy Speakman, Lori
Highfield and Chris Crook. I also want to say a
BIG THANK YOU to all those who contributed
financially and to those who donated suppliesthat filled up the trailer. Great job church! If
you would like to keep up with how the College
Heights Christian Church is impacting its
community, go to
http://www.chcchurch.org/the-storm.
I want to remind our church family that I am
beginning a new class for adults this Wednesday
night entitled, HALF TIME! We will meet from
6:30-7:30 p.m. This class is open to all adults.Please join us.
I want to congratulate Andrew Brown for his
decision to make Jesus the Lord of his life. He
was baptized at the conclusion of our second
service. Please pray for Andrew in the upcoming
days that God will surround him with
encouraging people who will be a help to him in
his decision.
Quote of the week: Church isnt where you
meet. Church isnt a building. Church is what you
do. Church is who you are. Church is the human
outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Lets
not go to Church, lets be the Church. I hope
this Summer we will look for opportunities to be
Jesus Christ to others.Have a great week,
Brad Seevers, Eph. 3:20-21

Our Time In EuropeIt is absolutely great for Jessica and me to be home, but wedefinitely had a wonderful time in Europe. From May 26 June10 we were visiting the countries of Germany, Belgium, andAustria. This trip was organized through Kontakt Mission and we
were able to visit many different churches, missionaries, and otherkingdom works over this 2 week period. The situation in Europe isdefinitely dire. Each of these three countries averages less than2.5% evangelical Christianity. In Germany there are more peopleinvolved in the state churches (Lutheran and Catholic), but onemissionary shared with us that only 20% of priests with thesechurches profess a belief in the virgin birth (as an example to theiroverall theology). So these institutions have become so liberal thatit is difficult to have confidence that they are adding to thekingdom. In Belgium and Austria it is the same story, only theonly presence there is the Catholic Church. Second to the statechurches in all of these countries is Islam. So Islam has a strongerfoothold than Evangelical Christianity right now in Europe. All inall, the harvest seems to be less than ripe, but this continent needsworkers to till the soil, plant seeds, and water what is growing. Weas a family are still at a point in which we need to digest and prayabout everything that we experienced over these couple of weeks,but we are confident that God will make it clear over the comingmonth as to his will for our lives concerning Europe. We ask foryou to do two things concerning Europe. One is to learn fromthem. Our country and churches are continually trending towardthe situation that they are experiencing. Try to think about whatthe church needs to look like in America to stop such dwindling ofthe kingdom. The second is to pray for revival in Europe and forstrength for the missionaries there. They have taken on a difficultcalling, but we know that God is ready to bless their efforts.
Prayer Concerns
Vacation Bible School That we would have
enough workers for the
food bagging on
Thursday, June 23
That God would raise upworkers with a heart for
children and teens
Children of God...Train a child in the way he should go andwhen he is old he will not turn from it.Proverbs 22:6
A smile takes but a moment, but thememory of it sometimes lasts forever.
