Awake Northwest

This weekend Ron & Melissa Jackson, who were missionaries in South Africa for 12 years and now live in our community, hosted a missions conference of sorts at the Ellensburg Foursquare Church. The invited speakers from Seattle Bible College in Everett and a church in Lynnwood, and they also invited various ministries to set up display tables to get the word out about what's available locally for outreach opportunties. The event was sponsored by several local churches, and while attendance was on the light side, the impact was significant.

We were able to host a display table for ISI during the event, and I got to share from the front a little bit about where we're coming from in ministry and what our vision is. We met quite a few people who wanted more information about ISI at CWU, but just as importantly -- after a time of discouragement in ministry -- God is stirring our hearts for further persistence in our call. And more important than THAT, He is calling us to not forget our first love -- JESUS -- as we pursue our passion for international student ministry. Thank you, Lord!

If you visited our table this weekend and are now visiting our website, we'd love to hear from you in the comments section! Let us know any ideas, suggestions, or questions you might have. God bless you!
