 1/12th of ’24 was a rocket, Dan! “Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.” Psalms 144:4 ESV  Nora and I are so grateful for you and this great start into 2024. With so many ‘sectors’ of life juggled, we sense the Lord is qualifying each one, helping us select and focus better in those areas He desires us to vest more in, allowing His grace to overflow into others. We’re always looking to God for that overflow of His life into ours and therefore into others …  “Hybrid” is a word I’ve used lately regarding focus and work. Maybe it’s my age and stage in life, yet I find myself available and working about half these waking hours in Kingdom sustainable development which has been such a large part of our latest 13 years of ministry. The other half is being pulled into mentoring and helping those in need of “walk besides” in their spiritual journeys, internationally and domestically. On a given day, I can be on ZOOM calls with Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, other countries, USA, discussing ministry needs and how we can help … and the next hour I’m facilitating a men’s group here in Colorado, or having another ZOOM and/or meal together, mentoring and creating in-Christ paths and conversations for the men to journey into in their personal lives of work and family. Honestly, so far, I am loving this! And it’s quickly getting much busier, with more offerings of both types of pulls on the calendar each day.      Example … Prayer, your prayer, is invited into my time this Friday, February 2nd at 6:30 am, leading men into a 90-minute presentation-discussion of “redemption, as it relates to my last 2.5 years” through the dissected aorta. I don’t know these 30-45 men, so will be my first time presenting the story to unknown faces. Pray “I” don’t say anything … but, that He “the Holy Spirit” speaks solely via this small man-Dan! 🙂 Pray also, please, for my/our dear Nora, my precious bride. This beginning semester of teaching has been extremely difficult on so many levels of her life.  We are very much looking forward to sharing with you, many more specifics of life and ministry in 2024! Stay tuned as our precious Lord opens these doors into His “Kingdom come” ventures among us! p.s. … so grateful for this my first time on the slopes since the aortic dissection, with Eliana and a couple of guys from my men’s group!  ❤️ So grateful for your life into ours, Dan! ❤️ ”I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.“ Philippians 1:3-5 ESV  &  Daniel and Nora Global Service Associates P.O.

Wow…look what God has done and IS DOING! Challenging…sometimes terrifying but also exhilarating! 😉 Mary Kindness: Martin Luther King Quote Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
