Dear Keith and Freda and BCS Students,
Warm greetings from Youth With A Mission – Atlanta. Once again, we are overwhelmed with your servanthood, generosity, love, and encouragement. As you are most likely aware, we have dubbed your team as the “Dream Team.” I don’t know of any ministry or mission’s agency that would not be extremely grateful for the physical assistance on a large property, as well as the loving spirit in which it has been given.
Over the years, we have had numerous teams or individuals that have assisted as “mission builders” at various YWAM bases that we have directed, but we have not known teams that are as well organized, disciplined, ones that target specific areas of need, provide the tools in which to accomplish the tasks, and the spiritual oversight of the team to keep them focused on the “true” purpose of their endeavors.
Needless to say, we have been extremely blessed. The team from Bethesda Christian School has been a tremendous blessing and encouragement. Our staff work so hard and many times feel spread so thin. As you are aware, they do not receive a salary, and yet, continue to serve faithfully as unto the Lord. We do not have the financial resources to hire the laborers that you provided, nor for the supplies that were needed to accomplish the projects.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming along our side to make it possible to train workers for the mission field at home and abroad. You are certainly co-laborers and we do not take you for granted.
With many hands, it does make the burden lighter. It’s such a delight to walk around the YWAM property and view the many tasks that were accomplished by your team. The driveway that has been repaired is appreciated by all and makes a good impression for visitors and guests. No longer must they slow down to a snail’s pace to avoid damage to their vehicles. :) The wood chips around the buildings and landscaping is pleasant to the eye and also provides needed care to prevent further maintenance. The decking looks wonderful following the staining. It was greatly needed, as you know, and hopefully will keep it from further damage in the near future. The fencing looks better than most in the rural neighborhood in which we live. We are glad that this property can be a good witness to our community.
We were so blessed and continue to be in awe of God’s faithfulness. We don’t take you and the team for granted. You were an answer to prayer. And, thank you for your tremendous sensitivity in providing for the team on our behalf such as the meals, rental of portable toilets, and supplies to equip the team.
May God greatly bless you and Bethesda Christian School for releasing the team to minister along our side for the accomplishing of the Great Commission.
In His Service,
Ramona Musch
YWAM Atlanta Director
