Better Than Busy – Update from Terry King

While waiting quietly a couple of days ago, I heard the words, “Often doing less is enables one to do more.” This is quite a challenge for me. I like to be busy! My reality is a combination of factors have contributed to make “busy” more difficult. My challenge now is to focus the things the Holy Spirit is leading, avoiding the busy and focusing on the better. Do you  face the same challenge?

The internet is one tool which is making this possible. This morning, a Sunday, ministry connections will take me to three continents in real time. First early this morning to London, then to Manila, then to West Virginia and Maryland. This would have been impossible just a few short years ago.

EARN YOUR MINISTRY DIPLOMA AT AIM INSTITUTE          

Three courses are starting in just a couple of weeks at AIM Institute; “General Epistles” with Lovemore Manaka from South Africa, “Homiletics” with Miguel Pabilonia from the Philippines facilitating my teaching videos and materials with a group gathering in upstate New York, and “Romans and Galatians” with Dan Haas from Illinois. (Details and registration at  www.aim-i.org)

This week, Miguel Pabilonia launched a second delivery of “Discover Your Purpose” in the Philippines. The response was so enthusiastic two sessions had to be organized. I spoke to the first group on Saturday and will speak to the second group today. James Ruark is coming this week to record classes for the new course “Mental Health and the Role of the Church,” and at the end of the month, Randy Vruggink will come to our “studio” to record “Local Church Mission and Vision.” I believe that part of my calling is to provide a platform for others to minister.

FOCUSED

Our calling and gifts have not changed! Teaching and mentoring leaders is at the core. I am following the pattern established by Paul and Barnabas, “After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia, where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God. Paul and Barnabas also appointed elders in every church With prayer and fasting, they turned the elders over to the care of the Lord, in whom they had put their trust. (Acts 1:21-23)

Your support is foundational to enabling us to press forward. Thank you!

For Jesus and HIS Kingdom,

Terry and Linda King
