01.27.12 – Update from Roland Stone

Tonight Glen South preached, and WOW! were we in for a treat. This guy can can a give message!  Let me tell you. He gave the sermon on our tenth bible truth.The truth is found in Colossians 3:10, “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him...”

Glen gave three main points:

1.Col 3:9-put off the old man, through repentance

2.Col 1:18-giving Christ preeminence, by making Christ first

3.Col 3:10-put on the new man, by walking with Christ . Very touchy subject to those whom refuse to ask Christ into there life as Savior and Lord.

The attendance was pretty good, we had around twenty enrollees and twelve children. Our staff is fine tuning the program so well that everything is running real smooth. Once again, we give lots of thanks to our church Grace Baptist of Middletown. And we, of course, give all the glory to Jesus Christ. I would like to also thank anyone else who has had any part at all in aiding us with any help they have given.

Your friend,

Roland Stone

Enabled: Friday 13, 2012 by R. Stone

Friday 13 2012 Update from Roland Stone:

It was another full house at Enable Ministries. The mission is growing more and more every day.We have been building relationships with many men and women who live in our local temporory housing units.  Most of these folks are wanting a change of life.There are many reasons why these people have hit rock bottom.The main reason being,the lack of work in the city of Middletown.  I’m sure there are some cases in which drugs and alchol play a part.  It is not our job to fix their past; that is God’s job.  We can become good stewards of the grace of God by expressing how we too have overcome tough situations with Jesus Christ’s help.

Friday Night by Roland Stone

Exploding Friday night at Enabled Ministries

We had at least fifty people inside the ministry building.  The message we preached was centered around Jeremiah 17:9.  Our message brought many questions.  We did our best to answer any questions and give what advice we could.  We do wish our guests success in overcoming these tough situations.

It takes a high level of patience to witness many of our enrollees achieve their goals.  Some guests are homeless, hungry, and just ready to give up all hope.  Most people we try to reach have already given up.

Our main goal at group on Friday nights is to allow these unfortunate people to see God at work first hand.  So enabling these guys to witness the power of God teaches them our overall purpose which is: Knowing Christ can make you free.

Please continue to pray for us.  We are still in need of volunteers to help counsel on Friday nights.

Thanks, Roland Stone

Friday Night!

The Lord is always good whether we recognize His goodness or not.  Last evening [November 4th], the Lord allowed us to meet again for our weekly HOPE International Addictions meeting.  The Lord brought eight enrollees our way again, and we were able to make some headway in the study of the Word of God.

We looked at Second Peter chapter one and studied about TRUTH and EXPERIENCE.  Our experience should grow out of God’s Truth.  The Word of God must be a Priority in life.  Many times the problems we face come from relying upon our own experience or upon the experiences of other rather than looking into the “more sure word of prophecy.”  The Word of God is more reliable than the testimony of men.

Please continue to pray as we continue to meet.  Pray for Roland as he continues to work towards his GED and continues to learn more and more about the ministry.  Please pray for the others who were in attendance.  Pray for souls to be saved.  Pray for disciples.  Pray for God to be glorified.
