So I have recently been frustrated at God, just a little, and the reason being is that I feel at times like my campus here in Gresham is going nowhere. Which is really totally not right because we really have gone far. We are in a place of growing individually... when we grow individually than God will grow us in numbers. I have to keep my mind focused in the goal at hand but I can't get so caught up in the #'s that I lose sight of the people that we do have. Even if I only get a half dozen people one weekend, I want to make sure that they are the most blessed, most prayed for, most cared for half dozen people at living hope church. I need to get over the fact that it isn't all about #'s... it is about my influence in there lives and my impact that I can make to help them grow in spirit...
Please be prayin, as I am still having these struggles now and again.

Tim, God's got a plan for you and for the ministry you're doing there. I know He does. Let him lead you. Don't be discouraged! You are succeeding in so many ways. What you are feeling and experiencing is Satan and his demons trying to whisper in to your ear to just give up. They can cast emotions upon you as well, hence the frustration. Realize that the battle you're fighting is a spiritual one and that you have at least one person on his knees praying for you. Let God get your back, brother. Read a couple of Paul's letters and gain encouragement from them.
you are missed....
Tim
I wanted you to know that you are doing good. Find encouragement my young brother in one life changed. Trust God and simply do the next one right thing.
God's timing simply isn't ours, right?
You are doing good. I am honored to know you and look forward to the future.
Don't give up.
JOHN BISHOP
