aym/creative ministries international welcome to the march 2012 edition of up there is so much happening here at aymi that we can t share it all within our newsletter our present ministries are expanding re-envisioning and there are new outreaches coming on board the father spoke to us about this season of our ministry 2 years ago and he showed us how we were to prepare for it needless to say he is faithful and we are excited to be able to tell you about it in 2010 i sensed him speaking to me that his will was to develop aymi into a much greater tool for his purposes but their was one condition even though this was his will he couldn t do this because our foundation was too shallow and he told me that we needed to change that think of it like a building the height you can build a building above the ground is in direct proportion to the depth of its foundation shallow foundation short building deep foundation tall building then the father gave me the areas that we needed to `deepen if we were going to be ready for this time of building he had planned we had to be deeper in the area of prayer and this is when we started the email prayer ministry which now has over 1200 people who have signed up saying they will pray for us we needed to be deeper in the area of team development processes job descriptions and policies which we have been working on for a year and are just about completed we needed to be deeper in the area of financial administration and so we hired a consultant with an mba to completely redo all of our financial practices and policies we needed to be deeper in the area of strategic planning and so we have begun the process of having all of our ministries involved in individual and corporate planning these are just a few of the areas the father has told us to change and as you can see these 2 years have been busy the last area the father spoke to us about deepening was building a larger team of people who would support us financially each month he told us to find a team of 300 people individuals families churches youth groups businesses etc that will support us on a monthly basis and we are presently at 82 with this last piece in place we believe that we will have honored and obeyed the lord in all he has asked us to do and he will have the foundation he needs to use aymi in even greater ways would you consider helping us with this last part of the foundation the back of this letter is a form that you can fill out to begin your support of aymi through gideon s army all we ask of you is 1 thing please take a moment to pray about this and whatever the father speaks to you simply obey that many have said that their support would be too small to make any difference but the truth is that any size of the monthly donation matters if you are being obedient the lord can take your obedience and multiply it greatly it really is a new day at aymi thanks to everyone who has supported us in the past it means a lot we invite everyone to join with us to see what god will do through us in the years to come god bless larry e moore executive director aymi bay#8 3530 11a st ne calgary ab canada t2e 6m7 1.877.356.0707 1.403.717.0709 www.aymi.ca office@aymi.ca

legacy one continued from front how do you put into words seeing the vision god laid before you come into fruition our recent trip to crowsnest pass gave us the opportunity to do just that we were blessed with the opportunity to hold a workshop in a public high school then invite students back to their school that evening and share the gospel of christ with them there we were in a public high school auditorium sharing the gospel to around 100 students and almost the whole auditorium emptied as everyone came forward when we gave the chance to respond to the love of christ we saw somewhere around 15-20 students proclaim jesus as their lord and savior for the first time that night we were then able to connect them to the local youth pastor to continue their journey praise jesus please continue to pray for legacy one as we head out to vancouver on march 2 to perform for delegates from every school district in bc this is an amazing opportunity and we are praying god continues to grant us favour in proclaiming his gospel to students we connect with in schools all across canada greg denie legacyonedirector 4 0 3 7 0 2 4 8 4 4 greglegacyone c a w w w legacyone c a no guts no glory jesus said in this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties but take heart i have conquered the world john 16 33 msg whenever we go through a tough time we can feel that `weight of the world pressing down on us it can be easy for us to forget the promises and help that are available to us in jesus we need to learn to keep an eternal perspective often people may perceive short-term missions to be a group holiday or an excuse to ask others people to fund a getaway when jesus called his disciples he asked them to lay aside what they were doing and follow him later he told them that if anyone wanted to come after him they needed to deny themselves pick up their cross and follow him matt 16:24 it would have been amazing to walk with jesus when he was a man on this earth that opportunity was made available to many who followed him but it also came with a very high price attached to it the call to discipleship and missions is one filled with adventures and the miraculous but it is also coupled with difficulty as well even the disciples and jesus faced a lot of difficulty together let s face it life is filled with difficulty i would rather face persecution and hardship with jesus than face life and its realities without him he is the solution and we all desperately need him in our lives it is such an amazing opportunity for us to be able to walk with jesus as his spirit is very alive and well on earth today not only do we have his life filling our need he has given us his promises and hope to share to a world that is hurting the reality of a missional life is that it is faced with challenges hurts misunderstandings shortage of resources and potential danger however the experience of walking with jesus and seeing what he is doing in our world today far outweighs the challenges that come with the call psalms 34:19 says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord will deliver him out of them all through street invaders we want to live in the call that jesus has put out for any who would be a disciple and to show others the love hope and truth we have found in him we are praying and planning for an amazing year with 4 international missions and 12 ­ 14 missions across canada our location and program dates for this summer are saskatchewan july 22nd to aug 12th british columbia aug 5th to 19th québec aug 5th to 19th please visit our website for more information on our program ben kostamo street invaders report associ at edirectorofministries 4 0 3 7 1 7 0 7 0 7 b e n ay m i c a w w w streetinvaders c a
