Series: A Study of Joshua: Strong. Courageous. Faith

Title: Crossing The Jordan

Scripture: Joshua 3

Notetaking booklets for the new series are available in the foyer

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you

into the Jordan. Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of

Israel, one man from every tribe. And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the

feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in

the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that

come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap.

Egypt: Gideon 300 Pastoral Ministry Grace Church is excited to have sent Matthew

Palmer & David Burke to Egypt. They are part of a team who will train 300 young pastors

from all over Egypt, with a goal to start a gospel movement. May God take these pastors

who are excited to grow to radical level impacting their own lives and the 300 churches

they represent . The trip, also includes sharing with people a biblical way to believe, act

and live with Jesus, which is a vast contrast to their cultural custom. This has the

potential to impact 60,000 lives in Egypt and create a new generation of Christian

leaders, and be the start of a real revival in Ministry leaders, the church, and in the

country. Additionally, they will participate in leading a business-man outreach, time with

terminally ill children / families, and encouraging the team of Egyptian chaplains, who we

have been in partnership with for over 20 years but have never seen. There is a financial

balance of $6,000 to fully fund the pastoral conference and ministry. Also, David and

Matthew’s expenses total $7,500. If you are led to give, designate Egypt. “By the three

hundred men…I will save you.” Judges 7.

as Savior or desired to follow Him more closely. Contact Rick (rvanpuffelen@yahoo.com)
