DIRECTOR’S BLUEPRINT
Entering into the Advent Season
As we enter into the Advent Season of the Coming of Christ, we long for the
emergence of God’s Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven. In fact we are
instructed to pray for it (Matt 6:10) in Jesus’ instruction to his disciples.
This past week I saw signposts or manifestations of God’s love while attending
the six home dedications in White Sulphur Springs, WV. Six families received
the keys to their new home before Thanksgiving in response to last summer’s
ravaging floods! What delight! I wish all of you could have been there when we
ceremoniously cut the ribbon and the families walked up the steps into their
new home. In fact you were there, no, maybe not in person, but with you
contributions, prayers and support. May Christ be our Light.

MDS Executive Director
