Where's Troupe

|
Our boy is quickly becoming
manly.
Averaging nearly an inch a month
over the past three, growing tall
seems to be the theme this year. His
days (and nights) are filled with
school, music, church and friends.
Lately he is busy practicing for
Douglas Anderson auditions
for band and piano. DA is a
nationally acclaimed
Arts Magnet High School with a
history of fostering academic
excellence as well. Troupe really
wants to make the most of this
chance. So please pray with us about
this life choice for him. We were
also very proud of him as his
clarinet skills granted him entrance
for the second straight year into
the All District Honor Band.

Please pray as we consider what is
the best housing situation for our
family. We have lived at this house
since we moved to Jacksonville six
years ago while working for GE.
Thinking we were going oversees to
serve as foreign missionaries, we
planned to sell. Now we have an
unfinished remodel and a soft
housing market. We need much divine
intervention and direction. Thank
you for praying with us about this
very important matter.

Dear Friend,
We are so grateful to be
continuing our work with the
many missionaries of
Calvary International. Thank
you for partnering with us
through your encouragement,
prayers and support. We
literally are doing this work
together. As Director of Member
Care, Roxie and I are
progressing on our big project,
the new Security Management
System. We are likewise
developing training materials
which will be delivered over the
Internet to ensure an even more
careful regard for the lives of
our missionaries. In
Mid-February we have a new group
of Missionary Candidates
participating in their
preparation and orientation (MPO).
This is the initial step in CI's
10-10-10 proven missions
track. Please continue to pray
with us over these new
candidates who are under
pressure as they respond to
God's calling as foreign
missionaries.

Many of Jacksonville's City leaders
are coming together for prayer. (click
video) The fact is that they too
recognize that this city's rampant
crime is a spiritual issue that
requires a spiritual solution. Pray
Jacksonville is one of several God
authored prayer movements in the
city where Calvary International has
its world headquarters. To ignore
the needs of this city while serving
God "to the ends of the earth", is
not consistent with the directive of
Jesus in Acts 1:8, where we are
informed that our empowerment is for
this city
and the rest of the world. |
We celebrated with Pastor Dan Jones
of a North Jacksonville church, at
the re-opening ceremony of their
sanctu.jpg) ary
January 19th. This work was the
culmination of believers coming
together from all over Jacksonville.
Tom, Roxie, Troupe and Calvary
International partnered with Pastor
Dan and his church to unite in
victory. What some meant for evil,
when they set fire to this church
building, God meant for good. And
God is turning ashes into beauty by
placing on our hearts the burden of
this man...to rebuild, recreate and
reclaim that which was destroyed.
Doesn't that sound just like God?
How fitting for a church named
Christ Ministry of Changing Lives.

Tom and Roxie have been part of
12-Step recovery ministry for over
two years now. Initially they became
involved in the hopes of bringing
the ministry back to their own home
church... for people who needed it
(which they did). But they also
quickly realized that Celebrate
Recovery has what we all need...the
truth of the gospel...real liberty
through Jesus Christ, expressed
through the love and acceptance of
others who also share in life's
struggles.
Click video to hear Tom's
personal testimony. He has been
sharing this CR testimony since
completing his second trip through
the eight principles of the
Celebrate Recovery program. If you
take the time to listen, you will
hear of a hope that is simply
irresistible. |

We have been spreading the good news
of the Gospel and covering our city
with prayer. Most every Saturday is
now being utilized to preach,
encourage or intercede to prisoners
inside prison chapels, to the aged
in retirement homes and on the city
streets of our city. (click
video) Joining with many
churches (and many more to
come)...we kicked off this, our
third year the Jacksonville Prayer
Walk. If you are in Jacksonville,
come and prayer walk with us on the
last Saturday of every month. You
will be blessed beyond your
imagination. |

It is our desire that we bless
you by creating an opportunity
for you to partner with us and
reach the nations for Jesus
Christ...
Till Every Tongue Confess.
Grace and Peace
Tom
& Roxie McLeod

Every Tongue Confess
