September. I’ve heard many people say this is their favorite month. It is a time when temperatures begin to drop, having experienced the heat of August.
Some say they’re happy to have an extra day off from work or school on Labor Day. But let us not forget to celebrate the fact that many of us have very good jobs and thank God for them on Labor Day. In the same spirit, it’s important for us who are in school to thank God for the opportunity to get a great education here in our country.
For some of us, we may be thinking of the season of harvest. Many of us don’t have fields to combine, but we may have gardens, and we’re grateful to God for what harvest we may be able to reap. Lin and I always have a time of thanks-giving at the dinner table when we have our evening meal. I have always been grateful for farmers who have labored diligently so that we might have food on our tables.
Let’s be reminded of Jesus’ words (Luke 10:2): “The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few, pray to the Lord of harvest that he might send more laborers into the harvest.”
As the weather changes, we need to be reminded that time is passing and our work here on earth is extremely important, helping the Lord gather souls into heaven. Keep working until Jesus returns.
I also want to mention one other thing about September, it is suicide prevention month in our country. Let’s not forget that we all have friends who struggle, and some may be tempted to consider suicide as their only choice. Be a friend to folks who are struggling because you may only be one person trying to make a difference in this world. But you can always be the difference to one person in the world. Keep trying to be that one person who makes a difference in someone else’s life.
Seeking God‘s best,
Pastor Steve Tufts, Interim Pastor

Proclaiming and demonstrating the Good News of Jesus
Throughout the gospels, we see how Jesus offered the Good News through his words (announcing the kingdom of God) and performing visible signs of this kingdom (John 14:11). His mission included proclaiming the Kingdom of God and demonstrating the Good News through social actions: healing the sick, feeding the hungry, standing up for justice, and proving his authority over creation through miracles.
We envision Asian American students and communities whose lives have been transformed, who are growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ, embracing the value of their culture, and joining in faithful proclamation and demonstration of God’s Kingdom. We are mobilizing movements of Asian Americans who are coming together, fully surrendered, actively engaged in God’s work on earth, fulfilling the great commandment and the great commission.
