Good-bye Until September 2016!

"We reach a certain stage of fellowship with Christ, in spiritual apprehension and moral attainment, and find great joy in it. But this seems to fade, until we become conscious that we are called to something higher. The Lord is gone before us to prepare the next resting-place. Then everything depends upon our response. We may stay where we are, becoming more and more torpid in spirit. Or we may, in Paul's phrase, "press on." If we do this, we find the Lord meeting us and leading us to the next resting-place." - William Temple

What an incredible year this has been! There is nothing more satisfying, both spiritually and emotionally, than helping spread the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. It is our deep love for Our Lord and Savior that motivates and energizes us to, as Paul declared, "press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

And you, beloved followers of our ministry blog, have played a huge part, too. You have kept us inspired, energized, and on our toes throughout the year. We extend our sincerest gratitude for allowing us the opportunity to share His Word on a regular basis with you. Thank you!!

I cannot thank enough all of the staff, ministry members, and wonderful writers who have contributed their time, talent, and love for Christ; all of whom help make our blog possible. Woo-hoo! Awesome job, ladies! But now comes the hardest part...saying good-bye to you for the summer.

As we have done for the past several years, our ministry blog takes a summer hiatus until September. It is a well-deserved, temporary break from our online responsibilities. By doing this, we allow our ministry the extra time to undertake other pursuits, such as: presenting and/or participating in conferences, teaching, and working in partnerships, among many others.

We, here at The Coffeehouse Bible Ministry have been blessed in so many ways. The Holy Spirit has always been kind to us, providing a gentle nudge, or word when we need it. I pray that He will continue to guide and support our ministry with mercy and grace.

During our time away, our archives will be available to use as God moves you. We look forward to return refreshed, and ready to go this September. Until then, on behalf of all of us here at The Coffeehouse Bible Ministry, we wish you a happy, safe, and blessed summer!

On behalf of all of us, God bless you!

~Eve
