For those of you who have been with us over the past six months+ you know Kelsey has been leading us in worship. Kelsey is gifted with an amazing voice and a heart for the hurting and broken in our world. Both Kelsey and Tex (plays guitar) headed down to Haiti this past week to help with the relief work. Here is an update from Kelsey in Haiti. Which is quite very Kelsey!…

Hey Red Door, Tuesday went great. There were literally heeps of clothing and we busted through it. Thank you for all who helped. We got completely through the first round of sorting. If you wanted to help out with this sorting and were unable to, don’t you worry yourselves. You can join us in the next sort Saturday July 10, 2010 from 10-3. If you want to get on board let me know at sarah@iamreddoor.org or just comment on the blog.
Hey Guys this is Sarah, I just wanted to let you in on ReThreads…ReThreads is a new free store coming to serve the Fairfield Community. It’s purpose is to simply provide quality free shoes and clothing to those forgotten in our city. Fairfield is in desperate need of a place where the poor and forgotten of our city can come for free clothing they can be proud to wear…and we want to do this together. For the month of June Red Door will be participating in a clothing drive. We will be collecting quality gently used clothing and shoes. There is a special need for brand spankin new undies and socks. No one wants your used under garments…that’s just gross.
The Grand Opening is August 14, 2010. Each time we open it is a one day shopping experience for our community. We would love for you to join us in making this happen.
Here’s how you can get the clothes to us…
Here’s how you can get involved…
If you have any questions about getting the clothes to us or getting involved you can shoot me an email at sarah@iamreddoor.org.
Mark and Michelle Tiderman are an awesome couple with a HUGE heart for God and His Kingdom. It has been a joy to get to know them both as a couple. This past weekend Mark led worship for our first Prayer Gathering at our new location - The Underground. Mark did an incredible job leading our Core Team through worship, prayer, and reading Scripture. It was a joy to serve alongside of him and I am looking forward to more days ahead working with Mark both as a leader and a friend. This week I wanted to take a little bit of time and introduce everyone to this amazing couple…

I am meeting today with an individual who is looking to help us expand and develop Love Covers in a bigger way in Cincinnati. Pray for us as we discuss ways to partner with knitting groups in the Cincinnati area who can contribute time and yarn to knit scarves we can hand out in Downtown and Greater Cincinnati. We also need to develop collection points where scarves can be dropped off each winter. I am excited to see this expand and look forward to the day when every homeless person in Cincinnati has a handmade scarf reminding them they are loved more than they know!

Once you get past the first few minutes of cheeseball (and the tribute to the glorious 90’s music video) the video is amazing, capturing one of the greatest mission stories of our time.
There are still over 1500 unengaged, unreached people groups in the world for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 639 of those people groups have populations over 100,000. Over at finishingthetask.com they have listed these people groups along with statistics of just how unreached they are. Also, check out The Joshua Project which is seeking to bring some clarity and definition to the unfinished task.
“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.
Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It’s the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white hot enjoyment of God’s glory. The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God. “The Lord reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!” (Ps 97:1). “Let the peoples praise thee, O God; let all the peoples praise thee! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy!” (Ps 67:3-4).
But worship is also the fuel of missions. Passion for God in worship precedes the offer of God in preaching. You can’t commend what you don’t cherish. Missionaries will never call out, “Let the nations be glad!” who cannot say from the heart, “I rejoice in the Lord…I will be glad and exult in thee, I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High” (Ps 104:34, 9:2). Missions begins and ends in worship.”
–John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad! The Supremacy of God in Missions
