2018 Annual Report from Pastor Sally

We say that time flies, 2018 is over and 2019 is here. When I reflected back on 2018, as in life, there was things planned and unplanned, God opening doors and closing doors, trials and tribulations, Joys and sorrows, but most important seeing God's hand move and guide us thoughout it all. I was reminded as Solomon, without Christ there is nothing and each and every day His Grace and Mercy is NEW. I have so much to share and testify of the Glory of the Lord in our Ministry of Hearts and Hands for Jesus and Harvest Tabernacle.

            In closing I am excited to be a servant of the Living God, filled with Hope and Wonder of 2019. Paul says, “I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do—it is my one aspiration: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the {supreme and heavenly} prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. Here am I Lord, Send Me!
 
            May God continue to use our Hearts and Hands together as we Proclaim Jesus!
 
 
In Christ,
Crosby and Pastor Sally Johnson
