January STORM Report: New Year, New Opportunities? No images? Click here Volume 10 No. 1 "Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!" —Psalm 90:17 New Year, New Opportunities? As we press on into 2021 and turn our attention toward what is normally the time for Short-Term Mission planning, we are mindful that there are still so many COVID-related unknowns. Pray with us that the Lord opens up opportunities to serve Him in short-term missions this summer. The Lord is Working in Wildwood by Tom Pfeil One day, while we were open air preaching on the Wildwood boardwalk, two young boys, about the age of 10, stopped to listen to the open-air preacher. I watched as they stood there listening and decided to introduce myself. They seemed confused as to what the preacher said, so I pulled them aside and sat down with them. After asking several questions, I wondered if they truly understood what it was to be a believer. They struggled to answer when asked, “What is the Gospel?” Five months ago David Bowles and his mother were very unexpectedly put out of their home by rising floodwater. It may be a distant memory for most of us, but they need help to get back into their home! Tropical Storm Isaias Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic:
