Creative Ministries - Using the Creative Arts to Share the Gospel

Using the tools of the creative arts - mime, drama, puppets and skits - to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

The News is Still Good !

Fay Nelson

The end of summer for us is always a time that brings a season of prayer, rest and seeking God for His plan for next year. This summer ended with 3 whirlwinds: guests from Cuba, surgery for CliffAnn's mother and Hurricane Irene. Each was life changing.

Our Cuban friends, Cristobal and Mariana Tan, were subjected to 5 days of activity and ministry. We spent a lot of time praying for the church in Cuba and seeking ways to encourage them.

Delivering the Tans to the airport was followed by surgery for CliffAnn's mom. Then Hurricane Irene approached, and life really changed. Irene stalled and focused on our area, bringing havoc and then lingering to bring more.

We were so blessed that neither our homes nor office had any damage. But all around us friends and family were flooded as water rose beyond any level in recorded history.

So why do we say that the news is still good? Because we have seen God at work in our community like never before. People have reached out to help neighbors and strangers alike, and God hs been lifted up as His people have shared their prayers, hearts, possessions and time with each other.

A group of men from Dare Challenge spent a morning at the Meeting House, which had been flooded with 18 inches of water. That opened a door for us to do ministry with them and share resources as we pursue the mutual goal of sharing the Good News.

I'm writing this from a friend's retreat house as we are finally having an opportunity for a time of prayer and rest. And what we have sensed for the past several years seems to be growing stronger - now is the time to share God's Good News as never before, by every means possible and with renewed passion and focus.

And the Good News is that Jesus is still ready to save, heal and deliver. We have the privilege of being spiritual mid-wives as we witness to and pray for people. And then we have a mandate to help disciple those who make that commitment, for the hurricanes of life will continue to come. In the storm, He is there. In the aftermath, He is there. And through it all He loves us.

Our prayer for you is that you will be in His loving peace as you endure your storms, that His voice will be loud and clear, and that His grace will guide you step by step.

"We were visited in Africa by CliffAnn and Fay who have poured out to us love, encouragement and unlimited amounts of practical ministry information. We have not only been affected, but out ministry has been able to flourish and grow as a direct result of our relationship and submission to the godly counsel we are receiving." (Missionary, South Africa)

"I can attest that the visits to Cuba from Creative Ministries have been a great blessing, not only because of the effective ministry of the powerful word of God to children, but also because of the training for the more than 150 teachers who work with children in all our churches in Cuba." (Pastor, Buenas Nuevas Denomination, Cuba)

"You know it's been a good day when my three year old sings the song you shared all the way home from church!" (Parent)
