Friends!
Thank you so much for visiting the blog of the (very near future) Mr and Mrs Caton, serving with YWAM in Boston. We created this blog for many reasons; one is that the Lord is doing so much here in New England and it's so hard to tell all these stories in our newsletters; two is that we want to share and encourage you in your walk with Jesus with stories of his grace and provision in our lives as well as the people we meet. Thirdly we want to be open and real with you about all the Lord is doing in us personally and the journey he has us both on; walking into marriage and still journeying in ministry together is challenging and wonderful and we hope by sharing this we will encourage you to also share with us so we can lift each other up in prayer. The word instructs us to "encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sins deceitfulness" (Hebrews 3:13). As brothers and sisters in Christ let us lift one another up, share with one another, and encourage one another in love.
Anyway :) That was not meant to be the start of a mini sermon but I got carried away. So what has been happening since we returned from Indiana?
Jesus answered our prayer and has provided a building for our ministry; up until now we have had buildings but none have really fit our ministry and what we need. Two weeks ago we leased a wonderful office space; we have space for our band to practice, to host community worship nights, not mentioned office space so we all have a space to work! :) A blessing considering many of our offices used to be in our homes! So praise God for his provision :)
Our staff at YWAM Boston has increased 19! 6 came 3 years ago and the Lord has multiplied us not only in numbers but also in the gifts they bring and the impact we can now have in New England.
As things change, we are all in transition. Our next DTS will be running from the Fall 2010 and until then our ministry will be experimenting with new ways to reach our city for Jesus.
It is an exciting and risky time!
We will keep you all posted
Thank your for reading
