24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. – Hebrews 10:24-25 (ESV) Students, staff families, and volunteers gathered for a group photo after the annual welcome picnic.

Hebrews 10 verse 24-25 is one of my Favorite verses in the Bible. I will explain what this verse is about from heartlight.org
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We need each other. We cannot make it on our own. God calls us to get together regularly to encourage and motivate each other in Christ to live vibrant lives of service to each other and faith in him. With the day of Jesus' return and our ultimate victory on the horizon, we should be even more motivated to help and encourage each other. And as the Spirit of God reminds us in our passage today, we need to consider and plan how best to help spur each other along to love and good deeds.

On the front lines of ministry? REACH is designed for your encouragement! Over 120 breakout sessions give you an opportunity to learn from and talk with experienced people in their fields. Register now and clear your calendar for a time of deep refreshment on March 13 & 14! [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1022973816532370&set=pcb.1022973873199031] REACH is a bi-annual event hosted by Faith Builders. The lines between Faith Builders staff and TI students blur as everyone works to provide a place for nonprofit ministries, churches, and individuals to connect with each other and learn more about those ministries. We are honored to be able to assist up to 2,500 guests navigating the two-day event as they attend sessions, talk over lunch and between sessions, and continue to build the ministry and vision for service. REACH brings together Christian workers from all walks of life. Farmers, businessmen, and young men and women share the vision and link arms with missionaries in Belize, food distributors in Ukraine, school teachers in city missions, teachers and students in Bible institutions, chiefs in boys’ camps, and producers and distributors of Christian literature. We pray that this gathering of people and the resulting outflow of ministry will bring glory to God and see the furtherance of His purposes for our time. REACH includes main sessions, a range of breakout session topics, ministry focus sessions, a ministry display hall, and an opportunity to spend time connecting with new and old friends. |
My Prayer...
Lord God, thank you for giving me a Christian family to encourage and motivate me to serve others. Please use me to bless others when we gather in Jesus' name and praise you. I ask for the Holy Spirit's help to know how best to encourage and inspire my brothers and sisters in Christ to join me in doing good deeds and loving each other. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I pray to be a more encouraging person, one known for building others up in Jesus. It is in his name, and for his glory I live and pray. Amen.

Kingdom Fellowship Weekend is an annual gathering, typically held the last weekend of August in south-central Pennsylvania. It serves as a forum for Biblical edification focusing on spiritual renewal, fervent prayer, and absolute surrender to our King, Jesus. We are committed to a Christian expression that is Christ-centered, Scripture-anchored, and kingdom-focused, specifically as modeled by the Anabaptist tradition. [PHOTO SOURCE: https://kingdomfellowship.org/] |
Hebrews 10 verse 24-25 are bible verses used by the Anabaptist groups to support the use of a Gospel community.
One of the Amish 4 core values is community. Here is what they believe:
The spirit of the Amish lifestyle is exhibited through their strong sense of dedication and love for their church communities. They believe that community is at the heart of their life and faith and that the way to salvation is to live as a loving community separate from the world.
Since the Amish separate themselves from the rest of society, their communities are a unique support system. Community members will freely give of their time and their skills to help one another. A good example of community support is an Amish barn raising. The community comes together to help a family build a barn. The effort often involves several men who build the barn, as well as many women who feed the workers. These barns are a steadfast reminder of Amish tradition, community, and craft coming together to work as one.
Whether it’s raising a barn, offering wisdom to fellow community members, consoling a family that is suffering a loss, or providing financial assistance, the members of the community support each other. Dependence on the church community is very strong, and church members are urged to help each other in everyday life and in times of difficulty or disaster.

We know ministry can be
heavy and lonely at times and so the first day of REACH focuses particularly on
those in ministry. What do they need for encouragement? How can they serve in
healthy, sustainable ways? [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=997557555740663&set=pb.100064592837529.-2207520000&type=3] REACH is a bi-annual event hosted by Faith Builders.

The truth is even the other anabaptist groups like the Beachy Amish-Mennonites, Conservative Mennonites and Hutterites all follow the Four core values of the Amish, that is why they have large families, with an average of four children each. They also get together often with their church friends like a herd of elephants, whether it is a church service, bible study, barn raising or social events.

As Bruderhof Founder, Eberhard Arnold was quoted as saying in his writings:
 |
“We must live in community because we are stimulated by the same creative Spirit of unity who calls nature to unity and through whom work and culture shall become community in God.” — Eberhard Arnold [PHOTO SOURCE: https://quotefancy.com/quote/2524238/Eberhard-Arnold-We-must-live-in-community-because-we-are-stimulated-by-the-same-creative] BLOG: https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2023/07/140th-birthday-for-eberhard-arnold-july.html https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2024/11/plain-people-and-mutual-aid-why-we-live.html I will post sermons from different pastors preaching on Hebrews 10 verse 24-25. Just a disclaimer, these sermons are not for comparing whose sermon was the best or worst, they preached differently on the verses but all of them did a good job. I will also post photos of Anabaptist groups to remind us of community.

The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things.

"If you want to go QUICKLY go ALONE. If you want to go FAR, go TOGETHER" - African Proverb [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152880856398718&id=376908203717&set=a.10150089765523718] Meaning: When you work alone or on your own, you have the luxury of not having to wait for anyone or needing anyone's approval to get things done, thus you are able to work fast. But the question is how far can you go on life working alone? Going far requires the support of others. With teamwork, you have others to let you know when you are going the wrong way, to lift you up when you fall, to encourage you when you are in despair, and to carry you when you're worn out. But sometimes you can't help but to work alone because the others are either uncooperative or have different values. Country's Proverb: Gambia |

Amish men standing up together [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.amishfurniturefactory.com/amishblog/how-do-the-amish-handle-conflict/] “There are two explanatory factors: one is large families, and the second is high retention rates,” said Professor Steven Nolt, Director and Senior Scholar at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College. “If you looked at the 1930s, up through about 2000, the retention rate had actually increased. There’s a case study that showed that the retention rate went from the upper 70 percent to 90 percent,” he said. https://hoptownchronicle.org/across-the-country-amish-populations-are-on-the-rise/ https://groups.etown.edu/amishstudies/population-2024/ https://amishamerica.com/2024-amish-population-passes-four-hundred-thousand/ |
SOME VIDEOS OF PLAIN ANABAPTIST PREACHING AND CONFERENCE:
Reuben Peachey Amish Minister Oakland,Maryland
Simon Kinsinger (Mountain Reigns)
Jul 28, 2013
Recently the Amish have been taking a bad rap for being traditionalists, yet those who have been the real deal all along practicing what Jesus taught have been ignored. On Thursday July,25,2013 I was pleasantly surprised to hear back to back sermons in the Old Order Amish Church on Mason School Road in Oakland, Maryland at my aunt Bertha Kinsinger Zook's funeral that were actually spirit filled,dynamic,articulate,passionate even convincing of the Christian Faith coming from one of several revivalist Old Order Ministers,here is Oakland Maryland Hometown Amish Minister Rueben Peachey. NOTICE he is using no script even reciting scripture from memory.The Amish frown on scripting sermons.Also note how the speaker is mixing in English with the german in order to better appeal to the younger generation.

Schwarzwaldhof [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.faller.de/miniaturwelten/laendliche-idylle/farm-bauernhof/420/schwarzwaldhof?c=122] The Black Forest house (German: Schwarzwaldhaus) is a byre-dwelling that is found mainly in the central and southern parts of the Black Forest in southwestern Germany. It is characterised externally by a long hipped or half-hipped roof that descends to the height of the ground floor. This type of dwelling is suited to the conditions of the Black Forest: hillside locations, broad tracks, high levels of snowfall and heavy wind loading. Individual farms, such as the Hierahof near Kappel, which are still worked today, are over 400 years old. The Black Forest house is described by Dickinson as very characteristic of the Swabian farmstead type. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Forest_house |

EXPERTS SOUND ALARM - Population Disaster IMMINENT - Miriam Cates
53,581 views Dec 7, 2024 #populationdecline #gbnews #birthrate
European birth rates are at an all-time low, with just 3.7 million babies born across the EU last year. Miriam Cates dives into why Europe's baby bust is more than just a demographic issue—it’s a looming economic crisis. With fewer babies born, there will be fewer workers to support an aging population, putting enormous pressure on economies and public services. Watch to understand the cultural and economic implications of this decline and why it matters for the future of Europe and the UK.
