REPLENISH PRAISE REPORT
A group of TNMN ministers made their way to Lake LBJ, outside Austin, Texas, September 30 – October 3, for a time of soul care, to replenish their hearts, minds, and spirits. It was incredible to witness these men, burdened by the pressures of ministry and the weight of uncertainty, experience God moving in their lives. He brought together the right pastors and missionaries at the right time to encounter His presence, to replenish their vision, and to reaffirm the purpose He has for them.
We were blessed with amazing meals, meaningful conversations, praying together, and moments to reflect on God’s goodness and His steadfast love for us. Through thoughtful questions and personal assessments, God gently peeled back the layers of our hearts, like an onion, revealing areas that might hinder our effectiveness in winning the lost and making disciples. In this process, He gave us clarity, a renewed spirit, and a fresh calling to replenish not only ourselves but those we serve.
Each morning was a gift: watching the sunrise over the lake, riding jet skis, boating, enjoying coffee and snacks, and even watching baseball and football together, simply soaking in God’s presence alongside fellow pastors. It was a wonderful, restorative time, and we are grateful for every moment.
Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and for this incredible experience of being truly replenished.
