Arise and walk
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ THE LORD and SAVIOR! We are excited as we step into this second month of year 2025, being filled with expectation and faith as God our Father guides us by His Spirit deeper in devotion toward Him and vision for all that He has given us to steward.
The Father has been speaking to us in ways that have left us in awe. In the past 30 to 40 days, we’ve received more clarity and confirmation for this ministry than ever before. As we prepare for our first outreach, we are confident that we are walking in the Spirit. However, this isn’t just about us, it’s about partnering with you, the body of Christ, to fulfill His mission to reach the lost. We’re excited to share a few updates and opportunities to join us in what God is doing.
There is one significant revision for our first outreach. Previously scheduled for April 5th, our outreach in partnership with River of Life Tappahannock will now take place on Saturday, April 19th, just before Resurrection Sunday. This date works better to coincide between their Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday service. We are excited for this partnership and what God will do through our obedience as we proclaim His Gospel on the weekend that statistically generates the most church attendance. (By God’s grace we will see this change as we preach His unadulterated word and He pours out His Spirit).
Another significant update is the mission trip we are leading to McDowell County, WV. We will head to McDowell County on September 28th and return on October 4th. This is in partnership with Rural Compassion who ministers through construction to the poorest community in the USA. We will be coming alongside them to provide both construction assistance and evangelistic efforts. Presently we are working through details but we are attempting work with the one school in the county to provide necessities and receive an open door to minister the word of God to the primary, junior, and high school students in 3 separate services. We are also hoping to have one large gospel campaign to end the week where we invite the entire community. If you are interested in this trip please email me at mmeadows@oneforallmissions.org. The process will include filling out an application, registration, and deposit. There are only 25 slots available.
I want to take this moment to thank you all for your support and prayers. You have no idea how much they mean to us. Your prayers are essential to keep this mission moving forward, and we are deeply grateful for your partnership in the gospel.
I also want to encourage you to take a step of faith and get involved. The Church is the Body of Christ, and as His body, we were never called to be bedridden. Instead, Christ said, “Arise, and walk.” We are called to live, move, and abound in the work of the Lord; carry out His mission.
Here are two ways you can allow your faith to act:
Generosity: Our vision exceeds our current provision, but we know that God will provide. I want to invite you to be part of this journey. Your giving is not just meeting needs, it’s sowing into lives being changed by the gospel. You can click the link in this email and start partnering financially today.
Join the Team: We have many campaigns planned, and with them come opportunities to serve God not only in the Church but as the Church. Whether through outreach, prayer, or logistics, your role is vital.
Together, as the Body of Christ, we can arise and walk into the work He has called us to. Thank you for believing in this mission and for being part of the movement.
By His grace and for His glory,
Matthew Ausby Meadows
