The Start of a Journey!

"Happy June" to Everyone!

Time flies when you are having a good time...and we are having a good time!

We begin a little road trip tomorrow that will take us through a couple of states, into meetings with individuals and groups of people, and we will be making new friends along the way!
We are "...Christ's ambassadors..." (II Corinthians 5:20) first and foremost, and then we are "ambassadors" for Stadia International-Jonathan Project. When you are an "ambassador" you must be out meeting the folk on behalf of those you represent. We have had the privilege of meeting some of the nicest people. These people are not only "nice" they are keenly interested in making a difference for Jesus Christ however and whenever they can! We discover ourselves in a wonderful intersection! Jesus is the "main street" (if you follow my analogy) and "we His people" are the "cross streets!" And when and where the two intersect we have all kinds of good things happening.

What are some of "those good things" that are happening?

• As people discover that they can actually make a difference in an Unreached People Group they get excited. And you know the secret...you can make a difference also as you are intersected with Jesus Christ!
• As people understand the healing power the Gospel brings to people who have never heard of Jesus, they want to get involved...someway...somehow! That is an "intersection" with Jesus.
• As people see the fulfillment of the Great Commission they anticipate the return of Jesus Christ! That leads to deeper spirituality. Anything "deeper" with the Lord is an "intersection!"

As we watch all this we are moved! It drives us! The Gospel "compels" us! We cannot help ourselves! So as we travel telling HIS story and our story, making friends, united together in the common project of telling the Good News about Jesus Christ, we are discovering a fulfillment and a peace as together we rest and move in the Lord Jesus!

If you want to know more about what is happening, you can contact us at: gjessup@stadia.cc or you can call: 714.488.7922. It would be our privilege to talk to you about this global venture of getting the Gospel out to the Nations and watching and sharing with you that "great intersection" of relationship with Jesus Christ!

Peace!

Graydon and Judy Jessup

P.S. We had an absolutely fabulous time at the dedication service of Grace Korean's Vision Center this past Sunday, May 31, 2009.
