I Am New
A personal message from Joe Keim
Greeting
s to you in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who abolished death, and brought everlasting life and immortality to light through the Gospel (II Timothy 1:10).
With this web site, it is our desire to clearly communicate the mission statement, ministries, doctrine, and principles of Mission to Amish People. In the following pages, we have included those things which should be of greatest interest to the fellowship of believers who form part of this ministry through their prayers and giving, and to those who may be inquiring.
We have no purpose for self-promotion and have no ambition except that of obeying the Lord’s will. Although we have experienced a good measure of God’s blessing in our endeavors, we are not indispensable to the growth of His kingdom. If we were to perish tomorrow, it would not in any way hinder the mighty advance of His will, nor diminish the increase of His harvest. We exist and bear fruit only because of God’s gracious purpose (John 15:16). He is not served by human hands, as though He needed anything (Acts 17:25). He will make His Name great among the nations (Malachi 1:11) with or without us.
Although we have this sure confidence in the Lord’s character and decree, we are not unaware of the times, nor are we without passion. To tarry is to miss out on the greatest open door the Church has ever known. It is not a time for small visions, narrow minds, and tight spirits, but a time for boldness, courage, and dependence upon the faithful promises of God. It is a time for taking up crosses, counting things lost, and following the Master.
For all these reasons and more, Mission to Amish People is trusting God for His all-sufficient grace that we might be of some useful service to the Master in this greatest of all endeavors. May we be found faithful until the Lord’s standard is raised on every continent, in every nation, and among every people. May God’s good providence fulfill His every promise to gather a people for His Son and to make His Name great among the nations!
So, welcome dear friend. Please make yourself at home and enjoy your stay. If you should have any questions, please don't hestitate to contact us.
Let's grow together!
Joe Keim
I Am New"Ever since you were here in Ypsilanti, we have been enjoying your letters and we do pray for your group and you as well at leased once a week. We select 2 or 3 missionary prayer cards every morning for our devotions and pray for each one. Thank you again for your devotion to your ministry. It's obvious to us that God has given you a tremendous burden and the STRENGTH to endure."
