The
ministry of Eagles Wings Disc Golf has begun in 2018. And while I have not been
able to directly be present at any of the programs that we are running, it has
been a blessing to support these events from behind the scenes. Even with just
a few events done this year, ministry is looking like it is moving in a
positive direction.
One
of the tasks that I mentioned in my off season blog post was writing the
curriculum for our major chapel services. At this point in the season, we have
already hosted three chapel services. Each chapel service has seen growth over
the same event last year. There are many more chapel services coming in the
near future as well.
With
the help of a pastor from Kansas that plays disc golf, we have also started a
disc golf devotional series. We have had several people sign up to receive
these devotionals over the weekends of big tournaments. I was even asked to
write a series of three daily devotionals on the topic of rest. These were
already sent out this year.
The
ministry itself is growing. We have brought on a number of new staff over the
past year with more interested parties applying all the time. We have a strong
base of volunteers who have also stepped up allowing the staff to travel less
and invest more time to the necessary tasks at hand.
We
are hosting three big disc golf tournaments this year in Pennsylvania and
Michigan. We will also be helping with the first two PDGA Junior Disc Golf
Major tournaments. I am hoping to be at the PDGA Junior Disc Golf World
Championships, which will be its own event for the first time.
I
have been most blessed this year as I have spent hours working with our Junior
grant program. We have found 6 kids from across the world who are striving to
make a difference in their local disc golf community. Now, we will support them
as they go to play in one of the two Major disc golf tournaments for Juniors. I
will be working hard to promote these kids and the work that they are doing.
Please
be sure to keep praying for the ministry of Eagles Wings Disc Golf. As we grow
there are lessons to be learned. We continue to seek to improve our
communication as a team as well as to the families who are interested in our
programs. We are also presented with more and new ideas for new programs to
pursue. We desire God’s wisdom to know what we should and should not chase
after at the present time. Thank you so much for your prayers.
