Pray for the Aspire Ministry – Boerne Team!!

March 15th, 2010

Pastor Mike,

We begin our journey by bringing Aspire to our church, First Baptist Church, Boerne, Tax. Our first class is March 7 2010. Our Team Larry & Becca and Robert & Jackie are very excited how God has made this all possible, with little effort on our part. We prayed as a couple’s and as a team for God to lead us where he wanted us to go. And DID HE! We have partnered with several other ministries to help with the day to day needs, job training, day care, health care, clothing, food assistance, and more, and most of all introducing these single parents to a Father who will never leave them nor forsake them, and loves them forever and ever!

Pray for our leaders and single parents.

Your Brother’s & Sisters in Christ,
Robert, Jackie, Larry & Becca

Aspire Ministry Comes to Boerne, Tx!!

March 15th, 2010

We are excited to announce that Aspire Ministry has launched at First Baptist Church of Boerne!! Welcome to the Aspire family!! Below is an update from Robert Holman, Aspire Board Member & the catalyst for the launch in Boerne.

Pastor Mike,

We had a great turn out for our first class at First Baptist Church, Boerne. We had 5 single parents show up to share ideas. I believe we all walked away with a blessing and we all share the excitement of a new family and look forward to studying God’s word. We had a brief meeting with Pastor Scott and he too was very excited about our plans. There were several ideas that came about such as maybe a camping or hiking trip with the single parents and their children.

Also, a car maintenance program is in our future to show our single parents how to maintain their car, change oil, tires fluids etc. Another great idea shared was to include the children during our Sunday morning worship.

Great things are happening in Texas!!! To bring Aspire to your church, contact us today!!!!

Love you guys!
Pastor Mike

aspire needs you…

December 11th, 2009

we have a true need and we feel that we should share it with all of you. until recently, debbie and i have been able to personally support the majority of funding needed to assist these incredible single parent families which God has placed into our lives. the need has been great, but by His grace we have been able to care for them on our own. however, it has become evident to us that this is a ministry which God wants us to allow others to partner with us as we provide hope to these hurting families. so, we come to you and ask if you’d consider financially partnering with us to meet the needs of these precious lives.

we have been blessed beyond measure by watching the heart of a child open up when they realize that someone will truly love them for them, or watching the hope in the eyes of a mother who knows that she and her children are no longer alone in their struggles.

currently, we have many single moms in particular who are waiting for aspire to help them, but we need your help. please consider joining us in assisting single parents in righteous endeavors. if you have questions or would like to know more about aspireministry, please visit our website or join us on facebook, or call or email me directly. i would love to have the opportunity to talk to you more about partnership opportunities with aspireministry. thank you for your consideration and we look forward to touching these precious lives with you.

Give me free grace or give me legalism

Hey gang, Pastor Mike here,

I can’t believe it! I was asked to write an article about free grace for the 2009 Free Grace Alliance conference held in Dallas, Texas. This is where all the big wigs meet and talk theology. In fact, there are three of my seminary professors going to give talks. Just thought I would share this with you.

Aspirations to all,

Love you guys,

Pastor Mike
