As a brief summary of the blessings of the Lord on The Pines Christian Care Centre, we would like to say that when we are working so hard on developing The Pines, we tend to forget how tremendous this gift of property is for the work of the Lord through Ambassadors. If the Lord had not given us this property, there would be no Pines Christian Care Centre, there would be no missionaries working at The Pines and there would be no hope of helping the children through The Pines. It is amazing when we look at the property and realize that it was only in June 2005 that the Lord gifted Ambassadors with The Pines. When putting a team together to work with such a ministry, one must be sure to place the right people in the right spots. It is such a blessing when one sees a natural fit in ministry and I can say that about the missionaries and the teams that have served at The Pines.

Together we can make a difference and we will make a difference by God’s grace. What we do, we do for His glory alone. As long as we keep our eye on that target we will end up pleasing the Lord. As Pastor David Seefried would say, “to Him belongs the glory.”

The Change Factor – When Paul began his second term of missionary service, he suggested to Barnabas that they return to check up on churches they had previously visited (Acts 15:36). Instead, Paul traveled with Silas rather than Barnabas; he traveled to Macedonia, not Asia; and he met new people rather than visiting friends he had met before. Paul adapted to these changes and continued his successful missionary journeys. In the midst of the present and anticipated changes that surround us, we trust in Christ, whose love and grace never change.
