This is Amazing Grace

Amazed
This Is Amazing Grace
Verse 1
Who breaks the power
of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty
and so much stronger
The King of Glory
the King above all kings
Verse 2
Who shakes the whole earth
with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless
in awe and wonder
The King of Glory
the King above all kings
Chorus
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh Jesus I sing for
all that You’ve done for me
Verse 3
Who brings our chaos
back into order
Who makes the orphan
a son and daughter
The King of Glory
The King of Glory
Verse 4
Who rules the nations
with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in
all of its brilliance
The King of Glory
the King above all kings
Bridge
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King

who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King
who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy worthy worthy

You dance over me
While I am unaware
You sing all around
But I never hear the sound

With miracles in mind
My hope will always stand

Missionary of the Month
Steve & Mendi Everett
Steve and Mendi have been serving with ABWE since 2001. For 10 years of that time they lived and served in southern Brazil assisting in church planting as well directing a retreat center called Sitio da Esperança. This property was used to offer “like-minded” churches in the area a place for retreats, baptisms, sporting events, training opportunities and classes, Bible study groups, and family events. It was a great way for churches to encourage their flocks and grow in their fellowship. It also was a great way to evangelize through sporting tournaments, youth rallies, and youth/adult retreats.
They are now based in Salem, OR and have an emphasis on partnering with Brasilian ministry workers to further the gospel reach worldwide. They are partnering with them in an effort to reach further into their communities or the communities they work in through teaching English, running sports camps, construction projects, offering specific training modules, or anything else within the skill sets the Lord has given them that aids in reaching others for the Lord. Their desire is to allow their national partners dictate what type of help and ministry is needed.
As a bonus, they get to share these things with churches in the US in hopes of inspiring and encouraging Christians to jump on board with what God is doing around the world. And by “jumping on board” they mean by going on short-term missions trips or contributing financially towards these ministries and national partners.
Steve’s Mom and Grandma are both former members of First Baptist Church. Mendi is also a former member, and attended First Baptist in her jr. high and high school years, so they both have long time ties to this church.
To make a one-time gift (love offering) to the Everetts, you may choose “missionary of the month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here.
Alternatively, you may visit their ABWE giving page.
