Shout to the Lord
The Stand
Lord I Need You
Shout to the Lord
Verse 1
My Jesus my Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath all that I am
Never cease to worship You
Chorus
Shout to the Lord
All the earth let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy
At the work of Your hands
Forever I’ll love You
Forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise
I have in You
The Stand
Verse 1
You stood before creation
Eternity in Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand
Verse 2
You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand
Pre-Chorus
So what can I say
And what can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
Verse 3
So I’ll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
My life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand
Chorus
So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
Lord I Need You
Verse 1
Lord I come I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart
Chorus
Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev’ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
Verse 2
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Bridge
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus You’re my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus You’re my hope and stay
Bridge
Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev’ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You

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.
