Luke 10:2 The Harvest is Ripe

Grow Your Own Food- Make Disciples!


Merry Christmas from the Riordans!
Merry Christmas from the Riordans! We are all in one place now in North Carolina and can celebrate life together. Above pictured is my 60th birthday party on June 25th. I'm still young at heart and surrounded by a fun and loving family!
 
I will remember the works of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.
Psalm 77:11-12 NKJ

Oh Come Let Us Adore Him...remembering the birth of Jesus!

Yes yes- we all agree the December 25th is not likely the date of Jesus birth. So what- as for me and my house we choose to remember with awe and gratitude that God sent His only begotten Son to save us from our sins by taking our sins upon Himself!

Consider also Zechariah's exultation about Jesus and John the Baptist- Jesus's fore runner.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
    for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them.
69 
He has raised up a mighty savior[a] for us
    in the house of his servant David,
70 
as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 
    that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
72 
Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors,
    and has remembered his holy covenant,
73 
the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham,
    to grant us 74 that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies,
might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness
    before him all our days.
76 
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
    for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 
to give knowledge of salvation to his people
    by the forgiveness of their sins.
78 
By the tender mercy of our God,
    the dawn from on high will break upon[b] us,
79 
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Luke 1: 69-79 NRSV

Wow- that 's allot for us to be in awe and gratitude for. Thank You Lord for Jesus! Our family remembers your works oh Lord and we remember your wonders of old. We talk of your great deeds, especially giving us our savior Jesus!

Merry Christmas!

I staked out a 50x100 sunny area on our property where we plan on planting our garden in Spring. Included in that area will be a 20x50 greenhouse along with planting beds for growing food storage crops.
Grow Your Own Food
What to do in the Garden Now
....continued.
7- Reclarify your vision for the food garden. Even with all my years of farming experience I still need to reclarify the vision for our food garden. Unlike our farm in upstate NY where we sold our crops to restaurants and roadside to raise funds for our ministry- this time around we plan to grow food in a large garden- for sustenance - for our family and missionary team- and to teach others how to grow and preserve food, The first garden plot I staked out is 50x100. I'll update you with planting plans as we go forward
Operation Make Disciples ... and baptize them in our hot tub


“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Luke 10:2



Our 3 Part Disciple Making Goal is to:

  1. Reach out to neighbors with cookies and the Gospel
  2. Hit our local park and pray for people
  3. Bring them back to our new house to disciple and baptize them- to show hospitality with pancake breakfasts and fellowships.
Our Missionary Team
We all met at evangelism training school and are ready to put it into action now!
The Beck's are a godlly spirit filled family with a deep desire to evangelize and make disciples. They own a bus called Big Zeal and after helping us establish our home discipleship ministry plan on hitting the road as missionaries to the American people. They recently beat Covid with prayer - and God given natural helps including nebulizing with H202.( Don't try this at home without doctors direction) https://www.georgekramermd.com/hydrogenperoxide/

We don't look so much like this anymore but it's the easiest picture I could find on our computer- I'm a pastor, an herbalist and a farmer-
Dawn is an awesome woman of God who homeschooled our 3 children. She has a teaching gift and now has a passion to disciple younger women- look out for her Titus 2 youtube channel coming soon
