PROCLAMATION
“If anyone ever asked me how I ended up the intern at Returning Glory, my answer would have to be this, ‘God ignited a fire in my heart whenever I heard about or saw the ministry that takes place here.’ The passion I feel is the same passion that ignites when I follow the call of God to share His Word with the world. How beautiful to find a ministry that takes relationships and makes them center to healing, hope and restoration. And lets be honest, who doesn’t love horses? They are foreign, beautiful, and slightly dangerous and yet gracefully gentle. It is a cool ministry that allows us to work with them. But this ministry is so different from other ministries, it forces one to listen to the Spirit of God to speak truth, it takes the uncomfortable, un-patterned route of relational ministry. I have been called to missions and my life will be patterned through the work of the Church. But I believe God called me here to take me from the religious patterns, the familiar and at times comfortable places of ministry and pulpits, of Bible studies and Sunday school (as full of God as they are) and put me into a ministry that required me to move into the unpredictable, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable. God put me in the place of prophets and teachers before me that had to listen to silence, suffering, and even bones to hear the Word of the Lord, except here at Returning Glory I hear it through the Spirit of God speaking through a horse. Every avenue of this ministry from mucking stalls to laughing with a child requires me to open my heart and hear the Spirit speak truth. After all it is hard to not listen when it is burning a passion in my heart.”
