Mission Maker Season

For those of you who have been reading this from the beginning, you knew this was coming. Mission Maker 2008.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here is a relatively brief description:

Mission Maker Magazine is an annual publication which we (STEM Int'l) create. In fact the only aspect we don't have complete control of is what the ads look like. (Unfortunately cause we can get some horrible looking ads.) Anyway, the magazines purpose statement is "to glorify God by helping to equip the global mission community for Great Commission teamwork." Basically it's a magazine geared to those who are interested in Missions and supplies articles, books, and organizations to help further God's Great Commission.

This is the fourth year of it's existence and God has blessed me by using me to create it's initial design. Not a small undertaking. Over the years it has gotten much better since the addition of Dena (bigD) STEM's other designer. With both of us working on it's design, God has truly blessed our creativity.

So what's the purpose of me telling you all this?

Well, in the past whenever it has come into Mission Maker season, I work on nothing but the mag, which includes this blog. But this year will be different. We have been able to start MUCH earlier this year and I won't be nearly as bogged down as I have been in the past. That's not to say that I won't work every day nearly all day on the magazine, but I most likely won't have to take it home and work. THANK YOU LORD!

In the mean time, would you please pray for the production of the mag as well as my health. (I can't seem to shake this horrible bug.) Thanks guys!
