where else can we go?
I love how the Lord draws us to Himself as we read and study His Word. Psalm 119 uses all 176 verses to describe how much David recognizes his need for the Word of God. “Your Words Are Wonderful (Psalm 119) by Sovereign Grace Music has been a great encouragement to me as I reflect on all the ways God’s Word brings life. If you’ve never heard the song before, I encourage you to listen to it and ask God to grow your love for his Word, because where else can we go? (Listen here)
As we head out for vacation today, we wanted to update you on how the Lord has been working through the Pathways ministry.
Scott had an eventful trip at the end of May to Asia. He was able to train 3 groups of pastors in 2 countries and was on a total of 14 planes. Praise God he never had any major lower back issues as he struggles with chronic lower back pain. Each of the 3 groups were different in how they received the training, but he and his training partner (Larry Lewis) were able to see each group and each pastor progress. That makes all the travel and effort worth it!
I enjoyed facilitating 4 women’s workshops during the month of June. I was thrilled to have 2 women help with the training at 3 of the 4 workshops (Galadriel Miller and Jenn Droll). The Lord has been so gracious to draw women to this ministry who love the Word and want others to have the opportunity to learn and progress in godliness. It was exciting to offer for the first time, the 2 Timothy workshop for women in central Iowa. We praise God for how He is working and are excited to see how He continues to grow this ministry.

Partnering Together,
Scott and Laura Carter
