Update on JMC Ministries

First thing you are probably thinking is, wow this is a change from all the other blogs they have been posting.

Yeah this one is an update on us and how we have been doing. Well first and for most we are having our 2 year wedding anniversary on Tuesday Sept. 22, 2009. So we are planning a road trip for this Friday and Saturday, because on our wedding anniversary we have 2 doctors appointments and also have to do our JMC Ministries LIVE Show. But it will be fun to share our story on the show.

Miranda's health is gradually getting better. She has made a lot of progress in the past year and we pray she continues to get better. Please keep JMC Ministries in your prayers as Miranda continues to deal with her illness and for healing. We will not disclose what Miranda's illness is other than it is debilitating and keeps her from being able to work. But through treatment she is getting better.

Jeremy is still out of a job due to the economy, but thanks to unemployment benefits we have been doing good and Jeremy has been going to interviews much more than a few months ago. So we hope and pray the economy is turning around some and he will be able to get a job soon.

Financially JMC Ministries is doing well, we have in the past month paid off one of our vehicles and the other one will be paid off in 5 months. We have paid off all of Miranda's medical bills but 3, and now due to the fact that we have paid off one of the vehicles we have money to put back for emergencies. The past 2 years for JMC Ministries has been a hard one, but even during those tough times, we have always gave our tithe and offering. And we know that is why God has blessed us. In just 5 months we will be debt free except for 3 medical bills. What a blessing.

This is why you never hear or see JMC Ministries asking for Donations or anything to run the ministry. Because, everything we do is done for free. The websites, music, puppets, Eternal Flame News all the graphics and banners we make. All done for free with free website programs and free software programs. We feel that we shouldn't put a price on God's Ministry and as long as we can do it for free, there is no need to charge. Especially when we don't need the money. What we do need to buy for the Ministry, God has always provided the money. For example, our video camera that we only had for a year broke and luckily we had the money to buy a new and even better one for cheaper than what the original one cost. Along with that we have been able to buy a dvd burner so we can make our own dvd's to distribute. And because of this we have been able to help other ministries by video taping them singing, preacher or sharing about their ministry. then we post those videos on youtube with their permission so that they can share them on their sites, and also make them dvd's so that they can share them. This has actually kept us pretty busy traveling and doing these videos for other ministries. But, we are happy that we are able to help others.

October seems to going to be a busy one. We are working with our Mom to write up some new puppet skits for a Halloween themed Puppet show JMC Ministries will be doing for the Paint Creek State Park here in Ohio for their big halloween bash they throw every year. Our Aunt works for the Park and she is one that is in charge of putting this thing together and she asked us if we would come and do a puppet show for the little kids. Now we don't do scary gory stuff, because this is a ministry. We also have very strong beliefs on NOT promoting witchcraft or sorcery. It is very hard in todays society to do a clean halloween party because everything is about killing, violence and gore. But, we want to rise above what Society is promoting and give children a chance to have a fun time with out giving them nightmares. We will be video taping the whole thing and of course will post it to share with everyone.

We are even working on a special JMC Ministries LIVE show where the Puppets will be hosting it! That we do believe will be awesome! To get some ideas we've been watching alot of the Muppet Show.

On top of this we are now working on creating websites for people and helping others to create their own websites, banners etc. So we have been staying pretty busy with all this.

Just keep JMC Ministries in your prayers as we continue to work to help build the Kingdom!
