Shepherd's Scroll
For Such a Time as This
Faith Family,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I continue to give thanks to our gracious God for putting you all in our lives. Your faithfulness and your enthusiasm fill my heart with joy and help complete my hope in Christ. Every day I look forward to serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alongside each of you and growing in our discipleship journey together. I pray as God has continued blessings us, may we continue to be a blessing to others.
These past three days have brought back some memories of July 4th, 2025. We are seeing some major flooding in our district. Towns like Sabinal, Uvalde, and D’Hanis are experiencing flood damage. Fortunately, no loss of life. Dilley has experienced a 3.6 magnitude earthquake. We have folks in our district that are experiencing loss, destruction and anxiety. Something Kerr County, as well as other surrounding counties, experienced last year.
Our Conference is ready. Brad DeHaven, the disaster relief coordinator, is already in reaching out. I have talked with most of the pastors and have been given updates and requested needs. Flood buckets will be needed in the near future to help clean up homes and business. Boots on the ground will be needed to help families get back into those homes. I share this with you to encourage our congregation to be prepared and ready to be sent out to help. Many of us have experience and can offer the grace of Christ to hurting communities.
This is why being a part of a connectional system is vital. These churches, and these communities are not alone, and they don’t have to experience this disaster without the help of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
Please keep these churches, pastors and communities in your prayers. Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit on how you can be used to help. I will continue to pass along information as I receive it. Queen Esther was told by her cousin that perhaps God has placed her in the position she was in “for such a time as this.” Friends, I am hearing the same phrase from God. Kerrville Global Methodist Church has been placed in our area, in our situations, in our circumstances for such a time as this.
May we be faithful to the leading of the Holy Spirit and bring hope and peace to a hurting people.
May we thank our Almighty God for our past experiences, and may we also seek the Holy Spirit to direct us and empower to use those experiences to help others.
Have a blessed Week!

Celebrating the Bible as the Word of God
We are an orthodox and traditional Global Methodist Church in Kerrville, TX.
We believe in the authority of the Bible as the inspired Word of God.
We believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Way.
What we believe: The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Jesus said, "Come and See." - John 1:39
