Captains’ Corner:

feeding the Sheep“When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs”. Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.” John 21:15-17

I won’t argue with you if you tell me that my interpretation is off. And I will readily admit that I have not studied the original Greek. Not this time anyway. All I know is the Word, a good strong cup of coffee, and a few moments of peace and reflection sometimes reveal Truth to me in simple, profound ways. This has long been one of my favorite passages of Scripture. I love the idea and the story of Peter being forgiven and restored. But this particular morning, my thoughts were not on Peter, but on my own call-ing and how it finds its place in Christ’s words as well. That is how these three phrases Jesus spoke began to take form in my mind. Indeed, within these Words, God revealed to me three distinct areas to which I am called and challenged me

to search both my actions and my desires in my own ministry.

“feed My lambs”. A distinct, important part of who I must be for God includes evangelizing and caring for Lambs. The babies. for me, this speaks of the freshest, most innocent form of evangelism; loving, accepting and serving the new believers, and the unbelievers. Whether I have the gift of evangelism or not. Whether I am a “people person” or not. Whether I am comfort-able in pastoral, counseling situations or not, I have the specific calling on life to feed them.

“Take care of My sheep”. Jesus could have con-densed three phrases into two by telling Peter to feed the lambs, and then feed the sheep. But he didn’t. first comes the charge to take care of the sheep. How do you take care of sheep other than feeding them? What could they possibly need other than food? They need nurturing, support, care, exercise, protection and discipline. for me, this encompasses my pastoral and corporate ministry. We take care of sheep through many different methods. Sometimes we encourage and remind our sheep to get along with one another, sometimes we support friendships, education, and fellowship. We learn to be a family as we take care of one another and if my understand-ing of Jesus’ words is accurate, my job is to be involved in and engaged with the overall care and

well-being of the sheep. Every part of them. How we function and grow in our church life is how we take care of the sheep.

“feed My Sheep”. feed them too? Why wouldn’t feeding be included in the general care? Must I offer the sheep something more than I have given the lambs? More than their general care and oversight? As all believers grow and change so do our needs and hunger. We must shift from evan-gelizing lambs to discipling sheep at some point, or we will not have successfully captured Christ’s comprehensive plan. We must be able to identify when lambs are turning into sheep, and somehow shift and adjust our ministry to them and begin to feed them appropriately. Through proper dis-cipleship, sheep will emerge from these precious lambs. I have become more and more convinced as I have been blessed to be in one appointment for a good length of time that the sensitivity needed to nurture and guide from lamb to sheep is divinely given. But we must also be on the lookout for it. And we must be prepared. If we are not, we run the great risk of missing the signs, of not being in tune to the lamb as he grows, and ultimately of being at least partially responsible for stunted or apathetic spiritual growth.

Citadel Goals Update p6

Now to me, Jesus’ three-part message to Peter makes perfect sense. feed those lambs; take care of the sheep by offering what they need to succeed; and, finally, feed the sheep. I must be en-gaged enough to know when the lamb is hungry. I must create a spiritual environment that is in the best interest of growing, changing and developing sheep and finally I must feed them. I must be able to walk with them through childhood, adoles-cence, and maturity. for this I must be constantly prepared. I must remain on guard. But above all, I must be willing.

Where do you see yourself in Jesus’ teaching? If you are a lamb, are you receiving nourishment and food from a spiritual perspective? As you grow, are you allowing yourself to be a part of a flock that grows and learns together under the careful watch of the Great Shepherd? If you are a sheep, you must willingly and eagerly submit yourself to be discipled. To being fed from the Word and under spiritual authority. This is God’s plan to bring out the best in us. Shepherd, sheep, lamb, we should all seek to be found somewhere within this Word. Where are you?

Our Child Development Center just received word that we are going to be the recipients of a Minnesota Reading Corps intern again for the second year in a row. This important position is designated to promote reading and literacy skills to our preschoolers. After having Marissa, the present tutor on site in 2010, the testing results for most of our children have gone through the roof! Few will argue about the importance and significance of promoting early reading and literacy in our youngest students. This program is really valuable as we are thrilled to know that we have been selected to offer it once again.

During a recent MRC training, our Director Brenda Line was able to learn how our literacy scores line up with the other schools and child care sites providing this training. This is a synopsis of all 4-5 year olds being served in MRC which includes over 600 children in the metro area. Here are the highlights:

On “unanswered” PrayersGood friend Jack Getz offers his newest book, on prayer. Those who know Jack and Barbara will not be surprised to know that this book came from a place of challenge and pain that enabled God in his ultimate plan and provision to show his restorative grace, forgiveness and compassion.

“I think God’s paternal nature causes Him to stand back and allow us to find our own way, to make our own mistakes, to stumble and to get back up, all the while watching for the moment when He really needs to jump in and help us. He allows changes and transitions that create strength in us and keeps His silence only when He thinks it best that we slug it out alone. After all, are we any better than Jesus, whose cry for help in Gethsemane was met with betrayal, and His prayer in the wilderness that was initially answered by Satan, the counterfeit comforter?

Sometimes, no answer from God is His best answer, since facing ad-versity with character forces growth and encourages creative problem solving, which is one way to define perseverance. You can’t associate God’s silence with the notion of His indifference if you believe He loves you. No answer may also be His way of saying you don’t need to know, you don’t have a right to know, or you won’t know some things until you get to Heaven. God’s silence may also imply that your faith is rooted enough to make up your own mind and to move forward with joy.

Mature believers understand there will be times when God is silent, and we won’t get what we ask for. In fact, sometimes conditions get worse long before they get better...if they ever do. Life doesn’t always have a “happily ever after” ending, as seen by the fact that everyone will experience difficult challenges, and eventually we all die. But despite setbacks, saints can remain calm at heart because their faith teaches that God is always good to His children, and we can trust Him for what’s best.”

—Taken from: “Praying When Prayer Doesn’t Work” by Jack Corbin Getz

Prayer in ActionJames Green, case worker and breakfast program supervisor has much to be grateful for in 2011. On New Years Eve, 2010 James suffered an accident that left him struggling for strength and healing. We are grateful for God’s mercy and healing on James as he has returned to the important ministry he has at our daily breakfast feeding program.

Senior food MinistriesThe third Monday of each month we celebrate a food distribution ministry for all Seniors in our service area aged 60 and over. Each person, for a fee of $1 per month, takes home 15 pounds of food, plus extra breads and sweet treats we gather and share on a regular basis. This food includes the T-fAP government commodities which are restricted to seniors and those with disabilities. This program is called Brown Bag ( as evidenced by the brown groceries bag our guests fill with food). This is a wonderful program, and a great volun-teer opportunity. Social Service Team Lead Yvonne dobler oversees this distribution. We also do a program on the second Monday of each month called the Senior food for Health Program. We take all of the food to those who are shut in, living in the area high rises. May people cannot get out to their area food shelf, so The Salvation Army places a high priority on meeting their needs in a way that is practical and relevant.

Citadel Goals updateThe Corps Annual Consultation is a review process administered by our Territorial headquarters. Each year the denominational work of our Corps is reviewed and as we review the year past, a leadership team develops goals for the spiritual health and well-being of the congregation for the coming year. We consider these goals fluid, and as our Corps grows and changes, we update and revise them based on the best interest of those under our spiritual influence and the Kingdom of God. We also revisit these goals on a monthly basis and report on goals themselves and the action steps we have achieved in making each goal a reality.

Here is a snapshot look at our first goal and an update on what we have accomplished thus far:

Soul Saving #1 Critical Issue: New members becoming connected and involved has diminished over the last year.

Outcome: We desire to see an increase in visi-tors and those already attending our com-munity programs that leads to consistent participation and membership.

Goal: Increase our evangelistic efforts and outreach into the existing community pro-grams, with the intention of leading people toward

salvation and commitment to the body of Christ. We should see a statistical increase of 5% in programs on Sunday and Midweek.

While our church has grown steadily in the past five years, we are beginning to see that growth slowing down, and fewer new people and visitors are staying with us and progressing toward consistent participation and membership. Some of the actions steps created are meant to address this concern and open doors for more people encountering Jesus Christ through our efforts. Here are some efforts you will recognize if you are closely affiliated with our congregation:

1: In October, we held an outreach event that targeted women and their children and we saw great success in this. Although it did not result in new people attending the church, we remain satisfied that it was one more encounter people had with The Salvation Army and with our church family.

2: We are more intentional in following up with visitors and guests. It is our desire that people will find our church

warm, inviting and welcoming, and want to come often and bring others with them.

3: Our Midweek Bible Study continues to grow and strengthen with each season. We strive to meet the needs of all students of the Word while strengthening and educating new

believers as well as mature followers of Christ.

Our Child Development Center celebrated with a fun party on Valentine’s Day! Lots of cupcakes, and candy. It’s a good thing Valentine’s Day also falls on the month the children are learning about Dental Health!
