God's Great Symphony of Life

God's Great Symphony of Life by Dale Coad

Dale and Patti Coad

One of the profound truths of the scripture is that God orchestrates our lives for His Glory, including the stages or seasons of our journey.

As Ecclesiastes 3:1 (Voice) declares, "For everything that happens in life--there is a season, a right time for everything under heaven."

As part of God's Great Symphony of life, God directs the beginnings and the endings of those seasons.

As Rev. Craig D. Lounsbrough, observes, "Life is so utterly enraptured with beginnings that it can do little else than perpetually create space for them.   And those spaces are what we call endings."

Patti and I recognize that God's work in the Caribbean is just beginning as our time of leadership is ending and as David and Kristen Speer's time is just now beginning the 1st of April, 2018.

Patti and I have been inspired with a vision of all that God has yet in store for the Caribbean ministries.   We are declaring that it's His time and His season to fulfill His Destiny for the Island Nations of the Caribbean.

We feel similar to King David who had in his heart a vision to build a house for God, but in God's timing, his son Solomon would fulfill that vision.   As God told David in 1 Chronicles 28:5, "Solomon your son is the one will will build my house..for I have chosen him."

Solomon could have been intimated, but David reminded him, "This work is not for men--it is for the Eternal God."  1 Chronicles 29:1 (Voice)

Solomon had a learning curve in order to fulfill the vision.   David encourage him, "Be strong courageous, and effective.   Do not fear or be dismayed.  I know that the Eternal God, who is my God, is with you.   He will not abandon you or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the temple of the Eternal.  1 Chronicle 28:30 (Voice)

It has been Patti and my highest honor to have serve our colleagues in the capacity as the Caribbean Area Directors for thirteen years.   We fully acknowledge that the ongoing work of God is beyond any one person or office but nevertheless has Eternal consequences as we united in prayer as a team.

Please join us now as we pledge ourselves in prayer to David and Kristen as they step into their new roles "until they finish all the work the Lord has for them."
