A New Adventure
posted by on 01/3/07
Today I flew up to Chicago, where I’ll be serving with IBLP this year. Though it is tough to be leaving my family and putting my business on hold for a while, I know the Lord is leading in this direction and I’m excited about the opportunities to serve Him through this ministry!
The theme verse that our family has had over the past month has meant a lot to me during this time: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)
I appreciate your prayers and will try to keep you updated on the exciting things that the Lord does over this next year. Keep seeking first His Kingdom!
The Lord bless you Robert. We look forward to hearing how God uses you. May He be your source of joy, motivation, and help. Proverbs 3:5-6.
Love in Christ,
the Wilkes Team

Thank you for the meaningful e-mails; they have been very informative and help give direction to our prayers for you and Dr. Gothard.
Hello Dad!

Do you know what three things Dr. Gothard asks the Lord for every morning?
(1) Wisdom - James 1:5
(2) Grace - 2 Corinthians 9:8
(3) The Holy Spirit - Luke 11:13
Those are qualities we all need!
