8-STEPS (By John Baker, Doug Fields and Megan Hutchinson)

Step 1. G-et help.
I admit that I am powerless on my own and that I need help
Happy are those who know they are spiritiually poor. (Matthew 5:3)

Step 2. O-pen your heart.
I now know that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He is the only One who has the power to heal my pain.
Happy are those who mourn. God will comfort them (Matthew 5:4)

Step 3. D-epend on Christ. I realize I need to turn my life over to Christ. I need to depend on Him in all areas of my life,including all that I say, think, and do.
Happy are the humble. (Matthew 5:5)

Step 4. H-ear and speak. I agree to evaluate my life and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone that I trust.
Happy are the pure in heart. (Matthew 5:8)

Step 5. E-mbrace God's way. I will stop doing things my way and put my life on the path that leads towards God's way.
Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires. (Matthew 5:6)

Step 6. A-sk for forgiveness. I will offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me, and I will ask for forgiveness for any wrong I've done to others.
Happy are the merciful. Happy are the peacemakers. (Matthew 5:7-9)

Step 7. L-ive for God. I will set aside some time for God each day to examine my life, read my bible, and pray so that I have the power to live God's way.
Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor (Matthew 5:3)

Step 8. S-hare with others. I will take the message that God heals to others in need and share it by my words and actions.
Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires. (Matthew 5:10)

We are missionaries with The Brook Ministries in Costa Rica. We are here to help strengthen the church body of Jesus Christ & to fulfill His Great commission to the lost. At our conferences, my husband directs the recreational activities & excursions. I provide physical renewal with massage for the female attendees. We believe that regularly scheduled renewal of the body, mind, & spirit for ministry leaders in particular, will empower them to serve the Lord with renewed strength & perseverance to do what God has uniquely called them to do....SERVE & BUILD HIS CHURCH to the outermost parts of the world!
