30 Plus Years of Amazing Stories – Our Newsletter Archive
Welcome to our newsletter archive. God has been faithful and good in providing for the ministry since 1992. There is no perfect way to share all that He has done in guiding the leadership, bringing volunteers, and meeting the needs of the ministry and the family. We hope that as you browse the archive you will be blessed, inspired, and maybe even challenged. We pray that you will clearly see the hand of God in the stories contained in this archive and that you will glorify His name.
The people in these stories, while vessels in His service, are just obedient servants pointing to the Creator of all things through every word and deed. The stories we share will cover the history of Siloam, the lives of families touched by the ministry, as well as the many staff, volunteers, and donors who have sacrificed to make Siloam what it is today.
Excerpt from Latest Newsletter
We have a small pool here named the Pool of Siloam. The name Siloam (which means “sent”) is pulled from the account of Jesus healing the blind man in John 9. For us it is a daily reminder of the reason we exist – to provide housing and biblical hospitality to the missionaries, the “sent” ones, who come to this property to rest, refresh, and be sent back out.
Recently a work team spent a week cleaning and renewing our Pool of Siloam. This struck a chord with me as it reminded me that ministries, and the people in the ministries, must also take time to renew or the things that are important will be lost. Ministering to those who have spiritual, physical, and emotional needs is difficult if you yourself are facing the same problems and the same potential for burnout.
