>Good Year for the Westchester Men’s Ministry

The WMM had a good year in 2009. We hope to have a breakout year in 2010.
First a look back, in 2009 we…
- had over 10 events including a golf event, hiking, multiple breakfasts and our Christmas dinner.
- had our first breakfast with Grace Fellowship.
- had multiple new people join our small groups or attend one of our events.
- setup a blog, a Facebook group and a Twitter account. We have over 200 followers on Twitter and appear on 6 lists.
- had nearly 2 dozen men for our Christmas dinner, our largest group yet, including a few new people.
- just got started!
In 2010, we have big goals!
- We feel God is calling us to prepare for the harvest — so we plan to do leadership training
- We also feel God wants us to “do” his Word as a group — so we will be coordinating more outreach events.
- We will have our first retreat in the early Spring of 2010 (watch for more details)!!
- I believe we will have a small group of committed people step up in 2010 that will allow WMM to fulfill the role God intends for it. This may include 501c(3) status and a broader reach in Westchester county.
- The spirit of the Westchester Men’s Ministry is to be community based and support multiple churches. So my optimistic goal is to bring leaders from many churches together in 2010 to share our vision to bring hope to the hopeless and strengthen each other!
There are many people to thank for their support in 2009 including Dick Weidenheft, George Holladay, Peter Corfield and Fred Seiler among many others. Thank you guys!
We hope you have a very happy new year. Please pray that God will lead us and protect us because we can do all things through Him who strengthens us and conversely we can do nothing in our own power.

Last week, we kicked off the year with breakfast. Kevin Gillen spoke to us about being an example in our homes. This is our first and in many ways our primary missionary field. So it was a very appropriate way to kick off our year.
Two small groups are now available for you to join to continue the conversation. These groups provide a safe environment to share, be encouraged and to grow together in Christ. I hope you will take advantage of them.
Thursday Evening at 7pm
Rob Rosati and Marc Greenblum (leaders)

Brian’s Prayer Letter… 9/11/09
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for everything. We have felt your love, prayers, and support during these past few weeks. Eliana is doing much better! As most of you know we came close to losing her at critical moments twice over the past few weeks. But God… He intervened and touched the doctors hands and told them what he wanted them to do and saved her life. I am overwhelmed by watching miracle after miracle in her life. God still moves, and works in our lives. When we are at our weakest He is the strongest on our lives and His power is awesome. God does care. He has answered our prayers and yours as well. Last Tuesday was one of the hardest nights we have ever been through. Eliana went into shock from the Ecoli in her body releasing toxins into her organs. Her blood pressure fell to 60/40, her heart was racing at 240 beats a minute and her oxygen fell to 60% turning her body blue. They rushed her body to the PICU and God restored her life. Pray she did not suffer more brain damage due to her mind not getting enough oxygen. She is doing much better and has successfully gone through a couple of surgeries since then. She is suppose to have stints place into her pancreas in a week or two. I wish you all could meet her and see her passion to live and love.
The church continues to see people saved and baptized through the summer. Pray as we disciple our new converts. Praise God He still love to save people and change people.
God Bless,
Brian Densmore

Well, Eliana got out of the hospital Friday night, but with the busy weekend I didn’t have time to come share the good news… Unfortunately, she had to go back in today. Eliana has pancreatitis again. The new pancreatic enzymes they were trying evidently didn’t work. She is back off her food and on morphine again.
Pray for our baby and pray for her parents who cannot help but be discouraged with this long siege of illness.
