This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:24
Short, sweet words from the psalmist, reminding me that today has been made by my Lord. It reminds me that there is a beginning to today and an end to today (Amen! It’s not a relentless saga!). I am to rejoice and be glad in TODAY.
I love to write notes and to-do lists; just so that I can cross them off and feel productive (Crazy, Right? But I feel so accomplished!). I even have been known to write an unsolicited list or two for my husband and children. So naturally, I have a planner where I can write all that is needed to be done.
For the past four months, I have had plans that I have had to scratch off, reschedule, cancel, change, juggle…some days not knowing what next week’s plans will look like. I have two choices; one is that I can kick and scream and complain about the constant change(which is my default) or I can lean into God and trust Him through this difficult time.
So, I have been clinging to Psalm 118:24. I looked at my planner today, and see one square…it’s the 28th of July. It has a beginning and an end. I can do that…I can rejoice in TODAY.
I would encourage you to read Psalm 118 today. If you would like prayer for being present and rejoicing in today, please message us.

This is great! Thanks Annie!
On His Path partners with Hays Pure Water for All in bringing clean water to even the remotest villages around the world. Not only do the people receive the gift of pure drinking water but the living water, a free gift to all who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." John 7:37-38 ESV
Thanks to Lane Wyrick for making this video that so accurately depicts what is involved in the treatment process. Not only that, but it truly shows John Hays heart for the people he serves. He is being obedient and taking The Gospel to the ends of the earth as Jesus commanded in Mark 16:15.
Thanks to your generous donations we have been able to receive several stories about how your contribution has helped those in Guatemala. Here is one story. Not only do those that have contact with Bethel Ministries International staff get bags of food to help with the Covid-19 crisis but it is a guarantee that every single person they come in contact with will hear the good news of the Gospel.
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. John 6:35
A year ago, Vicenta separated from her husband because of his drinking and abusive problems. Since then she has worked by washing clothes for others twice a week, making up to $2 a day. Since March, Vicenta has been unable to work, and her four children have not had enough food.
Life has not been easy for this family living in poverty, and when Bethel visited them, all they had left were radish leaves to eat.
Vicenta is very grateful for the food and her children were so happy to see all the food that was donated to them, especially since they had had nothing to eat that day.
WHO DO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST IN?
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose trust is the LORD.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”-Jeremiah 17:7-8
When I read this scripture, it always reminds of a BIG stretch and a yawn. You know, the kind that make you especially relaxed. I can picture this tree stretching its leaves and roots just as you stretch your fingertips and toes…and it feels good…and it feels relaxing; satisfying.
Prior to this scripture, Jeremiah describes those that trust in man. He actually calls them CURSED.
Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,[a]
whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6 He is like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.-Jeremiah 17:5-6
Cursed…Desert… parched…uninhabited salt land; those words do not seem satisfying to me. These scriptures illustrate a comparison between putting your hope in others or putting your hope in God. The heat is here. Are you feeling it? Are you feeling satisfied, relaxed, content, confident in Him; or are you feeling thirsty, unsettled, anxious? Let’s pray today that we put our hope in God’s perfect plan and wipe away our temptation to trust in ourselves. If you need prayer, please message us.

Amen God knows our hearts i trust in him .
I needed to hear this today thank you
The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. Psalm 34:22
Isn’t that the truth?!? The Lord redeems the life of his servants…..
What exactly is redemption? What does that look like? When I think about redemption…I think of the redemption center. You know, the place where you get your nickel for your can.
You have two choices with that can:
1. You can throw it away in the trash or
2. You can take it to the redemption center and turn your can into a nickel.
It looks like if you throw it in the trash, you just saved yourself the headache of taking it to the redemption center. You saved yourself time and energy.
But that is where it gets tricky. See, you are already in debt when you buy that can of pop because you have had to put that nickel down as a payment. That is like the lie that Satan wants us to believe; you can skip going to the King for redemption because it takes too much effort and after all you’re just missing out on something you don’t need anyways. That’s Not True.
The definition of redemption is the action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment or clearing a debt. Satan wants you to think that you don’t have a debt. But the truth is YOU do and I do. Our debt of sin is in need of redemption; so that we can have a relationship with our holy God. Our debt of sin needs to be cleared.
So not only does Psalm 34:22 proclaim the truth of redemption, the scripture also goes on to promise that none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. How many will be condemned? NONE. Who are the none? Those who take refuge in him.
If you are curious on how you can take refuge in him, please message us!

Thank you for enriching my soul with this beautiful word of the Lord.
This is really a great analogy! Thanks!
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned-everyone-to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.-Isaiah 53:6
When I read these words, it is as if God was telling me the state of the world today; we have all gone astray. More then just the state of the world, but that we ALL have gone astray….Every.One.Of.Us.
So if the story stopped there, there would be no point to fight. There would be no hope and only despair. But God is so good that the story goes on….
The promise of the Gospel is laid out in Isaiah 53: we are ALL sinners and in desperate need for a Savior. God purposely made a plan of our salvation through Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 53:11 goes on to say:
Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
By his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant(Jesus),
Make many to be accounted righteous,
And he shall bear their iniquities.
Did you catch that part? “Make MANY to be accounted righteous”. Many! That includes you and that includes me! The world seems so very different from even a few months ago, but take heart God has had a plan for our Salvation from the very beginning.
If you are reading this and would like pray or talk about God’s plan of redemption. Please message us. I would encourage you to read Isaiah 53…there is hope in this scripture, a promise, and then we have seen the fulfillment. God can be trusted!

Great help
On His Path supports seven clubfoot clinics in El Salvador and every baby there is treated at no cost. Not only are their physical needs met, but counselors meet with the parents and present the Gospel to them. Mayra Arteaga is the Clinic Coordinator and does a wonderful job of making sure the parents are informed, assuring them that everything will be okay and that clubfoot is a very treatable condition. We have child sponsorships available if you feel led to help in that way. The cost is only $25.00 per month the first year and after that $12.50 per month the next three years until treatment is complete. If you would like to sponsor a child or have questions, please email Annie Powell at annie@onhispath.org or visit our website - www.onhispath.org

May God bless each and everyone at OHP. Praying for you all always ❤
My son was fortunate and blessed to have been treated by Dr Ponseti and Dr Morcuende at the University of Iowa hospital. I have several used braces from MD Orthopedics, most in good condition. Does On His Path accept these as donations for a child need? If so, please advise where I should send to. Thank you and God's continued blessings in your ministry!
Can you extend your help to india
Today we celebrate World Clubfoot Day! It is celebrated on June 3rd to coincide with the birthday of Dr. Ignacio Ponseti, the leading pioneer in no surgery clubfoot correction. Because of Dr. Ponseti's pursuance of a more comfortable shoe for the babies, John was able to work with him and develop a shoe that would not cause blisters on the babies feet. Doctor Ponseti was a good friend and truly loved the children he helped. As John says, "I am happy to help him get his method spread throughout the world."

Bethel Ministries International are meeting people’s nutritional needs in Guatemala. It’s so awesome to see how The Lord directs our steps if we are willing and say “Yes” to God!
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. “ Matthew 25:35 ESV
Thank you to all who gave these last few weeks during the nutrition drive for our ministry partners in Ethiopia, Guatemala, India, and Uganda! We were able to send $6,628.00 to help buy and distribute food to those in need. Donations are continuing to come in so we will be sending another gift to meet nutrition needs at the end of May. Our mission statement is "Glorifying Jesus by coming alongside those in need."
Jesus is hope for a broken world and we invite you to come with us!!!
"The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:9-10
One day left to bless the hungry!!! Donations will he sent tomorrow afternoon!!! Thank you to all who have already given!!!
We have one week left before we send the money to those in need, with $850.00 raised to date. When you give to OHP 100 percent goes to the poor. Never an administrative fee! Let’s fulfill the law by loving others!!!
Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, there are millions of people around the world who are without food due to being quarantined in their homes. They are unable to work and therefore they have no money to buy the smallest amount of food to sustain them. Our ministry partners in Guatemala, Uganda, Ethiopia, and India are witnessing this first hand and contacting us for immediate help. On His Path will start the fund by putting in $5,000.00 but we need your help as there is a tremendous need!!! If you would like to help, please go to our website www.onhispath.org and click on the donate button. From there you will see the different categories where there is a "nutrition fund" to click on. You can also mail a check to On His Path, 120 South Main Street, Suite 103, Mount Pleasant, IA 52641. We will be sending the money to our ministry partners on April 28th, so please have your donation in by then. 100 percent of your donation goes to those in need. On His Path never takes an administrative fee.
