Echoes Across the River
The Joy of Generosity
Following the Word of God brings life giving joy to
every aspect of our lives. During my first year as your senior
pastor, I shared my commitment of passionately teaching the
Bible and encouraging us to follow its good instruction in
every area of our lives. Part of that included an exhortation for
us all to follow the Biblical instruction to tithe our income to the
work of Jesus Christ at KFUMC.
Because so many of you chose to follow the Bible’s
instruction in this regard, KFUMC finished 2015 with a surplus of revenue. Based on
the recommendation of your Finance Committee, the Church Council voted to
use those funds in a couple of ways. First, they fully funded our emergency
operating reserve fund which had been significantly depleted in previous years.
Second, they analyzed our asset replacement fund and were satisfied it
contained sufficient funding to care for our facilities. Third, they voted to use the
remaining $59,000 for missional purposes.
At the last meeting of the Church Council, the group prayed and
discerned that it would please God for KFUMC to build a Habitat for Humanity
home here in Kerrville. This house will be paid for with the balance of the 2015
surplus! Praise God for the opportunity to both ensure the long-term health of
KFUMC and to bless our neighbors! This fall, we will all have the opportunity to
participate in establishing a new forever home for a family in our community. We
will work closely with our local Habitat for Humanity Board and staff. Each one of
us will have the chance to be involved in some way as the house gets underway.
In 2016, we continue to see the fruit of faithful generosity from our
members. We have not had a single fundraiser or special appeal for money, yet
we have fully funded our ministry here and our outreach efforts around the world.
Giving a tithe to our church allows us to do and be the things God calls us to do
and be for Him! I am so honored to be your pastor and to personally experience
the joy of generosity among you. I know every time I drive by the Habitat House
we build, I will feel joy knowing that a deserving family has a home because like
many of you, I chose to follow the Bible’s instruction and tithe to KFUMC!

Thoughts from Pastor Phillip
The Power of Daily Prayer
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my rock and
my redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14
Recently, I found my soul longing for a deeper connection with Christ, and I wanted to
recommit to the discipline of daily prayer. I began my devotional time in the morning by reading
the “Field Guide for Daily Prayer”, and it has been a renewal for my soul!
“Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be
holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard
me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen.”
This is a prayer which I have been using over the past few weeks. It was written by St. Augustine who
lived in the fourth century and helped to influence church doctrine to what we know today. This is one of
many prayers that help start my day, and I will tell you they make a difference! Beginning your day with a
prayer of confession as well as thanksgiving is a great way to see and experience God’s love and grace.
Daily prayer has helped me be centered before a busy day, and has brought calm in the midst of it.
If you believe your soul would benefit from the discipline of daily prayer, I encourage you to give it a try!
Who knows, maybe this is something the Lord is leading us to do together. If you have an interest in daily
prayer, then come and speak with
me to explore what millions of
“God Glimpses” in the Halls

Kendra’s Faith Story
The April BFF (Beloved Faith Friends)
group enjoyed an interesting young
speaker. Kendra Thomas ,who is married
to FUMC’s former Praise Team Leader,
Spencer, shared her faith story with us.
She grew up in San Angelo, Texas. At
the age of seven, her family faced some
difficult challenges. Kendra’s father
spent most of 1998 in jail and on trial. Her
family attended the Sierra Vista
Methodist Church.
The minister was aware of the family’s
situation and met with the family just
before Kendra’s dad was sentenced to
serve a long prison term. The church
rallied around the family, adopted
them, and gave them grace.
Kendra’s family moved several times,
downsizing as a result of lost income and
a missing parent. A group of men from
the church took the roles of handymen
and did repairs around Kendra’s house,
and the church at times paid utility bills
so that money from Kendra’s mom’s
paycheck could stretch to purchase
food. Kendra’s and her twin sister’s
names appeared at Christmas time on
the Angel Tree at the local mall. She was
always surprised when she and her sister
would receive identical gifts. Her face lit
up as she mentioned one particular gift
which holds a special place in her
heart—a guardian angel necklace she
still owns today. In Kendra’s own words,
”I had a messy life that some amazing
people loved me through.”
In 2001, she met Rusty Freeman
and our very own Ryan Barnett at a
from prison. His long separation took a
toll on her family. Her mom had been
supportive during his years in prison, but
her parents divorced after his release.
Spencer Thomas attended an event
called MYMission Camp in San Antonio.
As he entered the door, he spotted
Kendra across the room and mentioned
to Beth Palmer that he wanted to marry
that girl. God had a plan for this couple!
They met, dated, and married on
January 3, 2015. Shortly after their
honeymoon, they received a call from
Pastor Ryan asking them if they would
consider going to Costa Rica as
missionaries!
My family and I vacationed in the
small town of Lake City, Colorado, for
several summers. In the window of the
Swanson House restaurant was a Christmas tree with a sign that boasted it was
Christmas year round. I envision Kendra’s
church having this similar spirit. They
didn’t just adopt an angel on a tree in
the mall. They adopted a family and
were Christ-like 24/7, 365 days for nearly
ten years. What a dividend we have all
received from that church’s generous
spirit! Kendra Thomas is an amazing,
articulate young woman who will
change lives in Costa Rica.
Kendra believes “the global church is
a place where we love everyone in
whatever mess they are in, but we refuse to let them stay there.” Kendra has
the heartaches of her early years to
showcase we don’t have to have our
past define our future. Maybe all those
tiny bumps in her life’s journey have
prepared her to share her faith and
feed a flock of teenagers in Costa Rica.
Discipleship
OUR STAFF
Clergy
Share Christ With Our Neighbors
Ryan Barnett, Senior Pastor
I had the honor of attending a Young Life Club meeting recently. This organization focuses on
bringing High School students into relationship with Jesus and uses a format that is simple, fun, and
biblically to the point.
Young Life Club meetings start with interactive worship music, followed by a few games to involve
everyone, then end with a few minutes of presenting Jesus—much like a sermon in one of our services. Our very own Josh Smithson shared a lesson about Jesus using a personal testimony (aka, embarrassing story) with a story about Jesus’ healing to back it up. The kids were captivated by the
teachings of Jesus from Josh's story and reading of the Gospel. That's when it hit me. Why do we
make sharing Christ so hard? We often fall prey to so many misconceptions that simply aren't true.
Things like "I don't know enough of the Bible" or "Only pastors are for sharing Christ".
Actually, the more biblical knowledge you have the better, but you don't need to memorize the
Bible or have a seminary degree to share Christ. We are all called to share Christ in our spheres of
influence (neighbors, coworkers, friends, family, fellow students). To share Christ, all we need to do is
be honest with the people we come in contact with about our own lives and problems. Build a relationship so they feel comfortable around you. Then most importantly, tell how Jesus helps you! It
doesn’t need to be a well thought out sermon or a bunch of scripture quotes. In fact, it’s probably
better that it’s not those things. Start by praying before you speak to someone. Ask the Holy Spirit to
enter you and give you the words to say. Then, just be yourself. Try sharing a funny story about something you did and showing how Jesus helped you or a time that you felt very low and Jesus picked
you up. Personal stories are the most effective! People will feel comfortable when they know you
aren’t perfect and that Christ is what completes you. They too will want to feel the love that Jesus has
to offer.
Even people who look like they have it all together are often hurting the most inside. You will find
they are often very hungry for something that secular things can’t provide. Tell them the good news
about Jesus and give them some living water. You will find when you share Christ in this manner your
own relationship with Jesus will grow even stronger.
If the person you have shared Christ with doesn’t respond or run to the church to proclaim their
faith, don’t be discouraged. It rarely happens that way. We are called to plant the seeds; only God
can make them grow. I am a great example; it took 29 years for my seed to start sprouting. In God’s
time, that’s just the wink of an eye. So just plant the seeds for Christ and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
And, it doesn’t hurt to keep watering them!
After you read this, open your Bible immediately to the Gospels, read some of Jesus' stories, and
be inspired to tell others about what Jesus has done for you. Let’s all take note of the Young Life
approach, keep it simple, fun and biblically to the point. It’s also good to do something unexpected for people in the name of Jesus.

Message from Pastor Donna
Life’s Storms
I’m guessing that some of you
really like thunderstorms such as
we’ve experienced in the
month of May. I like a storm as
long as it keeps a “friendly
distance” from me. Watching
the sky dance with lightning is a
reminder to me of this wonderful creation God made and how all the systems
serve unique functions. I like hearing the thunder
roll as well! But when the storm gets too close and
the hail is pounding on the roof and against the
windows, I will admit that creates some anxiety for
me.
As I was thinking about the storm which hit
the night of May 17, I realized that sometimes I
want to “watch from the sidelines” as I don’t like
stormy situations. I am reminded of a plaque I
have in my office that reads: “Sometimes God
calms the storm. Sometimes He lets the storm rage
and calms His child.” At a recent meeting, our
district superintendent spoke about the same concept. His words were, “God is not in the storm but
in our response.” I think these thoughts are communicating basically the same thing. God is with
us, regardless of the situation; but it doesn’t mean
that God “fixes” situations according to our wants
and desires. I realize that Luke 8 records Jesus’
calming a storm for the disciples. Yet, he also
asked them, “Where is your faith?” When we
respond with faith and trust in God, there is no
storm we cannot weather with His help!
I pray that your storms will be few. But
when they do come, I pray that your response will
be one of trust in the ultimate and holy One.
After much prayer and
discernment, our Church is
pleased to announce that we
have hired a new youth
director, Brock Bomkamp! We
are excited to have Brock join
our church family and are looking forward to working with him
as we continue to emphasize
our ministry to youth here at
KFUMC! Below is a message from Brock. Please be in prayer
for both him and our youth that God continue to be faithful
in the midst of this transition.
“Growing up in Dripping Springs, I heard and accepted the
Gospel message of Jesus my sophomore year in high school
at a Young Life Polar Bear Retreat. Upon returning to school,
football quickly became king of my life once again, but in
my senior year when I was unable to play football, I felt the
Lord calling me into full-time ministry while at a SWTX Youth
Midwinter. Much like the people of Israel I wandered once
again when I started college at Baylor University. While
leading camps in college I heard the Lord call once again,
and this time I answered yes. Since then my passion has
been making the Lord known to youth and taking them on a
path of discipleship with the Lord. I graduated from Baylor in
August of 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Outdoor
Recreation, and in October 2012 I was hired as the youth
director at Lutie Watkins UMC in Llano, TX. I am excited to
join the family at Kerrville FUMC in June 2016 and continue a
tradition of excellence in youth ministry. “

Men’s Health
According to the American Heart
Association, men avoid going to the
doctor because: they don’t have time,
they think there is probably nothing
wrong, they don’t want to hear what
they might be told and they would rather tough it
out.
