J17 Ministries
in Collaboration with 4Tucson and
Tucson Ministries
|
|
Greetings!
“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us… full of grace and truth” - The Christmas story according to John 1:14 (NIV).
What great news that Jesus is the Word – that communicating with us is His very nature. We can’t get to God, so God the Word comes to us!
Comm
uni
cation and
uni
ty go together, not only in the origins of the words, but in our John 17 (the prayer) efforts. Jesus makes it possible for us to be
one
with God. Communicating together, becoming one community, is not only Jesus’ prayer but the best chance the city has of seeing Jesus more completely.
J17 Ministries is a connect-the-parts ministry. This e-newsletter (every Tuesday morning starting in the new year) will be a central communication piece for our city. Mark Harris (4Tucson CEO) and I met and decided together last week that this will at least temporarily replace the weekly Church Domain newsletter that I wrote for 4Tucson. Our heart is to serve the city together.
Dave Drum, Founder
J17 Ministries

As the name implies, J17 Ministries is all about aligning hearts with Jesus’ own as expressed in John 17.
Our founder, Dave Drum, served as the Church Domain Director for 4Tucson since 2011. For more info on the relationship between the two ministries, click
HERE.
For readers outside the Tucson area, may the Holy Spirit stir up fresh vision as you read through what God’s doing in our city! You’ll find the Collaboration Corner and Harmony Hub sections of the newsletter starting in January to be particularly applicable.
And please pass along to us whatever God is showing you as well. John 17 starts in cities, but is intended to reach the world.
