DAY 2 men on a mission


Hebrews 6:7  NLT
When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing.

The first day was good, but it is time for day 2 of the Men On A Mission team work on our new campus.  As always these men work hard and get more done in a work day than we can imagine. 

By working together we are so much stronger.  I have known for years that people with skills are important to accomplishing big things, and this group of more than 75 men has displayed that fact.  There is one particular group that I enjoyed watching today.

Their leader is a skilled worker.  Seems like he can work with wood or metal or steal or with a rag tag bunch of guys.  He completed a couple projects before mid afternoon and then completed a third.  You could look at the various guys and see they flat worked hard and got it done.

We are go grateful that this team has chosen to be a part of our new campus and our church family.  It is our belief that God is going to help us complete this building.  We also believe that if He doesn’t show up that we will fail.  This is an act of faith.

Day 2 is going to provide opportunities to grow, to work hard and to see more of how this property will open possibilities of ministry and God’s love for our community and beyond.

Please pray for this team, for the completed buildings and for many, many lives to be changed by the work of God.

Acts 11:23  NLT
When he arrived and saw this evidence of God’s blessing, he was filled with joy, and he encouraged the believers to stay true to the Lord.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

"Wild Goose Chase" by Mark Batterson (a review)

Hitting the book shelves of the bookstores and the market place on the Internet is Mark Batterson's book Wild Goose Chase .  This is an awesome book to follow In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day , Mark's first book.   You can follow Wild Goose Chase and also see Mark's "10 Steps to Setting Life Goals" at www.chasethegoose.com .   BOOK REVIEW (of sorts)   I really enjoy Mark Batterson's style and find him easy to read and understand.  At the same time I find myself challenged as a Christ follower and as a church leader.  The reader is reminded that life is intended, from God, to be an adventure and not boring.   Mark talks about six cages that hold Christians back from being who God intends for us to be.  They are: the cage of responsibility , the cage of routine , the cage of assumptions , the cage of guilt , the cage of failure , and the cage of fear .  Each one opens up some pretty deep questions for ...
