Tell them to use their money to do good. They
should be rich in good works and generous to those
in need, always being ready to share with others.
It has literally
been an awesome week working with 70 men from several different states and
about 15 different churches. These men
are working like well-oiled machines accomplishing various tasks on our new and
future campus. We are blessed.
The work the “men on
a mission” group is doing totals up to around $100,000 of donation in labor
costs. That is a huge gift to our church
and a huge push forward to the completion of buildings for The Community
Fellowship and Dream Center.
One of the blessings
and encouraging things that happens when a mission team is together are the
stories and testimonies we hear from those on the team. Two men from our church and I sat with Dr.
Don yesterday for several minutes listening to all God has done in his life (he
is the man standing in the picture). I
will not recount his story for you other than to share how God had mercy on a
young man when he was ready to literally give up. He also shared how God saved him through the
prayers for a faithful acquaintance and then how God saved his father. The story of his dad’s salvation including
acts of forgiveness that took my breath away.
Are you ready to
share what God has done for you? Be
ready as the verse above says. Tell
others what God has done, what you have learned and more. Just like the building and how it is coming
together, share how God is putting your life together for your good and for His
glory.
I cannot wait to
hear more from this team and see their accomplishments over the rest of the
days of this week. We really are
blessed!
