The Tims and I are back on US soil after an amazing 10 days of ministry with our partners abroad. This Sunday we will share a brief report about our time away and have a time later this month where we will share in greater detail. 

This Sunday we continue to prepare for our October Campaign – Hope Happens Here! We live in a time and in a place where people are struggling with the effects of loneliness and isolation. I believe the Church has the best answer to the problem: the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Each Sunday during the month of October I intend to preach messages of HOPE that will point people to Jesus as the object of our hope. A hope they can embrace to find the cure for our sin problem which is what lies at the root of society’s loneliness problem. This is where you come in! 

Two Sundays ago I preached a message on various ways you can share your faith with unsaved and unchurched people. I made a card available for you to start praying for people you have regular contact with so you can first be a neighbor to them, then invite them to something at our church during October. This Sunday I am preaching a message titled “Operation Andrew.” This is not the title of a covert operation I am leading. I am not the Andrew: it is the Apostle Andrew in the New Testament. The Apostle Andrew is known as the disciple that brought people to meet Jesus. Will you be like Andrew and bring people to meet Jesus? It might be someone who will fully surrender to Christ and allow God to do amazing things through them. Sunday we will provide you with cards you can use to invite the people you have been praying for to help make it easier for you to invite them to meet Jesus at our Church. I will also be sharing the story of how God changed my family forever in 1947 when my father was invited to a revival service. Join me this Sunday as we look at how a simple invitation can have world changing results for the kingdom of God.
