God is giving us our dream...

The dream of this church has never been specifically about buildings or budgets or even audience sizes... but seeing people who don't know Christ at all experience radical change through an encounter with Him.

We have prayed and believed God for that. We believe that His compassion for the people of this area is unlimited, as is His willingness to glorify His name here.

This past week, I have experienced again just how willing God is to do that among us. I have met with 3 different men coming to our church--from business and academic backgrounds--all of whom coming from a context where they had no substantive belief in God at all, all of whom interested in Christ. Two of them have already come to Christ in our church. One of them talked to me about going on a mission trip next year.

Atheist to missionary. That's the dream.

On a completely unrelated note, a friend sent me some disturbing pictures from a place I was speaking  where I had to wear a suit the other day. I've decided that I'm just not a pretty man when I'm speaking. Whatever did Veronica see in me?

HaHa - great pictures! Looks just like the guy we see on the big screen each week! We obviously enjoy your sermons based on your intelligence and humor, not the great poses you give us.

As for Veronica - I am sure she married you for your humor and smarts... while you married HER for her smarts and beauty! You married up, buddy!!!
