Pastor's Thoughts

April 5 2009 Archive

Acts 1:8 reads, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Southern Baptists have issued a "National Evangelism Initiative." Their objective is simple: Get the Gospel to every person in North America by 2020. In order to achieve that main objective, they have created four smaller goals that each and every church can be faithful to and fulfill.

Praying - Every Church and every member praying for every lost person. 

Engaging - Every believer sharing as a trained witness.

Sowing - Every lost person receiving a complete witness.

Harvesting - Every Church harvesting and celebrating each salvation experience.

How can you serve the Church in Praying, engaging, sowing and harvesting? Give God the reins to use you in His great redemptive plan. He is worthy of Honor and Praise. Brag about God this week to someone.

You can also meet in my office every 1st and 3rd Thursday for visitation. We had 14 last visitation, and God blessed the visitors as well as the visiting.

Then He said to His disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:37-38
