New Life in Jesus

It has been a great blessing to be a part of what Jesus has been doing in the life of our new friends Rich & Becky Smart. It gave me great joy to be able to baptise them and many others in front of 14,000 people on the Portland Rose Garden floor. Please be praying for them and numerous others that were baptised on Easter Sunday 2007. If you would like to see more of what God did on Easter, check out the Easter service. The baptism is the last half of the video.

Life at Wharp Speed

Things have been happening really fast these last couple of weeks since the Rose Garden event, and I need to apologize for not keeping you all updated. We are in the Grand Opening stage of the Longview Campus. Are attendance has grown consistently over the last two weeks and we are up to 174 people. Yaa God for bringing out people to visit. Their is such excitement as the new people come and as we see more and more life change. You tell me what is more rewarding than seeing people find freedom from bondage.

We are still looking for a more permanent location. last Friday we checked out a building at 1171 Commerce. Be praying that if this is God's will that every thing would go forward.

Please remember to invite your friends and co-workers to join us this Sunday.

Remember to thank the numerous volunteers that it takes every week to do church out of a box. They come before 8:00 and stay till after 2:00 each and every week so we have the opportunity to reach people that need Jesus. I love doing ministry with all of them. To Jesus goes all the glory.

Good Friday

Are you expecting something great from God?

A few years ago I read a couple of books by Robert Lewis. Check them out some time, one of the thinks that really stuck with me was talking about evaluating our manhood. Here is the little nugget of wisdom.

Resist passivity

Accept responsibility

Do it courageously

Expecting a great reward from God!!!!!

I try to sift all of my thoughts through this grid and find I usually can do way more than I think I can. Are you expecting great rewards from God?
