Prayer Breakfast of Clark County

Today I arose early to attend the Sixth Annual Mayors' and Community Leaders Prayer Breakfast. I have to say having attended these events in the past I expected the same old same old thing, But I was surprised by three high quality spirit filled people who said some things that moved me to tears. Yes to tears!

Testimonial Speaker (Rick Campfield) COO -US Digital - Rick is just an ordinary guy who has put God first through out his carrier. What I loved about his presentation was right there in front of almost 400 business leaders he had the courage to address the issue of the politically correct bunch who have taken over the business world so much that we can no longer share our faith with those who work for us. I was exited to hear that the leaders of US Digital still pray for Gods intervention in their day to day business. Rick was real clear about who he serves and invited anyone who wanted to know more about Jesus to come-up and speak with him afterward. Guys like Rick are my hero's.

Keynote Speaker (Karen Kingsbury) Novelist- Usually people who wright well don't speak well,

But Karen had a very classy smooth presentation. Her message was a Gospel presentation using the pages from her life (she was real) to teach people about how Jesus has impacted her life and to pave the way for others to follow. I really liked the way she used the story about her children to let us know that we need to choose, are we going to Heaven of Hell, and to drive home the point that we don't have a lot of time left to make up our mind, followed by the clincher to the pushy Cristian that pushes the undecided toward Disneyland not Jesus. Good job Karen!!

National Anthem (Rey Reynolds) of the Vancouver police Department- This guy can sing!!

what impressed me more was that he caught the mood and the sweet spirit of Jesus when he started out by blessing us with the opening verse to Amazing Grace how sweet the Sound. As I looked around the room it looked like One of those moments at Living Hope Church, People every where were wiping the tears from their eyes.

I want to personally thank Scott and Sam Mikel for inviting me and the other pastors to this very special event. Their investment in the community is making a big difference. I pray for more of these kind of people to step up and out for Jesus. We need help to develope big tigers from little cubs.
