I want to thank you for making “I Love My Church Day” a very special day a few days ago. Obviously, God met with us in a special way. Last week our ministry touched over 7,000 people in Northwest Arkansas to the glory of God. Great work was done by our staff team, supported by wonderful laypeople who believe in the work of the ministry. Thank you so much.

I also want to follow-up with you on our “Invent The Future” process. Our Vision Team is at work and engaged in this process. Right now, prayer is the #1 thing you can do for us. As the process rolls out over the next few weeks, our entire staff team, lay leaders, and eventually the entire church, will hear at least some of the results of this process.

I use the word “process” because that is what it is. It could even be said that we are “inventing the future from the inside out.” The process is rigorous, but rewarding. We are excited about what God is showing us and how He is guiding us. Again, pray for us. There is much work to be done in this 120-day period of time.

Our Impact Ministry (which replaced our Bus Ministry) is exploding under the energetic leadership of Philip Becker. We are taking real live worship, preaching, and teaching into various neighborhoods weekly. Adults and children are all participating. The future in this ministry is unlimited. Pray for and engage in this ministry. While Bus Ministry was relevant to the culture of the last century, Impact Ministry is relevant for these days. The receptivity and results are proving that weekly.

God is doing some marvelous things.
