We have all been enjoying new things lately!! One of the great joys in life is opening something new because of the smell. The best part about a new car for instance is the new car smell! Well I am excited about a new smell being at our church!!! Preston is on his way with his new youth guy scent!!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am to have him and his family come onboard here at FBC!
With Preston’s entrance comes his first BIG youth activity, D-NOW FANATIC, January 27th-29th. We are still in need of a few host homes and help in the kitchen. If you are interested, please let Preston or me know ASAP! As always we will be in need of some scholarships for the students who cannot afford to attend. So if you are willing to help out, it would be greatly appreciated!
Speaking of new things! A new year is upon us!!! I am excited about what this coming year will hold for our church family. I pray for more people to come to know Jesus than last year. I pray for more people to go to the next level in their relationship with Christ. I pray for us as a church family to step outside our walls more often to be the hand of Jesus in Grandview and beyond. I pray that we will be faithful in our tithing, so we can continue to do ministry in the places God has called us!! I ask you to pray for these things as well, but also ask God to show you which of these areas you need to be challenged in!!!
A couple of weeks ago I received a phone call from the pastor at Coon Creek Baptist Church in Missouri where our mission team went a few years ago. He asked me if I would be willing to come and preach a revival for them in March. I was honored he would ask but got really excited when he expressed his gratitude for our team coming and serving their church. His comment was, “There was just something different about your group that our people recognized and when we talked about who should come preach, several people suggested FBC Grandview!” It is no newsflash that those who go on the mission trips are “different” on many different levels, but the church recognized God doing something special among His people. That is an encouragement to me and should be to you as a church family as well! I say all of that to encourage you to pray about marking down the week of July 21-28, 2012, and if need be, take vacation time to go and be a part of this year’s mission trip with FBC. I have no idea yet where we will be going, but God always provides!
I pray that you have a great new year and God blesses you and your family in 2012!
May we be a blessing to Him!
