17 Jan Harvest Time 2006
I am praying that in 2006 we will see an unusual HARVEST of new believers. Our primary ministry focus must be outward–reaching lost people with the Good News and seeing them begin their journey to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. If you have some inspiring stories of individuals in your church coming to faith in Jesus, I would love to hear them. How about doing a short video or DVD testimony and sending it to me so it can be shared with others?
We need to regularly and consistently see lost people come to faith, so that our confidence in the Gospel will not be lost. When the 2007 US National Conference meets, I hope to share a large number of testimonies with the conference. So, keep those videos/DVDs coming in. Don’t worry that they are not professional. Just get something recorded and send it in. Oh, by the way, did I mention I wanted you to get the testimonies recorded and sent in? In case you missed it, I do!

Thanks for the blog. It should be a great communication/discussion tool.
I am reading a book that reminded me of a discussion we had at GMLT about the use of the word “missional”. I was going to send you a personal e mail about it but I thought others might be intersted too. The book is “The Shaping of Things to Come” by Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch. I am not far into it but so far I would say it is the best expression of the missional church I have seen.
Thought you might be interested.
Blessings

Posted at 18:08h, 18 JanuaryI just want to say how impressed I was at the concept of a bishopBlog. Many of the less computer-literate UB’ers may not even notice it, but I really appreciate what I see as an effort toward more frequent communication from the bishop’s chair.
