Missions Emphasis Month Kick Off

Our Missions Emphasis Month has had a tremendous kick off in my view with the capable preaching of Dr. Keven Callahan.  I heard many of you comment on how much you enjoyed Sunday.

I praise the Lord for the work that was done in our hearts beginning in Sunday School with the Dispatches from the Front Video.  My heart was open to Southern Asia and the Gospel need there.

I talked with our next speaker today - Pastor Scott Bandy, and I can't wait to hear his passionate points about the gospel need for our church.  We must pray that the Lord stirs our will, our finances, our vision, our proclamation of Jesus' gospel.

It was a sweet thing last night to pray with several men who really knew how to pray.  It was so transparent, so genuine, so Spirit led to hear them submitting their hearts to God and asking God to do His work among us.  One of the major themes of the prayer time was asking God to continue to work through the Missions Emphasis Month.

I believe this is a special time of missions awakening at LBC and that we are going to be shocked at what God is going to do in and through willing believers.

Whose Mission is it?  "It is OUR mission Lord, please tell us what to do."
