Thank you for praying for us over the summer months. We appreciate you so much! A special thanks to you who have prayed for Shannon’s mom. Here is an update on her condition.

We have returned home from Colorado after serving at Campus Crusade’s National Staff Training Conference (see photos here). It was a very good experience! What two words would we use to summarize our time?

GREAT

”Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.”Psalm 145:2-4 (NIV)

We had asked you to pray for good times with the Lord. Several times during the summer we were impressed with the simple greatness of God. His greatness holds all things together. And, nothing ever exceeds His greatness. Catch a glimpse here of His greatness from “That’s My King” – a re-creation of a sermon by S.M. Lockridge.

Amazingly, we are loved by this great God! Perhaps even more amazingly: He uses us to communicate His greatness to others.

ANTICIPATION
We were refreshed and renewed with a sense of anticipation. Through the conference and the many godly staff members from around the world with whom we came in contact, we were reminded of why we do what we do. It became crystal clear when Dr. Steve Douglass, President of Campus Crusade for Christ, described in detail the future direction of our organization:

Help build spiritual movements (of multiplying disciples for Christ) everywhere so that, one day soon, everyone will know someone who truly follows Jesus.

We exist to help fulfill the Great Commission. It is a huge task, yet it is ultimately the Lord’s task. Therefore, it is destined to be fulfilled. . . .Soon, we hope! Citing worldwide church planting and growth statistics as well as many amazing first-hand accounts of people receiving Christ in closed countries, Dr. Douglass said, “I believe God is stepping things up today.”

Serving Him with you,
