IMPACT Prayer Post: A Partnership of Prayer

June 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment

This morning, we head out for a public school in Catacamas. We are doing this a number of times this week and we need to pray! These are places that have a high level of opportunity to share the gospel in places that are hungry for the Gospel.

I met with the youth pastors in the area with Cristian last night and the partnership that he has with them is something that you don’t find many places. By working with these guys on this “youth committee” we are working with 25-30 churches in the local area. Together, we have put together a program that is sure to impact the lives of those that see it. [Read more...]

An Experience in Leadership

January 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment

In my line of work, volunteers and volunteer “care” is something that I interact with on a regular basis. So, when I volunteer, I am doing the job and analytically looking at how things go. Recently, I got a great lesson that every leader that leads any level or amount of volunteers needs to recognize.

The reality is this:

Helping a Student Know

Last Wednesday, Derry, at the end of the message portion, offered students the opportunity to respond, by standing, to their recognition of what God was doing in their heart. Many stood in response to the two different opportunities, whether that was to accept a relationship with Him for the first time or to reaffirm a relationship and not the standards of religion. Afterward, I had a leader ask me how to revisit the night, and those decisions, in their small group the next week. I gave her three pointers. [Read more...]
