Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas. I am preaching in chapel at Southwestern Seminary this morning at 11 a.m. I ask that you pray. This is the school Liz and I attended in 1979. Seems like a long time ago. So much of who I am today took shape on this campus. Great men taught me and encouraged me. I am indeed thankful.

On Monday afternoon I flew into Dallas and had dinner with some old friends from my days in Garland, Texas where I was the pastor at Orchard Hills Baptist Church. This couple, who are now involved in a growing ministry, were just young and starting out when I first met them. They now have a ranch that in the summer serves as a camp for over 300 teenagers each week. They also have a Cowboy Church with about 100 in attendance on Sunday. They are doing a God-sized work in Jesus’ name. They launched out in faith and God is supplying the way. I was encouraged by their work. 

I was also encouraged Sunday at your response toward the project of refurbishing the Rabone House for ministry to local ladies. We have 75 days left to get things ready for an Easter open house. We can and will do it. Be watching the worship guide and this blog for ways you can help. Don’t miss out on a blessing.

Our ministry evangelism is a part of a great work God has called us all to do.  In those early days of my ministry, even during the time we were at seminary, God was revealing the call of evangelism as part of the work to which He would equip me. Let’s all hang on to the Lord. We are about to launch out into the deep. HE IS ABLE!
