Being a part of it all

 

Last week Rick Warren visited Cru's Headquarters at Lake Hart.  He is leading Finishing the Task, a collaborative effort to find every unengaged, unreached people group in the world and connect them with a church or ministry that will commit to sending to that group.  In his presentation, he said, "there has never been an evangelistic tool as effective as The Jesus Film."  

On June 1, we opened Wings A and B at our Lake Hart campus.  These wings will house the Jesus Film Project neighborhood.  Here is the ribbon cutting.



Josh Newell, the director and ribbon cutter recently shared some reports illustrating Rick's quote.  Take a few minutes to watch these. I know you will be encouraged.

Malee's Story is a four and one half minute reenactment of a true story of life change from the country of Cambodia.  Through an ad on Facebook, Malee found hope and freedom.



A Time to Plant is a 2 minute video on the power of God displayed to a community through the prayers of a Jesus Film Team.


You are a part of these stories.  Through your partnership with our ministry you are investing in the effectiveness of this ministry.  In the last few years Dayna and I helped with Rick Warren's transition to leading Finishing the Task, helped coach the Jesus Film Project leadership team in succession strategies, and have been helping prepare the Jesus Film Project office and studio space through our Transforming Lake Hart Project.  I think it's all pretty amazing.

Give thanks to God for how he is using this ministry, and your investment in the Great Commission.

We are so thankful for your investment in our lives and ministry.

With love,


 


P.S.  Tonight Cara, Perry, Zeke, Titus and Bowen arrive for a 2 week Grandkid Fest!  We are so excited.  I borrowed a bounce house and we have the canoe ready for some rides!
