A Week of Outreach Begins

Today is the beginning of a day of outreach. Marvin Phillips is preaching for three nights. Churches in Nashville are doing Christmas-oriented outreaches during the weekend. Will Reed will preach Sunday. Three preachers are here from out of town to do mission work. Reconstruction continues. Pray for the harvest! I was only at the building for a little while this morning. Long enough to meet a lady who lived in her conversion van for a while. She took hers and her fiance's FEMA money and bought a used motor home. Her children are at her mother's. She has cervical cancer and looked very weak. She wanted food, hygiene supplies, and had hopes that we could give her kids a few gifts for Christmas. I think we can tackle that. The Watsons from Newton, AL were able to deliver gifts to two families they adopted. From the looks of the load of stuff they brought, these families were going to have one great Christmas. I suspect the Watsons received as much joy as those they sought to benefit. Marvin Phillips' message tonight was so appropriate, so passionate, and so encouraging. We had a full house with lots of visitors. We have four preachers here visiting: Marvin, Tim from Humboldt, Cecil from Fulton, and Miles from South Fulton. We will have a breakfast in the morning and create a strategy for the use of our time here together. Pray for souls to be won to Jesus during this week of outreach.
