No-one likes to hear "we need money" and yet ministries of any size or shape wouldn't function well, if at all, without funding. We'd like to thank those of you who have helped us with contributions this month. You have encouraged us and enabled us to meet some, but not all, of our very immediate needs. With yours and God's continued assistance, we will continue to help meet the needs of His body one family at a time, one congregation at a time, one neighborhood at a time. Thank-you!

When do we need to get involved? Now! Operation WINN is a strategic plan for identifying neighbors and building bridges between neighborhoods leading to the development of true "community." The training includes a sermon series titled “Obedient to the Vision” which examines the vision God has given us all.  The second part trains how to put “Faith in Motion” and is a seven-part mobilization plan.  Both are to be installed as part of the operating strategy and system for the church reaching the community – OUTSIDE THE WALLS.  For more details on this training and others that we offer, call Hank at 303-239-9123 or check out our website.

Refreshment Stand

 Before the world can accept that a Savior died for their sins, they need to believe one thing: that they matter. Sure, they need to believe that they've "sinned," but sinned against whom? Who's Out There that cares? Because our need to matter is so deeply wired within us, infants who are not nurtured will die. Children and adults who are neglected can die or become deeply disturbed.

Despite an exhaustive search for signifcance, the world remains unconvinced. Are YOU convinced? Really? Just in case, try this: make a list of every reason you've ever had to believe that God knows of your existence. Record every divine intervention and every affirmation. Then read the Scriptures and jot down as many verses as you can to prove once-and-for-all that you matter to God. When your list is ready, bring it to Him in prayer, and for the last time -- lay down your search for significance. You really DO matter to Him. Let it soak into your soul.

Now get up and do the most important thing you could ever do: pass it on. Yes, the unbelievers need to hear the salvation message, but let them hear this message first: God IS listening because they DO matter to Him. When you tell them that God loves them, you'll be able to tell them with sincere conviction. Because you know that He loves you, too.

Disturb us, Lord, to let the world know they matter to You. Help me to truly love my neighbor.
