I too was thrilled to see a good turnout Friday night at Lakeside Park. Right off the bat the Lord provided a divine appointment for me and Steve (my partner for the evening) with Chavo--a middle aged catholic man. He reluctantly received my Million Dollar Bill tract, then agreed to talk about the Million Dollar Question on the back. He was somewhat skeptical of us at first, even asking us what we were doing in the park. But, after we began talking about the reality of sin, death, judgment, hell, God's amazing grace in Jesus and our need to repent and trust Jesus, he began to warm up to us. He was glad we talked with him about such important matters. It turns out that he lived relatively close to our church building, so I gave him one of my cards and invited him to our Sunday Celebration. I praise God for this opportunity to sow the seed of the gosepl into Chavo's life and I pray and trust that the Holy Spirit will bring him to repentance and faith.

Spurgeon Quote
"She is a traitor to the Master who sent her if she is so beguiled by the beauties of taste and are as to forget that to "preach Christ... and Him crucified" is the only object for which she exists among the sons of men. The business of the Church is salvation of souls."
"Soulwinning is the chief business of the Christian; indeed, it should be the main pursuit of every true believer."
"Our first care must be that the sheep are gathered to the Great Shepherd."
"To make proselytes is a suitable labor for Pharisees. To lead men to God is the honorable aim of all laborers of Christ."
"You must not imagine that in this church all who have come to Christ nominally have come really."
"Every Christian here is either a missionary or an impostor."

The Purpose of Man, by Emeal Zwayne
The purpose of man it to know his Maker
Be known by his Maker
And make his Maker known
So that others may know his Maker as their Maker
Be known by his Maker as their Maker
And make the Maker of him who made his Maker known to them as their Maker
Known as the Maker of others
So that others may know the Maker of him who made his Maker known
As the Maker of the ones
Who made the Maker of the one
Who made his Maker known to them as their Maker, known as their Maker
As their Maker
And that they may also be known by Him
And make Him known to others
Who will in turn know Him
Be known by Him
And in multiplicity to the degree of infinitude
Make Him known
Be known by his Maker
And make his Maker known
So that others may know his Maker as their Maker
Be known by his Maker as their Maker
And make the Maker of him who made his Maker known to them as their Maker
Known as the Maker of others
So that others may know the Maker of him who made his Maker known
As the Maker of the ones
Who made the Maker of the one
Who made his Maker known to them as their Maker, known as their Maker
As their Maker
And that they may also be known by Him
And make Him known to others
Who will in turn know Him
Be known by Him
And in multiplicity to the degree of infinitude
Make Him known

Pastor Phil,
Thanks for all of your encouragement, the time that you have spent mentoring me, and for being my friend. I greatly appreciate you. I look foward to the days head as the LORD leads us to new adventures.
