Martha and I have had a wonderful month away. We have traveled and stayed at home. We have spent time with my mother and the families of both of our daughters. We deeply and sincerely appreciate your kindness in giving us this time.

I don’t think I can emphasize enough what a privilege it is for us to talk about “Sharing Jesus without fear.“ This is a wonderful opportunity that I hope you will not miss.

Later in the summer we will have another opportunity for training in sharing your faith. Hopefully, both of these together will enable us to have more “gospel conversations” which are natural and deliberate.

What we know is that many people need multiple gospel conversations before they are ready to make a commitment to Christ. You and I can help facilitate those conversations and interactions.

We know how sad and difficult it is to be “without hope and without God.“

May you and I help other people to know our wonderful Lord.

Beginning soon, I and all of our campus pastors, will begin preaching through the Book of James. Though we can’t be completely sure, we believe James was the first of the New Testament books and was written to instruct new believers.

We will be preaching “What Every Christians Needs.” We hope you will join us each week.
