Some of our disciplemaking friends, their families, and some of our neighbors gathered for TIME TOGETHER for brats, root beer floats, and disciplemaking friendships.
Pastor Dan Johnston of CrossPoint Church preaches through The Disciplemaking Genius of Jesus on Sunday mornings. You're invited to join us for disciplemaking training on Saturday morning, September 17 in Morton, IL, or on Saturday morning, October 1 in Gifford, IL. Contact me and I'll let you know details.
Stan Risinger (Man In the Mirror) and I will be traveling to the IL/IA border to meet with pastors and ministry leaders there to discern if God wants us to initiate a DLC (disciplemaking learning community) in that area this fall. Pray that God will show us WHO He wants to be a part of this!
I know. This looks like I'm having a meeting with my probation officer. However, it's me getting time with Don Allen, a guy who lives to make disciples who makes more disciples. He thinks I'm helping him. I know better.
Can You Help Us?
As you can see, we are busier than ever making disciplemakers everywhere we travel. However, like you, we’re feeling the impact of high gas prices and inflation. I want to be clear: We need your prayers and $ partnership for our disciplemaking ministry this summer. Can you help us this summer? If so go here. No gift is too small—and each gift would be deeply appreciated. Either way, we thank God for you.
"Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness."

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible. So, how did Jesus "build" community? This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people. At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible? It seems that Jesus enjoyed eating meals with all sorts of people—and the meal wasn't about the food—it was how Jesus connected with people. Can you think of a better way to connect with people?

Sometime ago, my dear friend, Dr. Ken Castor , invited me and 29 others to participate in creating a brand new out-of-the-box study Bible for the next generation. The Make a Difference student Bible is hot off the press! Here's WHY the M.A.D Bible is so needed right now . There's never been a study Bible for students quite like the M.A.D (Make a Difference) Bible ! It was so much fun to contribute to this Bible especially for students . I loved helping to write the introduction to the Old Testament and the introduction to the book of Leviticus. Yeah. That's right. Leviticus . There's so much to unpack about the M.A.D. Bible ! (Click on image above for viewing and reading.) Did I mention that this M.A.D study Bible is for the next generation —so they can "make a difference" for Jesus Christ in the world?
