Powerful Words

This week I have received many notes, letters, and emails from other pastors and congregations from our area and around the world. Many of our missionaries have emailed words of encouragement and congratulations.

I have been reminded that words are a powerful thing. Each communication has been a blessing.

Perhaps the greatest words shared were "your passion for getting the Gospel out is a blessing to us." Two reasons these words jumped out at me: 1) getting the Gospel out is our passion and 2) being a blessing to other churches, pastors, and to missionaries is one of our highest priorities.

I am grateful that others have captured the heart of our passion and are blessed by our priority to encourage them!
