I'm making a big "ask."
Will you travel to LaPorte County and meet with me at the former home of Countryside Christian Church this Tuesday? (April 17th at 6:30 p.m. Central / 7:30 p.m. Eastern time) The address and map is here.
That's the bottom line of this blog, but if you'd like to know the "why" behind the "what" you can read on...

God gave GCC a vision for 2016. After months and months of prayer, Bible study and discussion, we discerned God's invitation to join Him in His work. Now GCC's 2016 Vision is clear.
We're experiencing God together.
Remember the first six of Blackaby's "Seven Realities of Experiencing God?"
- God is always at work around you.
- God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.
- God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.
- God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways.
- God’s invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
- You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.
As we've obeyed God and taken steps toward the fulfillment of the vision He gave us, it appears God is giving us another unbelievable opportunity.
I rarely ask you to attend something on such a short notice, but if you live in or near LaPorte County, or you're amped about God's vision for the church, I really believe you'll want to "make a major adjustment" in your schedule and come to this meeting tomorrow. You'll want to hear about the opportunities in front of us.
I need your help. God reveals his ways through the Bible, prayer, a reasonable evaluation of circumstances, and his church, so we need each other as we discern God's plans.
I hope you'll modify your schedule this Tuesday and meet with me in LaPorte. Don't forget the change in Time Zones. It's a big ask, but I'd love to see you there.
Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
the DeJesus will be there!
