Yesterday morning I had a good meeting with my pastor as we discussed everything from golf, health, theology, and the church. \u00a0I was blessed to be able to catch up (since I’m out so much) and share my heart of evangelism as the pastor shared his vision of the missional church. \u00a0Good to be on the same page since I am on staff, sort of. \u00a0It’s a very unique and not so common position, the Staff Evangelist. \u00a0A church has to have a vision of, and a conviction to take care of God’s man as he does a work that keeps him relatively “invisible” in his home church. \u00a0Out of sight, out of mind, is the danger in this type relationship, but Hillcrest has not fallen into that trap in the least. \u00a0Rather, the support we are given enables us to do the work all over the country and some other parts of the world. \u00a0I am so grateful for God’s leadership.<\/p>\n
Patty checked in on her dad yesterday to find he had slipped and fallen in the shower. \u00a0Praise the Lord that he was just bruised and nothing worse. \u00a0We’ve been trying to get Life Alert for about a month and it finally came yesterday, late. \u00a0Not in time for the fall, but now it’s there so we feel much better now. \u00a0Patty plans on going into Yazoo City next week and checking up on everything as well as getting him to his oncologist follow-up on Friday, Feb. 1st.<\/p>\n
Your prayers and support are such a gift of God to us and we thank you. \u00a0Please continue.<\/p>\n
Blessings,
