You are transparent and honest. You are full of love, grace and mercy. How do I know? Listen to Jesus. ... Out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks. The good man (you) out of his (your) good treasure brings forth good things ... (Matthew 12:34-35). "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21). Look who Jesus is and what He calls US to do in Matthew 9:35-38 in the Message: Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places, reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives. When he looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. So confused and aimless they were, like sheep with no shepherd. "What a huge harvest!" he said to his disciples. "How few workers! On your knees and pray for harvest hands!" You are doing the will of God, Doug. We are called to reach out to the confused and aimless. We are called to to infuse them with peace, passion and purpose. How? THROUGH THE TWELVE TRAITS OF OUTREACH MINISTRY! God Bless You Richly, Dan Hi Pastor Doug,

I love your heart. You are transparent and honest. You are full of love, grace and mercy. How do I know? Listen to Jesus. … Out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks. The good man (you) out of his (your) good treasure brings forth good things … (Matthew 12:34-35). “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21).

Look who Jesus is and what He calls US to do in Matthew 9:35-38 in the Message:

Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places, reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives. When he looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. So confused and aimless they were, like sheep with no shepherd. “What a huge harvest!” he said to his disciples. “How few workers! On your knees and pray for harvest hands!”

You are doing the will of God, Doug. We are called to reach out to the confused and aimless. We are called to to infuse them with peace, passion and purpose. How? THROUGH THE TWELVE TRAITS OF OUTREACH MINISTRY!

God Bless You Richly,

Dan
