In the Fall of 1997, I was 6 months into my first ministry
and I got terribly ill…
·
Some details of the illness
·
Wiffle ball appendix
·
Springfield
·
Daily people coming to pray for me
·
Sr Pastor came many times …once to give last
rights
·
Mom read me JAMES… I recovered
·
But the people by the bed-side made a huge
difference… the body of Jesus taking care of one of it’s own with time, energy
and prayer… makes a huge difference
Don’t know exactly why you are here today… marriage,
hospital team, or another ministry… but one thing I do know: YOU ARE NEEDED
This may be my last time addressing this group
·
Transition
·
I want to do a few things today
o
Thank you!
o
Encourage you
o
Share some video stories
o
Turn this over to Mike for the future
o
Celebrate you!
THANKS – hours, time, prayers à
you don’t know who’s life has been impacted à
look at what’s happened in my life due to the fact that I am still here!
ENCOURAGE – Philippians 2:1-7
1.
I believe these teams have a unity of heart…
let’s not lose that!
2.
I believe these teams can have a unity of
purpose… let’s pursue that!
3.
I believe these teams will have unity when they
model Jesus… let’s stay intimate with Him, so that when we are “squeezed”
that’s what comes out!
