Mega-ego

While mega-churches get most of the spotlight in our day, this is also a day of mega-egos, not necessarily connected to mega churches. After a stirring testimony of conversion, a young man was asked who was responsible for his decision. “I don’t remember” he replied, “I only heard from God.” Those of us who share the good news need to be reminded occasionally that we are not the good news, but the messenger of such. Paul said his decision to share came, “not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father” (Gal. 1:1). The call to share is a high and holy calling, but it is the voice of God that needs to be heard when we share.

Thanks for re-subscribing and transitioning with us through our change in delivery systems. One of the changes made, is that “A Funny Thing Happened on my Way to Heaven” will no longer be sent via an occasional e-mail, but will now appear as a link on the Monday Morning Memo that you can click to read the funny things. In fact, if you haven’t read “Summer Youth Camp,” click below for a trial run. Actually “Funny Things” is in the process of being released in book form. Stay tuned.

Join me in prayer for the following global concerns:
• God’s direction in a partnership with a Ukrainian Church who is willing to work together with Ukrainian/American students to serve in different places.
• For the healthy birth of “Bush Baby II” to missionary parents in Uganda.
• Medical outreach among some of the Roma refugees that are still in Macedonia from the Kosovo conflict nearing 9 years ago.
Thank you for your ongoing prayer for the Casino Workers Outreach in Macau. Another Seed Project distribution (gift distribution to casino workers) is scheduled for this coming week, Aug 25-28. The target is to distribute 1500 gift packets in 5 locations, which covers up to 10 different casinos.
