Being in Gainesville this weekend was so invigorating! On Saturday morning, Elena I guided the mission team on a Prayer Walk around this glorious city and campus! We prayed over the former world rental car sales memphis Crossroads Church building; my ƩX Fraternity House and all of Frat Row; my old freshman dorm – Tolbert Hall; the Florida Football Stadium called The Swamp; the Library Quad – The Plaza of the Americas; the empty lot where the 14th Street Church of Christ once stood – the place I was baptized on April 11, 1972; and the new meeting place of the Gainesville International Christian world rental car sales memphis Church world rental car sales memphis – the Holiday Inn at the corner of University and 13th Street, which ironically and fittingly world rental car sales memphis is less than a block from where the Discipling world rental car sales memphis Movement began at the 14th Street Church of Christ in 1967!
God s glory has returned to Gainesville as on Sunday morning Mike Patterson delivered a sermon for the ages entitled,  Rebuilding The Wall Of Christianity!  This incredibly industrious mission team of 17 (with 22 other visiting disciples) had an incredible attendance of 99! (Yes, Mike and I looked all over for that missing sheep that would have given us 100, but we didn't find him!)
To illustrate just how far Christianity has drifted world rental car sales memphis from the truth, Mike used a recent quote from the Catholic Church's new pope – Francis, the man whom many consider to have a greater influence on the direction of Christianity than any other person on earth as he presides over 1.1 billion Roman Catholics. Mike read this except from Francis message at the Third Vatican Council,  The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well and redeems his own soul becoming an active participant in the redemption of humanity…
The church no longer believes in a literal world rental car sales memphis Hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see Hell as a literary world rental car sales memphis device… All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them… In the past the church has been harsh on those it deems morally world rental car sales memphis wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer world rental car sales memphis judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals; for pro-life and pro-choice; for conservatives and liberals – even Communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God… God is changing and evolving as we are…
Praise God that His truth never changes world rental car sales memphis as  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.   (Hebrews 13:8) Praise God that He is raising up young prophets and prophetesses like Mike Chenelle Patterson who are boldly  contending for the faith  against the lies and half-truths that those who do not know God so persuasively and demonically preach! (Jude 3) Praise God that His movement has returned to its original home! And to our Father be all the glory!
Capil Marhatta:  Greetings from the Sensational South! world rental car sales memphis What a glorious week this has been! The Lord continues to grow His church by restoring his daughter Rosa Centeno! Rosa, is a very influential dynamic young lady who was baptized world rental car sales memphis early in 2013 in the Campus Ministry, yet sadly returned back to her former life of alcohol and partying. Our God is truly the  Great Shepherd who goes after even His one lost sheep! (Hebrews 13:20)
Excitingly, we were able to witness an incredible wedding celebrated in the Southland Region Building as our beloved Andrew Shamika world rental car sales memphis Johnson renewed their vows to be a great example to their children and all the other people in their lives! Tim Lianne Kernan were able to baptize them last summer, so Tim was asked to re-marry them in the Kingdom! What a glorious day to rejoice!
Chris Broom of the OC Region:   Therefore I tell you, whatever world rental car sales memphis you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours . (Mark 11:24) Our 2014 Congregational Theme –  The Year Of Prayer  – has brought so many blessings already, and on Friday night, we decided to have a Prayer Night instead of our normal Bible Talks and Devotionals. It was so refreshing and unifying to come together and thank God in advance for answering our prayers!
Of course one of the things we are begging God for is a victorious Pledge world rental car sales memphis Drive as we call all of our new members added in 2012 and 2013 to increase their contribution and invest world rental car sales memphis even more in God's Kingdom and in our mission to evangelize the world in our generation! I was especially world rental car sales memphis encouraged today as I worshiped with the Campus Ministry House Church. Adam Blanco, who leads a Bible Talk at Fullerton College, gave a great contribution message where he told everyone that although he was baptized in 2010 and not called to increase his pledge, he was increasing anyway!
Then Emmett Kellog, a young disciple who is a member of the Cal State Fullerton Track Team, shared at our Leader s Meeting that even though it was a challenging time to increase his giving world rental car sales memphis due to school starting and the cost of books and tuition, he decided to answer the call and increase his pledge! Shortly after making this decision, his coach pulled him aside and informed him that because three other athletes on scholarship had dropped from the team, the college would be paying for all of Emmett s books and giving him $1,000! So Emmett is now on scholarship!
Chris Adams sent me word from the Single s Ministry world rental car sales memphis that while many OC Singles are struggling to find good paying jobs in this difficult economy, they decided to call out to God and beg Him to throw this Employment world rental car sales memphis Mountain into the sea! God blessed this Pray-4-a-Job Campaign world rental car sales memphis with FIVE jobs JUST LAST WEEK and TWO more that are probable THIS WEEK! I hope this inspires all disciples everywhere to have great faith and to continue to call on God who alone makes the impossible possible!
Chris Chloupek:   HOW YA DO IN? FROM THE AMS REGION! In the last several weeks, God has been doing great things in the AMS Region! Two Sundays ago, a visitor put $20,000 in $100 dollar bills in our collection basket! We weren t even praying for this! We applied that toward our Special Missions coming up in May. THANK YOU GOD!
Our region is studying the Book of Acts together in a quiet time series that was handed out and I am preaching on Acts on Sundays! We are so inspired how on fire our first century brother and sisters were to advance the gospel to all nations in their generation. We have committed to pray for that same passion and conviction to share our faith daily and be abundantly fruitful this year as over 68 disciples have been raised up and sent out of our region in the past three years! It is time to reap another harvest and do it all over again!
We have started up our Dance and Actor Workshops again! We are able to meet at the famous Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood. We rotate every other week our Dance and Actor Workshops. We choose a theme based on Scripture each week so everyone knows we are Artists who honor God with our craft. We had over 30 people at our first Actors Workshop last Monday world rental car sales memphis which included many visitors!
As I write this, I can t help but think of Ephesians 3:20,  Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.  Please be praying for our upcoming first ever GNN (Good News Network) Video that will be coming world rental car sales memphis out in the near future! It will feature our awesome London and Sao Paulo Churches along with other inspiring good news! Lastly, we have a new amazing AMS Website featuring all the calendar events, along with an inspiring slideshow, and the GNN movie! Check it out at  ams4God.com . I am very encouraged to hear about all the AMS Ministries that are rising up in your churches. They will compliment God's movement as we continue to Evangelize this World in our Generation!
Ighodaro Odighizuwa of Inland Empire:   The Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you and you will be changed into a different person.   (1 Samuel 10:6)  The Spirit of the Lord  has been moving in powerful ways in the Inland Empire Region! His promise to make whomever it comes on   into a different world rental car sales memphis person  has been fulfilled in Matthew who is the physical brother world rental car sales memphis to our spiritual brother Dennis in Orange County!
Matthew studied the Bible two years ago and refused to repent from some of his sins and thus never became a disciple. world rental car sales memphis God didn t stopped going after Matthew even as he grew deeper into his sin. Matthew came to church last Sunday, world rental car sales memphis and after listening to the powerful preaching, he went up to Erik af Klint (our Swedish world rental car sales memphis brother and intern) and said, Now I m ready to give up everything! That same night Matthew and I went into his house and gathered all the impurities and burned it at a park which drew the attention of the local fire department! When the firemen came, we had to explain to them what we were doing. They said that they appreciated world rental car sales memphis our honesty and warned us not to do it again. Matthew world rental car sales memphis took that as a warning from God and totally repented! After eagerly studying the Bible with the single brothers, world rental car sales memphis he was baptized today as sold-out disciple of Christ!
NEWS FLASH – Mike Patterson of Gainesville:  So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.  (Nehemiah 4:6) Nehemiah after hearing that the walls of Jerusalem were in shambles had a burning passion in his heart to see the walls rebuilt! Having faith and courage in the midst of tremendous opposition, in just 52 days, Nehemiah and the remnant of God s people com
