Are you ready? I mean, have you truly asked God to send you just one person this year that is ready to receive the Gospel and to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ? If you have, that is great! Let me encourage you to continue to pray that way and if you’ve not already started then let me encourage you to begin with that prayer ~ “Lord send me one person who is ready to receive the Gospel.” So, are you ready to share your faith, to be a faithful witness?

If you have asked or will ask the Lord to send you one person, will you be prepared to share the Gospel? A great starting point is to prepare your heart and strengthen your relationship with the Lord. One of the tools that will help you do that is the upcoming discipleship training class called Downpour.

Hosea 6:1 "Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.”

Did you notice how that verse begins? It begins with the word, “Come,” and that is your invitation to return to the Lord. The invitation is for every follower of the Lord. Is this verse speaking to you? It should, simply because it’s God’s word. Come, let’s return together…

I guarantee that if you join this discipleship class and honestly and earnestly apply the teachings to your life, it will do more for your personal walk with the Lord than ANY other teaching available today. If you want to kick-start your heart, this is your class. If you have been feeling a little dull with the church or your spiritual life, this is the one that will revive you like a breath of fresh air and cool cup of water; this is what you want. Class begins on Sunday January 10, from 5—6 p.m.

There is more Discipleship training too. The ladies classes with be studying the life of David with a class called Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed. Classes begin on Monday evening, January 11, and Tuesday morning, January 12.

But wait—that’s not all! We are also going to have another session of the Crown Financial Ministries class. An introductory class will be held in February; the first actual session will be in March. Also coming in March, watch for the Share Your Faith training developed by Evangelism Explosion. I’m coordinating that training now, so be watching for it, probably in March. We will also offer some training to become ministry partners with the Evangelism Response Center.

You have many choices to help you in your spiritual growth. I pray you’ll take advantage of these opportunities (don’t worry if there is more than one class you would like to take but can only take one right now. If there is enough interest we can offer the class again in the near future).

Remember, we’re all in this together and I’m pulling for ya, Bro. Danny
