Champions of the week!
It’s been a long time since we’ve honored these folks, huh?
That’s not for any lack of champions, it’s just slipped my ADD mind.
Anyway, I was in the worship center tonight alone (before the Saturday evening service) and I went over to read the names on the CD’s.
Wow!
That can really get you choked up.
Some are filled with names. Some have just one or two.
The ones that grabbed me the most were the ones with parents names or the name of a son or daughter. Once again, there were several that read simply, ‘Dad,’ or ‘Dad and Mom.’
It’s especially motivating to me to pray and do all I can to get people to Southbrook when I read things like that.
Thanks to all the champions who are taking up the challenge and paving the way for that great day!
These are real people!
Co-workers, neighbors, family and friends.
I hope you’ll pray with me for the over 650 people and that you’ll do whatever it takes to get them to
I can hardly wait!

It is so cool how our children and teens are bringing in friends left and right. Matter of fact, doing check-in we see this with at least once a service.
I think it is great to remind people that our unsaved friends and family are spiritually crimpled. Understanding that makes it a lot more personal and real. Rob, don’t stop reminding us that we need to have a sense of urgency.
Last night after the service, my 13 year old daughter, Emily asked if we could bring her friend, Hannah next week. She had written Hannah’s name on a CD in the cafe. Hannah’s family are non-practicing Jews. Her mom has never allowed Hannah to come with us to church in the past. Emily has been praying for her for years. Please join us in praying for an openness of heart for this family!
