Glocal Mission Project (Global + Local)

Have you ever wanted to go to a global mission project but can’t afford the cost financially or time? On August 15, from 8:00am to 5:00pm there will be a one day mission project to Bhutanese refugees. Most have lived in refugee camps for 18 years and have little knowledge about how to take care of their apartments. We are going to supply them with cleaning supplies and help clean their apartments as we show them how to keep their surroundings clean. This is a great trip for ages 12 and up. There will be an orientation and training time on August 9, at 12:30pm in the Fireside Room. Register online to attend. For more information contact John Shapiro at john.shapiro@fbcmckinney.com.

The Unlikely Disciple

The story that Kevin Roose unpacks in The Unlikely Disciple is a challenging exploration in the subculture of fundamental Christian education. In his brutally honest and grace filled narrative, he tells the story of his semester long involvement at Liberty University. He completely jumps into the experience including prayer groups, joining the choir, meeting for discipleship, and even sharing his “faith” on a beach evangelism trip. Through it all he gives thoughtful critic of this new lifestyle.

It was extremely convicting to read Roose’s account. I was forced to asked questions about the way I look at following Christ, discipleship, and how we communicate and interact with the world around us. I am grateful for the gift of this book to both the evangelical community and to those who disagree with us. This should be required reading for all church and ministry leaders.

This is a great video I got from http://jesusneedsnewpr.blogspot.com/2009/06/questions-letter-to-god.html. Think well...

What does this tell us?

This is the lead sentence from the Orlando Sentential On-line. What do you think this can tell us about the way people search and process infromation?

"An estimated 2 million people a day look for God on Google."
