Pastor Joe and I attended a very inspiring breakfast with Will Graham yesterday with about 30 other pastors. As you can see from the photo, he looks just like his famous grandfather Bill Graham. And he talks like him too!
Some points to take home-
1. There is unusual momentum in our area for the celebration. There has been a much greater response than normal to the classes and seminars. The Graham staff think that an unusually large number of people will come to Christ based on the interest, and that God is doing something special in our area. We want to be part of this.
2. Will said that at this time we need to make prayer for the lost a priority, with only 2 months to go.
3. Will exhorted us NOT to invite people, but to bring them with us (like in our car). He said upwards of 80% of those who come who need Christ are brought by others, not invited, and certainly don't come via media or ads. He also said he did not want us to bring Christians, as believers so often do. Bring someone who needs Jesus!
It was all quite inspiring. Hope you can attend the life and witness classes this week.
