We will be doing a mailout to 18,000 homes regarding our preview services on July 27 and August 17.  Our theme will be Make A Difference.  We are looking for people who want to do more than just go to church.  We are looking for people who want to truly make a difference in the world. The Core Team (about 15 of us) are praying that God will increase our number to 50 by the time we launch on September 7.  I pray for 50 people who will be passionate about helping huritng people who need to know how much God loves them.

I was reading recently about the incredible sales of books like The Secret that came out in December of 2006 and had sold 1.75 million copies by March 2007.  The editor of Publishers Weekly, Sara Nelson described the popularity of this get-rich-quick book by saying, "Nobody ever went broke overestimating the desperate unhappiness of the American public."

We cannot possibly overestmate the desperate unhappiness of the American public.  Today I drove by Faith Christian School and looked at the doors we will use an entrance to FOTP Grapevine and thought of the many unhappy, desperate people God will bring our way who will find true joy and purpose in Christ.  Pat, Caroline and  I along with our CORE TEAM can't wait to see what God is going to do.
