Frisbees, Seizures, and Poison Control…
One thing you can generally never say about ministry is that it is boring. My big ministry emphasis last night was getting out the frisbees with the GOSPEL message link. I was getting a huge response from students. I even had a few adults ask for a frisbee. I gave […]

An Interesting Set of Tools for Sharing The GOSPEL…
This week is the County Fair in Parke County. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to do a lot of ministry there. I will see a lot of people that our church will probably only be able to connect with one or two other times of the year. Needless to […]
