Summer Olympics: Let the Games (and the Prayers) Begin!

The Summer Olympics begin next Friday (August 8) and end on August 24th! I love the Summer Olympics. Track and Field is my favorite but I also love watching soccer and gymnastics!

Suffering for Jesus
The Olympic games will be held in CHINA this year. Many Christians are persecuted in China (tortured, put in prison, etc) because they love Jesus and are not afraid to let people know they love Jesus.

One in suffering
I want to encourage us, as FUSION ministry, to join in the sufferings of our brothers and sisters in China during the days of AUGUST 8-AUGUST 24th . Let's be ONE with them and PRAY for them each day.

Deeper! Luke 5:1-11

We just got back from the SUMMER RETREAT '08! The theme was "DEEPER"...BASED on LUKE 5:1-11 (key verse is verse 4--see below)!

Steve, Sallie, and I talked about going "DEEPER" with JESUS CHRIST...

What areas in your life is CHRIST CALLING YOU to go "DEEPER" in WITH HIM?

*Scripture Meditation?
*Praying for the church and the world?
*Loving your family members?
*Obeying your parents?
*Witnessing; not being afraid to speak the Name of Jesus and letting others know you love Christ?
*Calling on God to help you put an end to a sin you are having trouble with?

*What areas in your life is CHRIST CALLING YOU to go "DEEPER" in with HIM?

LUKE 5:4-->

PUT OUT INTO DEEP WATER, AND LET DOWN THE NETS FOR A CATCH.

---Jesus

*THANKS to my twin BRO, BRAD, for the "DEEPER" GRAPHIC in this blog!
