Hey Guys,
I just returned from Nepal a couple of weeks ago. Shortly before that, I was in Ethiopia. The purpose of the trips was to determine if and how God wanted BRCC to be involved.
I have always known that God wanted us to be involved in taking the Gospel to “the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). For a number of years early in our ministry, that was the main focus. But, over time, I realized that we were neglecting “Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria” (our own hometowns, neighbors, and families). So, as a church, God moved our focus to bring it back into balance. He carried us on a Journey which brought personal evangelism to its current state at Blue Ridge. There are now dozens of people being baptized several times a year. (This past weekend, we baptized nearly 50 people—the majority being new believers.) Yea God!
So it’s not surprising that God has begun to bring other parts of the world to our attention—places that never hear the Good News if somebody (why not us?) doesn’t go.
We are getting to be part of sending people into the red light district of Managua, Tibetan orphans back into their villages, and native evangelists into a rural and receptive Ethiopia as well as into many rural villages in India—all for the purpose of telling lost people about Jesus Christ. And we’re not just sending money. Yes, we are helping resource these folks, but many of us will be going personally.
God is moving BRCC into a new era. What part does He want you to play in it?

Isaiah 6:8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me !
Woody, I just want to say thanks. It is because of the inspiration and wisdom the Holy Spirit pours out of you every Sunday that I followed the promptings of the Holy Spirit in my heart and leaned in way past my comfort zone. Now part of a feats of strength ministry spreading the gospel, me an evangilist. A man who has only been saved 5 years myself. A boy who was raised not knowing God at all. Our God is an awesome God! I guess I must also confess to you that when I do these feats the tag line I yell out comes from something I learned from you that has stuck with me"HINA!"
Nice and thanks!
