Thanks Commanders for sharing what your doing with your outpost. I enjoy hearing the reports and get ideas and encouragement from them.
Tonight I get to do the devotion at a Bronze Medal of Achievement Ceremony for 5 boys. Most of the time I organize the events and rarely have the privilege to do a devotion. Its better to have as much involvement as possible. So pray for me tonight for God's anointing. My devotion starts with honor and ends with Does Jesus know you. It weird. I feel more weight for this little 10 minute devotion than getting a 20 leaders 2 hour training class together. God's word is powerful and how I wield that 2 edged sword can make a difference in eternity for someone. Praise God for the opportunity. Mark Jones p.s. Thanks Guys for sharing. The devil with try to convince you that you are bragging as he doesn't want this kind of encouragement going out. While the truth is the bible says to confess what God has done. The reports of souls saved stirs the Holy Spirit in each of us. Keep on keeping on! On Tue, 2 Mar 2004 21:46:12 -0600 "djholland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Well, we had a great weekend!
