You and I stand side by side on every issue so far. The only difference
is that we don't have Challengers at our church yet. I see it coming
soon due to some of our Trailblazers. Due to them we have the
Trailblazer group now. Also, the vision that God gave me 2 1/2 years ago
for Rangers at our church will take the entire church to make it happen.
Praise God won't that be great. Also since attending NTC three weeks ago
and FCF Family Days this weekend, God revealed to me that the vision is
for the entire country and even the world. Almost like a purifying fire
or the fire of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, The fire sweeping
across the land. Turing our cities upside down for Christ. I've been
praying that God starts with me, move to all that know me and then on to
others just like a wildfire spreads and consumes all. A revival fire to
ignite us for God and spread though our cities and towns, from one to
another until the entire country is ablaze for God again.
Now you've seen my soap box. I thing I gave your change back and some
extra. It's your turn to give back the extra now. God is good, ALL the
time.
Kerry Mangum.
