Last Wednesday night was one of the greatest and all of you SO ROCK!
For those that missed it I will sum it up:
We started with the regular L.I.F.E. ministry that we are in and the students are pumped! The theme was: FAVORITE TEAM and just about everyone was dressed up and looking fine.
Sidenote: HOW DID WE FIT EVERYONE IN THAT ROOM? :-)
We are doing some games: 1) Carpisun Drinking Contest
2) Banana Eating/Cherry stem tieing relay
Both games go great and lead right into the lesson:
QUICK SUMMARY: People who do not know you can not know your heart, they only know what they see on the outside! So let your outside actions speak LOUD!!!! To think I summed up what took about 15 minutes to say!!
OKAY HERE IS WHERE I GET EMOTIONAL!
So we are finished and some adults start yelling for everyone to sit down b/c we are not done. Then in walks Tyler & Bethany with a bag full of cards & a HUGE balloon full of money. It was all a setup to let Amy & I know how much we are appreciated & loved. Can I tell you I heard the message LOUD & CLEAR.
That night Amy & I sat down and read every card!
SO PLEASE KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU ALL & THANK YOU!!!! The surprise was awesome!
Blown Away by your kindness,
Mickey

THE PLAN
Most people's biggest problem in reaching their friends/family/co-workers with the gospel is the lack of a plan. Well after last night, you have no excuse. For those of you that missed (aka: Jonas' Brothers Concert) let me catch you up.
Thus far THE PLAN includes:
1) Understanding that Salvation is for TODAY!!!!
2) Make sure you're in a right relationship w/ Christ (YOU FIRST!)
3) Make a list of all the people you know
4) Identify your "people you know list" by placing a cross beside the ones you know have a right relationship w/ Christ, place an x by those you know that have no relationship w/ Christ, an a question mark by those you are not sure about
5) Make a list of at least five people from your list that have either an x of ? mark by their name
6) Start targeting them w/ your prayers and opprotunities to talk to them about coming to church w/ you!
Please note: this method is what we are doing to have A PLAN to reach our friends with the gospel. Their are many different plans!! But to not plan at all to tell your friends about Christ will surely result in a fruitless life.
Next wednesday night (at Ignite), Mickey concludes the last step of THE PLAN!!!
GET ON THE PLAN,
Mickey
