Boston Bound

Friday afternoon, I was asked if I would be available to fly to Boston.

"So...what's in Boston?"

Well, I'm glad you asked. This years upcoming Mission Maker magazine will feature a 6 page layout containing the status of the world in numbers. Basically it would be charts and stats of the Christian influence and what we as Christians need to work on. (Unreached peoples, certain religious groups, etc.) I can't give you more details because I don't know them myself. Which is why I'm going to Boston.

"So...why do you need to go to Boston again?"

For several months, STEM CEO Roger Peterson has been in contact with Dr. Todd Johnson. He is nationally known for his work with Christ related statistics. He has a laundry list of accomplishments and just being able to meet with him for Mission Maker is an honor. The Lord has truly used him in the area of number crunching and now we get the privelage to illustrate those numbers/souls. Pretty cool. (Here's a link to his bio.)


"When will you be in Boston?"

May 31st - June 2nd, I'll be in Boston. Roger, our editor Dana, and I will be leaving Minneapolis at 10:31 am on the 31st and will return to the Twin Cities at 8:24 pm on the 2nd. By the time we leave, I need to have some examples of what we might be able to do with Dr. Johnson's numbers graphically. (Nope, I have no idea of how to pull it off, but I have confidence that I will.)

Anyway, that's it for now. I need to give a shout-out to J-Bone since his 21st birthday was yesterday.

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY J-BONE!

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification —Romans 15:2

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
In keeping with the greatest commandment, we are to love our neighbors (everyone) as ourselves. We are called to lift up others, in Christ, for their own good so that we may show them Christ's love.

BE IN PRAYER FOR:
THE WORLD RELIGION AND CULT/SECT/OCCULT GROUPS THAT ADVERTISE IN HOMOSEXUAL PUBLICATIONS
There are an estimated 275,000 homosexuals linving in the Twin Cities. (The homosexual community themselves would claim higher estimates.)

While praying for people practicing homosexuality, we must love them as Christ loved us. If we engage them or if they come to a church we are attending, we must love them and not necessarily focus on their lifestyle, but show them Christ's teachings. After all, there is no sin greater than another. But all sin doesn't have the same consequences either.

HOMOSEXUAL CHURCHES: The following is a list of churches that are exlusively for the homosexual, bi-sexual, and transgender population of the Twin Cities.
• Church of the Earth, Aquarian Wicca, Minneapolis
