We have more!
So which Country has the most Christians? It's gotta be the United States right? Nope. It's Africa. 48,260 new Christians everyday! Everyday! That's 18,000 more people than my hometown of Moorhead that are going to go to heaven. Everyday! In fact, North America is 5th.
Hmmm...not so Christian now are we?
Anyway, that is just a glimpse of the info that the lead article this year will contain. What the graphic designers (me and Dena) challenge is, is to display the info so that people will actually want to read it. I am one of those people who sees a page with graphs, charts, and numbers and I will turn it not giving it the time of day.
So how do you make statistics interesting?
Well, if you ask Barry Bonds, Floyd Landis, or Hulk Hogan, use steroids. But since we don't have access to the magazine version of the drug, we have to use our creativity. Hopefully God will give us some amazingly effective ideas and concepts. Only time will tell how it turns out. I'm interested in what the feedback will be.
Anyway, I'm currently engrossed in Mission Maker and hopefully it won't turn into a tremendous burden. My biggest challege is not design and art direction, but rather giving it up to God. I always want to do it my self and when that happens, it will never reach it's full potential.

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.
For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
—Psalm 30:4 and 5
HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
We all have our "good days" and "bad days" and sometimes those days (good and bad) can stretch into weeks or even longer. If you happen to be on a "bad day" stretch, just remember each new morning brings a renewed hope. A hope that God has heard our cries and will lift whatever burden may have been upon us. So persevere through those "bad days" knowing you have justified hope in the Lord.
BE IN PRAYER FOR:
WITCHCRAFT IN THE TWIN CITIES
There are an estimated 20,000 witches of all types who live in our metro area who meet in 179 different witch covens/groups. Many witches are drawn to the Twin Cities area because of the many lakes and rivers, which have spiritual significance to them.
