Last Call for the Indy 500!!


LAST CALL FOR THE INDY 500!! 
This is the last weekend to recruit.  Let’s get with it Mighty Men of God!!

I remember when we used to see a sign that had Uncle Sam on it and it read-----“Uncle Sam NEEDS You!”  That is where we are today with the Indy 500.  We will have a roll call of the States and then see who responded to the Lord saying---“Whom shall I send, and who WILL go for me?”  Will you join with me and say with Isaiah-----“Here am I, O Lord, SEND ME?”  “Many are called, but few prove themselves to be chosen.”

I was reading in I Chronicles about how the Lord gave David victories fighting against his enemies.  Then David replied that the victory was not about him, but about Israel.  The Lord spoke to my heart: No Greater Love Ministry is not about me, but about all of us who are willing to answer the call to go forth to do battle for our Lord.  We make such little use of what the Lord is willing to do in and through us.  He said that we can ask Him and He will give us the nations for our inheritance.

Today, Marvin and Karen Steinke have over 20 people in Honduras.  Sarge and Sue McDonald are in Vietnam.  Mark Krupa is in the Czech Republic.  Jim Bates just returned from the Amazon.  Troy Benitone led a group to Liberia, Africa. Common Ground just returned from Honduras. God is still looking for willing men to go forth throughout the world.   It is still the Great Commission (ADVENTURE) for all of us.  The song lyric that continues to challenge me is “But the question comes to me as I think of Calvary, IS MY MASTER SATISFIED WITH ME?”

Let’s be like Andrew in the Bible, who was not satisfied to just know Jesus for himself, who went to get his brother.  Let’s all of us who claim the Name of Jesus, bring every man we can to experience the Lord and feel His pleasure as we  lift up the Lord together at the Indy 500.

Each event we go to together allows us to build on the previous event.  I am so thankful for all of you who work with us faithfully realizing that as we love and trust the Lord we get closer to the Lord and to each other.

See you at the Indy!!

Love ya’s,
Fred
