Hi prayer friends,
I participated this past weekend in the Navigating Change Conference at Christ UMC in Fairview Heights, Illinois. It was a little too soon after Mardi Gras, but it went well.
I have started this week in going through the evaluations from Mardi Gras. That is always exciting learning how each man is doing. All the men need to do the basics in a small group on their first trip. It is always interesting reading about how they like or disliked their leader.
It is interesting also to find out how they rated their own performance doing the tracting, clowning, street preaching and one on one witnessing. I am always interested in reading the group leader’s assessment of how each man did in his group and then charting a course for each man for his benefit in the future.
From the evaluations filled out by every man, we learn a lot about what things seemed to have worked well and what things need to be changed. As we read the “highlights” of each man’s trip, we get a better feel for what the Lord was blessing and what people’s interests are. With the five camps, we have different styles of music in each one. Some people like one style while other people like another style. As Tom McDaniel would say “Anointed music means they are playing the kind of music I like.” I would appreciate your prayers as I go through the evaluations and then Abby, my secretary, will go through them and then the Advisory Board will go through them. We will tabulate the results and use the findings for our next event at the Indy 500 Outreach and for Mardi Gras next year.
FaceBook has turned out to be a winner for our Mardi Gras trip. I love seeing the pictures so many of the guys are posting. You can see a lot of the pictures by going to our page at “No Greater Love Ministries". Thanks to all who have been posting pictures.
Please remember
• Marvin and Karen Steinke’s ministry “Feed My Sheep” are in Honduras
• Troy Benitone and his ministry “Hands of Hope” will be in Liberia, Africa for one month
• Sarge and Sue McDonald are in the States raising funds to help them get back to Vietnam.
Thanks for your love, prayers and support.
Love ya’s,
Fred
