Speechless

This past Sunday was left me speechless. In the twelve years I have been a part of The Mission Community I have witnessed God move in some amazing ways. Yet on Sunday, he created another milestone in my life that I will never forget. Our community had the great honor and privilege to witness 12 people confess that Jesus Christ had changed their life and be baptized. I am so honored to be able to witness the movement of God.

THE PLACE OF PRAYER

Man, God uses Amena Brown in amazing ways...

WHY WE PRAY...

I really love the message in this video...Do You TRUST?

Please help spread the word

Dear Friends,

Day after day, we hear story after heartbreaking story of tragic violence and senseless
injustice in our local and national news media. We are sometimes appalled by the most
tragic of stories such as the recent witnessed gang rape of a 15 year old girl in California
that lasted two hours. Yet none of the witnesses raised a hand to help her until she was
brutally beaten and unconscious. But even in the worst, our personal lives
typically remain unfazed until violence touches us or someone we love. We become
almost oblivious to violence and injustice because we hear it so often that we minimize
the devastating effects to the unknown victims and their families. But when it happens to
us…to someone we love, our lives are dramatically changed. We look at life and injustice
from a different perspective. We shouldn’t wait until those tragic circumstances become
our own before we raise our voice against injustice. On July 17, 2010 The 3rd Annual
Stop the Violence Start the Love Movement will take place. The family-friendly event
shines a light on violence and crime within our city and raises awareness to the
many tragic and widespread consequences of violence. We seek to make a difference
by using our voices to give a voice to others as we invite all to take a stand against
injustice. The Rally will be filled with well- known speakers and music artists from
around the country who will share their testimonies and experiences as they use their
talents to bring awareness to the dangers of violence and abuse. There will be a variety
of children’s activities that provide fun entertainment. Many local non-profit organizations
will be on hand with information about their services. We will reach out with love and
hope to victims and their families as we remember their loved ones’ lives that were taken
or dramatically changed due to violence. Proceeds from the event will benefit the
Regional Crime Victims Crisis Center.

To make a difference in our neighborhoods and our city and we need YOUR HELP.


Live to Love,



Chad Mitchell

COMMUNICATION WITH THE CREATOR

In American society there is no denying the fact that many live their life in such a high paced way they often have very little time. Little time to rest, little time for silence, little time if any to relax and enjoy the beautiful aspects of life. As my life becomes more and more fast paced in days to come, there is no doubt there are many things that I will have to leave out of my schedule. Yet there are some that I absolutely forbid to eliminate. Time with family, time for laughter, and most of all time away with my God will not be deleted from my daily to do list. As I am preparing for a new series called PRAYER at church, It has often brought about a few questions about why people don't pray...

I believe there are four common reason why people don't pray

1) They are not sure they know how to pray.
2) They get bored or distracted while trying to pray.
3) They think their requests are too small for God.
4) They are not sure their prayers will make a difference.

Regardless of our insecurities, doubts, or even common routines, there is absolutely no way we can possibly have a healthy relationship with our Creator without being in communication with Him...

When's the last time you got away and prayed with gut level honestly for the things that mattered to you? I pray this question will disturb you as much as it has me in recent days.

Live to Love.
