Thanks for your prayers. My message was well received by St Paul AME Church in Springfield. I was particularly encouraged by the pastor's openness to its principles. She thought it was material worthy of being taught in seminary. She is using the workbook in Wednesday night Bible Class and the new book in a small group Women's Bible Study. She wants me to come back next year and reinforce the message. The regional elder also attended. He gladdened my heart when he observed "We spend a lot of time asking people to give money, but your message is that God wants them to give themselves." Hallelujah!
Last night, I had some time to kill while I awaited the end of my sons basketball practice. I felt led to visit the Wheaton Library (which is nearby). By the way, I never do this. I'm not a library person. I don't have a card. To my surprise, I discovered that they ordered a copy of the workbook in November and someone had already put it on hold awaiting its arrival. Pretty neat. God continues to affirm His activity in this effort and that He is pursuing His plans and purposes. What He is doing is much bigger than me. I seek to do my part but the increase and glory are His.
Yours In Christ
Larry
