The Most Fruitful Year Ever
I haven't been able to get one sentence from Mark's last sabbatical update out of my mind: I think we've seen more conversions at CHBC this year than any year I've been here. That statement is coming now after 14 years of ministry at CHBC!
I sometimes am tempted to become discouraged by a lack of evident fruitfulness. It's easy to confuse the fruits of faithful evangelism with the practice of faithful evangelism. And I do certainly long to see more conversions in and through our congregation. But I am encouraged by the reminder that God is very faithful and the most fruitful days may still be in front of our congregation. Here's praying that by God's grace we can all join Mark and write that same sentence in our blogs at the end of 2009!
