Notable Quotes...
"There are a lot of people who want to connect with God but not the church."
"Scripture is replete with people gathering around Jesus...people who were unaccepted by the religious leaders of the day...people who weren't accepted in the church."
"We have to embrace people where they are and see their God-given potential."
"When something is lost, it becomes the focus of your attention. You pay little attention to that which is found."
"You are labeled 'lost' because you are valuable to God."
"How do you think God feels when he sees his children lost and all of the search & rescue people are just sitting around singing songs, reading their books, and roasting marshmallows?"
"It doesn't matter how many are already found. What matters is how many are still lost."
"Invest in the life of one person and look for opportunities to invite them to someplace where they will hear the Gospel or someplace where they will see the Body of Christ at work."
"We'll do what's difficult for you, and you do what's impossible for us. We'll answer their questions; you introduce them to us."
