I was so impressed with Craig Groeschel "10 Reasons..." I wanted to put it on my blog hoping more people would read it and pass it on. Please see below.
Am teaching at Mattersey Hall Bible College in Northern England and having a great time! 15 minutes from where the Wesley's grew up! A church right across from this school has records of the actual pilgrims that came to America! If we find something 100 years old in America we think it is a big deal--tonight I went to dinner with Dr. Paul & Carol Alexander's the President here at MH in Linclon, England and there is huge Cathedral there that was built in 1079! Paul said it costs $100,000 US to operate it per week! Yikes!
Head back to London on Thursday via the train and do a Men's Retreat for Pastor Doug Williams and on to Lagos, Nigeria on Monday to minister in a prison and outdoor meeting for our own Elder Blessing Adeoye from Stone Creek Church!
I encourage any of my spiritual sons & daughters to go on missions trips whenever you can! It enlarges your world view and helps you be a more tolerant and loving person! The world and certainly the Kingdom is sooooooooooo much bigger than our American culture. We need to be cultural students and one of the ways to understand America better because of the huge immigration going on in our country is to travel. Enough said, enjoy Craig's article!

10 Reasons to Invite People to Follow Christ Every Week At Church
1. Someone may be at church only once.
2. The Holy Spirit may have been working on them for months or years.
3. Even some churched people don’t understand the gospel.
4. Many trust in the church for salvation instead of trusting Christ.
5. Seeing others saved gives believers another reason to worship and motivation to witness.
6. New Christians can “light a church on fire.”
7. Angels in heaven get to party when one person meets Christ.
8. Hell is a real place.
9. You care deeply about people.
10. Families, workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, and generations could be different when one person meets Christ.

That is awesome! I led someone to Christ in Chicago. You said, "You look like you swallowed a light bulb!" :) I need to keep that memory fresh, and look for more opportunities to lead others to Christ. God bless your missions journeys.

Thanks Jennifer!
