LCC REACH

Marriage?

You are asking how marriage fits under the heading of REACH?  Well, I think if you want to change a culture and show people what Jesus really looks like- then you need to have a marriage that makes Jesus look good. 

This is the last weekend to register for our first ever Art of Marriage Conference at both campuses.  The conference is August 26/27 at the Bluffton campus.  It will be amazing! You can register online HERE.  The whole weekend (including great food) will cost you less then half of one session of professional marriage counseling…and it will be a whole lot more fun.  More info HERE 

Here's a great family that you support!  This is JJ and Stephanie Wessman who are our Global Partners in a 'holy' part of the Middle East (we can't link their name and country on the web…)  Patty and I want to invite you to a Dessert Open House at our home this Sunday (the 14th) at which time you can meet the Wessmans and see what they are doing in this amazing land where Jesus lived.  7-9 PM at our house (they will do a media presentation about 7:30).  We live in Eagle's Pointe (87 Muirfield Dr.)  MAP    

  Indian Jones has nothing on the dynamic duo of 'Richie and Char'.  We don't use their real names because they are in a central Asian country that would not be happy to know they are there.  They live an unbelievably adventurous life with exotic experiences as they share Christ in in a very non-Christian environment.  You can always read their letters on the lccreach.com page under "Meet our Global Partners".  CLICK HERE to read their newest letter and get some menu ideas from their part of the world.

Want a book recommendation that will rock your world? 

I just finished "The Hole in our Gospel" by Richard Stearns.  AMAZING!!!  The author tells his humorous and humbling story of how he went from being the highly paid CEO of a huge company- to the president of World Vision.  His narrative and analysis of the Biblical mandate to reach the poor has motivated and inspired me in fresh ways.  As a result of reading this, I have personally taken some steps to try to fill in the 'hole' in my own understanding of 'the Gospel'.  You will not be guilt and shamed, but will have your heart expanded to understand and feel the needs of people around you- here, there, and over-there.  If you are a 'highlighter' when you read, you will probably mark up the entire book.  You can order it all over the web, but HERE is the info at Amazon.com.    Let me know if you read it- and what you thought.

Enjoy this great month... Joe
