I am learning a lot in Manila through American eyes, and hope to apply these truths in Ukraine or where-ever. <BR/><BR/>Motivating people towards outreach is really the big question. I am trying to camp around Matt 4:19 these days. I know of no other answer than to make disciples: followers of Jesus & fishers of men. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729848294451164706.post-55409953677032268912007-03-11T21:26:00.000-05:002007-03-11T21:26:00.000-05:00Heya Mike, I read your post over at the EN Plog an...Heya Mike, I read your post over at the <A HREF="http://everynation.wordpress.com/2007/03/05/do-you-smell-like-a-fish/" REL="nofollow">EN Plog</A> and quickly subscribed to your RSS in my Google reader for more good stuff. This is the first article I've read and I was definitely not disappointed. I love your simple truths.<BR/><BR/>It's unfortunate that we need something like The Passion of the Christ or a big conference or a retreat to get back to the basics of what Jesus did for us because of His love.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483822088793905847noreply@blogger.com
