WELCOME | NOVEMBER 26, 2017 Today we are privileged to have evangelist Bruce Turner preaching for us. Also, today we will make our pledge to Faith Promise, which will demonstrate our support for the advancement of the Gospel around the world. We just concluded a fantastic Missions Conference which reminded us of the need of those from every nation and our responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission. I hope you have been praying and asking the Lord what investment you should make for the propagation of the Gospel. Our decision has a direct impact on missionaries and their ability to obey the Lord’s call. My prayer is that everyone would participate both by praying and giving financially.
