We Get to Do This

Greetings Friends, I pray you are well.

I had the privilege of attending the Chicon Pregnancy Resource Center annual fundraiser last night. If you don’t know, CPRC is a world-class women’s health and ministry center in the heart of East Austin. The ministry is only three years old and is thriving. ACF is up to our ears in volunteer and financial support for CPRC, and I couldn’t be prouder. It’s time and money well spent.

We get to do this.

The prayer event at Iglesia Familiar Ebenezer last night.

At the same time, while I was at the CPRC event, hundreds of Austin pastors and leaders, most from the Hispanic community, gathered to worship and pray over our city. There is a major movement of prayer in our city, and ACF is right in the middle of it.

We get to do this. 

Two weeks ago I was in Uganda with fifteen other ACF staff and volunteers, ministering to pastors, their wives, and church leaders along with their youth and children. Every time I turned around I saw the fruit of ACF’s 50% giving strategy. It was humbling, inspiring and encouraging.

We get to do this. 

Right now, a dozen ACF women are serving other women in Nicaragua. They traveled at their own expense to care for and love on some amazing Nicaraguan women. It’s humbling to think about.

We get to do this. 

Tonight, I’ll be speaking to over a hundred ACF men at our annual men’s summit. This men’s event has had HUGE impact in men’s lives over the last decade. It has brought many to Christ, brought many more back to Christ, freed others from pornography and other addictions, moved others toward maturity in Christ, pushed others into Christian leadership, and made us all better husbands, sons, fathers, brothers and Christians. Yea God.

We’re housing, feeding, pastoring and educating orphans in a remote part of Uganda.

We get to do this.

And finally, this weekend we will gather with over a thousand men and women to worship and honor our King. We will be talking about God as the perfect dad and encouraging spiritual orphans to come to him and find the rest and security they long for.

We will have copies of A Man Who Told Us the Truth available for purchase at all communities for $10. I’m asking you to buy four copies–one for you and three to give to the three people you’ve been praying for.

It’s going to be a great weekend.

We get to do this.
