8 inches of snow on ground, most in Wichita since 2014. Almost canceled services due to road conditions. Only a third of our regular church attendance, but a man we've never seen before gave his life to Christ when the invitation was given. That made it worth it all!

Please pray for our Student & LifeGroups Pastor, Ethan Sandusky, his wife @MagSandusky , and their two daughters. Their youngest daughter, Lottie, went to be with Jesus this morning. Our church is grieving with them & for them.

A young man just walked in my office & said he'd never been in a church but someone had given him a Bible & he read the Old Testament and the Gospels & wanted to know what he needed to do next. I'm thankful to say I've got a new brother in Christ!!!!

@DrOakley1689 A few yrs ago I almost worked for Docent. They wanted me to write Study Bible notes w/in specific parameters. Study Bible was to be attributed to a famous pastor but they wouldn't tell me who nor would my name appear as a contributor. I declined the project. This is everywhere.

Evangelism should include 1) Intercession- praying for God to save a lost person; 2) Information- sharing the good news that Jesus died & rose again to forgive & transform them; 3) Invitation- we must invite individuals to believe the good news.
