Current Topic: Playing With Fire, by Walt Russell

due Apr 15
  1. Read at least pages 175-192, Heart for God: The Prophets.
  2. How might we implement the principles and skills from this chapter at TNBS and in our own study?

=============================
2007 GLOBAL PROJECT: We're buying a farm for Christmas!



Goal: $2470
So far:

What do you get when you give two pigs, two alpacas, two sheep, two cows, and two goats? The satisfaction of providing new hope and lasting impact for up to 10 families in need around the world! These farm animals will bring smiles to the faces of moms and dads who will be able to feed their children and increase their family incomes, thanks to you. The next best thing to seeing a child milk, shear, or care for one of these animals is to share the joy of this gift with someone close to your heart.

Save your pocket change (even the paper kind!)
and bring it to Collegium or Tuesday Night Bible Study each week.
