Compassion Christian Church
The ONE Campaign is about reaching one more and one more and one more person for Jesus.
It’s about each one of us responding joyfully to the One who loved us first and calls us to love Him and the people He loves.
It’s about giving up what we love … for the One we love more.
God created and equipped each one of us to make a difference. The mighty power of Jesus - the same power than conquered the grave – is working in and through each of us to change the world, one person at a time.
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” Mark 1:17
In 30 y
ears as your pastor, I have never been more excited about the future of our church than I am right now. I am deeply blessed to serve our mighty God and blessed to serve Him with you as together we lead people to a life-changing connection with Jesus.
Twenty years ago I fasted and prayed for three months. I asked our Father to give us a vision for His church. He did, and His vision and provision have been far greater than we could have imagined.
Today I continue to kneel before Him, still seeking His vision and favor. As we mark our first half century, I know that the One Who Was and Is and Is to Come has even greater things ahead for us.
I pray each of us will look to the One who lifted us from the pit to a life immeasurably more than we could ask and once again experience the depths of love, the heights of joy that come from following hard after Jesus.
I pray that we will seek His direction, claim His power and commit to changing this world. That each one of us will take bold steps, believing in the greatness of a Father who sent His Son to save us. Because found people find people, I pray each one of us will commit to finding “my one.” That relationships will be restored, families healed, addictions broken and hearts mended, all by the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
I pray that spiritual apathy will awaken into bold faith by believers who won’t settle for less than God’s great plan for each one of us and for His kingdom. That each one of us will commit to sacrifice for the One who sacrificed all for us. That the One to Whom Every Knee Will Bow will move through us in a mighty way, changing our neighborhoods, our cities, our nation and our world for generations, for eternity.
Grace and peace,
“For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? … As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news!’” Romans 10:13-15
