Thanks!!!

HPC,

Once again you proved what an incredible fellowship of believers you are as you gathered together to find needs and meet them at the Adair Co. Fairgrounds on Saturday!

From performing as clowns to changing oil you were amazing in your teamwork. Some of you cut hair, others gave medical screenings, still others served plate lunches or cooked food, while several parked cars and the truly brave helped keep order in the Kid's Zone. The list seems to go on and on from distributing free clothes to praying with people to washing and parking cars!
Simply put, Captivate '09 was an unforgettable day that I believe reminded all of us how important it is to be generous. Jesus was right when he said it is more blessed to give than to receive!

Thanks for all you do to shine the light of Jesus in the Lake Cumberland and Green River regions.

Making Genorosity Contagious,

Eric

RK Vision

Its often been said that many churches suffer from "The Revolving Back-Door Syndrome". The problem being that many people come, but few are retained. You could potentially grow to 1,000 people in attendance and yet 3 years later still have 1,000 and the majority of attendees have different faces.

Its staggering to think that statistics have proven that most churches have an almost complete turn-over every seven years!

With this in mind I feel as though I have heard God speak something to me, "Reach them and KEEP them..."

Its easy to focus on reaching people, however it requires a different strategy to keep people plugged-in and connected. As a result, we are launching RK Vison: Reach Them & Keep Them. The focus of this new approach will be to not just make converts, but to follow the command of Christ and make disciples.

You'll be hearing much more about this in the coming days...

I covet your continued prayers as we make the vision a reality!
