Hey, Greg.
Thanks for the evening last night at REI (if I had known that they didn’t carry fishing tackle any more I probably would have been a no-show). I have to admit I was (am) intimidated by the MAP. And as I pray about the Mobilization Action Plan I recall the intimidation I felt when I shared His Gospel the first time. That moment was terrifying and exciting and filled with more suspense and joy than any other in my life. It was the day 5 years ago in October I asked my dad (Pa) if he knew he was going to heaven. And now I know I’ll see him again and meet your mom, buddy. And the uneasiness I felt as I shared His Gospel today with a guy in Sam’s parking lot. I guess what I am trying to say is that any time Jesus Christ Calls me to do something I am not comfortable with He Is Stretching me, Watering that tiny Seed of Faith within me. You and your ministry have had a profound impact on the Growth of the Kingdom of God within this soul, buddy (I think that means you make me uncomfortable). I pray our Father is Heaven Always Uses D2S to Grow His Kingdom. Thanks for reminding me that while some people define Spiritual Growth as invisible, “…it’s what I DO, that defines me.” And it’s what we do that defines our God. MAP, here I come….

Hi Greg!

It’s Esther again. I just posted a comment on your blog. I love the MAP concept, so I will e-mail Stacey soon. What a good way to form a specific action plan and be accountable! I appreciate your approachability and humbleness (as well as energy and devotion to Christ). It was a joy to talk with you today.

November Map Update:
Last week I met Mikalea for dinner (#4 on my map) and it went very well. She is 16-going-on-30 and it is very alarming. However, God really worked in our conversation. She agreed to go to Dare 2 Share this weekend and we are going to start reading a book together. My goal is to meet with her for dinner every other week to talk about the book (It is probably going to be the Bible). She told me she wants to start going to church and would like to read the Bible. I am going to hold it to her.

This weekend I also had the opportunity to hang out with 40 students at a Young Life camp. The two girls I have been praying for really opened up this weekend. I had time to talk to them about God and specifically the Fahter Heart of God. It went really well and they had a lot of questions. Pray for me to fearlessly share with these girls as I should! “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him (Proverbs 30:5).”
