Calvary Link: If You Only Knew

Lionel-TripI have seen some incredible things in the last 7 days. If you only knew the difference our church is making together in the every day lives of people it would change you forever. You would never again wonder, "Should I be generous with my resources?" You wouldn't be able to help yourself. Trust me.

Our sister church in Nairobi loaned us a hip videographer who travelled with me on this short 7-day whirlwind stint. This Sunday I'm going to tell you about some of the things I have seen. And over the next few weeks you are going to get to travel with me through the lens of a guy named Collins who has a great eye for capturing images.

I can't wait to be with you this Sunday. Hope you will be ready for an exciting (and highly provocative) conclusion to the gospel of Mark. Tomorrow I tape a brief message for national TV in East Africa--then I'm coming home to Valpo to worship with you. Pray for me.

I love you--

Lionel

What's new at Calvary...

Tabletalk
Join Jon Nitta, Pastor of Spiritual Formation, in the gym on Sundays at 9:45a for a time of "Tabletalk"! In the month of February, Tabletalk is focusing on how a person grows as a Christian. We will be considering how inner transformation happens, why we know so much and keep on sinning, and what God is doing when our spiritual life feels dry. This discussion will frame how we approach the disciplines in the Christian life!
