Norm’s Notes May 2, 2013

Pastor Norm

Partnership     
I like partnerships. A new partnership we are forming is with missionary Donny Riley and family. Donny was raised up at Fairview, followed the call into ministry and is now leaving for Liberia. His family commissioning service is this Sunday.

One of the special needs for his ministry is to finish the Bible training center building. This is an “only God” story of how the unfinished building was given to the ministry. Donny will share that story this Sunday. The need is $15,000 to finish the building so it can be used as a Bible training center. This week we will help meet that need in our offering.

Bible Byte
“So if anyone is now ridin’ for Christ, he is a brand spankin’ new cowboy. The old fellow has been wadded up and thrown away like an old feed sack. He is like a blind man seein’ his first sunrise.”  2 Corinthians 5:17 (“Simplified Cowboy Version”)
