7 Specific Updates on the National Day of Prayer Ministry
On Monday, I released an important article relating to the National Day of Prayer ministry. As I serve as President of this ministry while serving here as your Senior Pastor, please pray for me. I want you to take the time to read about all that is going on. Again, pray for us and join us in this pivotal ministry in our nation.
Feed the 479 is Our Strategy to Help Feed Our Area
Feed the 479 is a ministry of Compassion Northwest Arkansas, and is a choice food pantry for the food insecure in our area. So many of us give to and volunteer for Blessing Baskets over the holidays, but physical hunger is not limited to holiday seasons. You can help provide food for families year-round by giving directly to Feed the 479 over and above the first tenth of all God has entrusted to you. You can make a one-time donation or give on a recurring basis through Cross Church. Watch this video from last Sunday to learn more about Feed the 479.
See You Sunday,

This Week at Cross Church | 21 Days of Prayer is Making a Difference
21 Days of Prayer is making a difference in the lives of thousands of people. God has taken our Cross Church initiative and blown it up via Facebook. On several days, these gatherings have been seen by over 11,000 people. God is so good, and we pray He is using this to connect people to Himself and His glorious Church. If you haven’t had a chance to engage with us, here are two great examples of what takes place during these prayer experiences. This day with Meredith Floyd and Jackie Harmon as my guests, we talked and prayed about children and families. On this day with Donnie Smith as my guest, we talked and prayed about preparing ourselves to make a difference for God in the workplace. Join us. We still have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
On Bad Weather Sundays, Make Sure You Give
We have had some challenges with weather, and last weekend affected things dramatically. That is why I believe it is really wise for families to practice recurring giving. Regardless if you are here or not, this is a way you insure you have honored God weekly with the first tenth and more of what God has entrusted to you. This is important, so please make up your giving if you missed this past Sunday, or have yet to engage after the beginning of the year.
Engaging Day at the Arkansas State Capitol
This past Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. What a powerful, engaging day it was, as I had the privilege to speak at a statewide Martin Luther King Jr. Day gathering at the Arkansas State Capitol. I shared the stage with Dr. Arthur L. Hunt and our great Governor, Asa Hutchinson. Here is an article from the Arkansas Baptist News magazine that recaptured the day.
A Vision Worth Considering
Yesterday, I released an article entitled, Taking the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 3, into Your Workplace. Consider reading this and acting on it. With the business culture of Northwest Arkansas, hundreds of gatherings could take place on the National Day of Prayer.
