Word Is Out

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. Augustine
Grace To all,

turn light on...

Michal are you aware that your church is going to partner with Lamplighter for the month of September for our Turn the Light On, TV Off campaign?

Hope all is well,

No, I didn't know! Are you talking about Colonial or Summit? (We have been going to Summit Baptist, a local church in Durham). My parents still go to Colonial and I still do graphic work for Stephen Davey, their pastor.

What is the campaign? Is it something new this year?
I hope all is well!!

Michal:

Colonial Church in NC…

This is how is started..

Nancy Leigh Demoss from Revive Our Hearts and Dennis Rainey from Family Today, both interviewed me on their radio broadcasts promoting Lamplighter books and our mission…Nancy’s two day radio broadcast was on last Thursday and Friday; Family Life Today’s broadcast is on today and tomorrow…this launched a national campaign of getting churches to covenant for 30 days to turn off all forms of entertainment media…Family Life is doing it for August, we are doing it for September, when Hollywood launches their new season’s programming.  We have chosen 5 Lamplighter books that have an inspiring message for family reading…But the best part is that after families read these books, they will be praying about who they are going to give them away to…neighbors, friends, family, co-workers!!!  We have already heard about how God is using these books in the lives of the unchurched…a great way for evangelism and discipleship…all in one…let your church know…you can go to www.turnthelighton.org

If this is as successful as I believe it is going to be, there is just no telling how far reaching and life changing it may be.

Blessings to you and your family…please say hello to Chris,

Mark
