The "win" for us ultimately at Vinings Lake is to make "disciple-makers".
Today is a special day to celebrate the reality of this happening. There is a gentleman in our church that was coming with his family for a while to VL and earlier this year, he trusted Jesus Christ to be his personal Savior and was baptized this past Easter. Recently, he has been bringing a co-worker to church with him and being an incredible influence in his life.
Today, that co-worker prayed to recieve the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ for himself!
This is a celebration because of one that has been forgiven, clean, and given a new life in Jesus Christ. It is also a celebration because of the influence that a new believer (and yes, I DID say NEW believer!) has been having on his friend and co-worker - and the result of him just MERGING his life with someone. And it is a celebration because above all, there REALLY is a God in heaven - who will move heaven and earth - and surround you with people that will share with you and show you - the message of life, hope, and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ!
By the way, this is not a new concept - Jesus said long ago to "make disciples" - our mission is simply to follow His mission and lead people to be "disciple-makers"!
