Then there were............
As I was doing a little bit of net surfing and looking at blogs the other night I came across this interesting, but accurate little poem. It challenged me I guess because we have just started the Bill Hybels teaching series in the church "Just Walk Across the Room" and are talking all about evangelism and how easy it can be......................
Ten little Salvos, standing in a line, one disliked the officer,
then there were nine.
Nine little Salvos stayed up wery late, one slept in on a Sunday,

(Written by a Captain of the Salvation Army)
Our forefather had a vision to change the world one soul at a time. Although at times it may seem hard to believe- it can still be done today.
Praise God that His grace is the same today as it ever was at any time in history and He can give us all we need for the task, let's get out and do it!
