Celebration of Lights . . . Modesto

Calling all members of Team Red. We need you to deploy to the Celebration of Lights, December 3, 2005. We are submitting an application to have our vehicles in the parade all decorated in lights. Members can volunteer to walk alongside the vehicles (or drive them) to hand out candy canes , etc. This will be an exciting venue to display our new vehicles to the community. All we need are willing volunteers. There will be no muck involved on this assignment unless it rains. . .

Hilltop Rescue. . .

Hilltop has added a blog feature to their website. I have added a link in the sidebar for anyone to see whats going on in Slidell. It is exciting to see God working mightily in the lives of the people in LA through people from allover the US. I feel very grateful for having been part of such a great work.

National Outreach Convention

Greetings from San Diego . . .

The NOC started tonight with a talk from Rudy Carasco, a hispanic evangelist in Los Angeles. He reingnited some fires within me tonight. He challenged us to stay in our communities and build bridges from the church to the community. Great point! That's what it is all about. On Halloween night, several hundred from the community crossed the bridge onto our church property. Over 50 info packets were given out and 520 meals were served, not to mention a couple hundred pounds of candy handed out.

We live in an exciting time for ministry.

keep building bridges,

Buddy
