Impacting Lives!

Here is a copy of what I just posted on my personal blog. This minisrty is going to be HUGE thanks to God!

This story was relayed to me by a friend who is trying to get back into ministry:

"Today I was at my counselor's office and she suggested that I look into police ministry. She told me that about 80% of all police marriages end in divorce. (That is an accurate percentage.) She told me that she meets with a police officer who told her about this guy in Canton, Ga who has started a police ministry and wants to get in touch with him to learn about starting his own. She told me that she thought the name was Code-4 Ministries or something like that. I told her that I knew the guy who started it and that we talked on a regular basis."

There are a few things that make this story even more powerful:

1. I've never met this counselor!

2. I've never met the officer!

3. The counselor is two counties away!

4. The officer doesn't even police in my county!

5. She got the name right!

6. The officer wants to start his own ministry!

7. This ministry is only 2 months old!

8. All of my marketing is by word of mouth and social media!

9. She knew the damage that police do in a marriage!

10. This isn't happening because of me!

Like I said in #7; this ministry is only 2 months old!!! It already extends beyond county lines and professional lines! But you know what the best thing of all is? I can't take credit for any of it! This is bigger than something natural. It's SUPER-natural! This is all the work of GOD. I could try to spin it to make me look good, but what's the point? Give credit where credit is due! Listen, this is one of those things that you cannot explain! When I sent out almost 200 event invites over Facebook and only get 15 commitments, how do you say that it is my doing?

Even better, this is right on target with the vision for this ministry! Now, let's give credit where credit is due:

God, keep on advancing this ministry until it is too big for anyone to think that the credit belongs to a person!
