Baby Lucy update

Baby Lucy is doing really well. She has a good appetite and needed her diaper changed last night for the first time. She is so cute!

Thanks for your greetings to her and her mom.

Giving Thanks

Today is a national holiday when we are to give thanks to God. I hope you remember to do that today as you celebrate with friends and family.

I trust many of you are having turkey and all the fixin’s! Here are some of my favorite things to have on Thanksgiving:

  • Turkey (I prefer the white meat)
  • Cornbread stuffing
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Green beans
  • Sweet potatoes (especially with melted mini-marshmallows on top, one of Christopher’s favorite things)
  • Rolls and/or fresh biscuits
  • and tons of gravy on everything!

I will be speaking on Skid Row today

I must admit that we already had our Thanksgiving meal this past Tuesday. Brittany went into labor that night, so perhaps there was something to it!

Instead, I am going to go up to the Fred Jordan Mission in L.A. today to preach and to help them with their annual outreach to feed the homeless on L.A.’s skid row.

This mission was originally started by my uncle Fred Jordan. He has been in heaven for quite a few years now, but his dear wife (and my aunt) Willie Jordan has run it very effectively for years now, as she and her family have reached thousands of lives for time and eternity.

Did you pray with Pastor Greg?

To help you get started, we would love to send you a free Bible and other resources to help you grow in your faith.

The Jesus Movement began during a chaotic moment in American history, when thousands of young people searching for truth encountered the life-changing message of the gospel. In Jesus Revolution, Greg Laurie shares the compelling story behind this spiritual awakening—including his own transformation as a teenager coming to faith in Christ.

This book takes readers behind the scenes of a movement that changed lives through the power of God’s Word and the hope of Jesus. It’s a timely reminder that God still works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

When you give to Harvest Ministries this month, we’ll send you Jesus Revolution as our thank-you. And if your gift is $50 or more, we’ll also send you the Jesus Revolution movie on DVD—an inspiring way to enjoy and share this powerful story of revival.
