Yesterday we finished our Missions Conference. The speaker Bill Perrow has an inner city street kid mission for homeless children. They have tons of projects for them and it looks like he's really making a difference. There are more than 30,000 street kids in the capital of Columbia. His pictures touched our hearts last night as we saw some of the children as little as infants sleeping on a piece of cardboard under a car. Our church missions goal for giving is $156,000 and yesterday we received pledges of $112,000 for the first day which I thought was encouraging. We had pastors from Africa, Asia, Jamaica, India and others who were local and national come to our conference. I really felt an anointing of the Holy Spirit at various times during our conference.
