What a remarkable week! Divine encounters, unexpected surprises, anointed speakers, connecting dots, and so much more!

Without doubt, this is the largest project we have ever attempted in almost 25 years of scripture assembly in various languages. Earlier this evening the work in gym was completed.  Just a few minutes before 10:00pm Cheryl and I walked into the binder room as the final F@arsi New Testaments were run. As I type this words the last copies are going through the cutter and being boxed. The mission has been accomplished and 52,000 F@rsi testaments are ready for their destination.

Reflections:

1. The attitudes of everyone have been fantastic. No griping, complaining or whining. Way to go!
2. MVP’s – our Hispanics really stepped up to the plate this year, not only maintaining a constant presence in all phases of the operation but also assuming positions on the leadership team.
3. Our pastors and staff were fully engaged and worked hard. Way to go!
4. I loved how the work in the gym continued through the week providing opportunity for people to experience genuine biblical fellowship that spanned across all types of people and of all ages. I met a gentlemen for the first time who has attended our church since 1994!
5. People who are not members of our church found their way on to the  assembly line and made new friendships.
6. After the experiences of this week many of you are beginning to “get” the idea of giving priority to reaching the least-reached.
7. It was great to hear how some of you discovered F@rsi speaking co-workers, neighbors and friends and were able to get a testament to give to them.
8. I am encouraged how God is teaching us to cultivate a culture of prayer to depend totally on him.

Sunday morning we will celebrate what God has done and pray over these 52,000 testaments before sending them off. Thanks to all of you for all your help and prayers.
