I read a summary of a guy who shared a testimony at a conference this week. It was just too good to not pass on. Nothing inspires me more than seeing someone "being Jesus" to others (sometimes in creative ways.)

-Speaker: Chris Conlee, High Point Church, Memphis, TN

-Memphis is still very racially divided.

-Every vision comes from a well-defined problem.

-One man in the church, who grew up without a father, saw a problem. Over half the high school football players played their Friday night games on an empty stomach. The coaches won't let them go home, but also don't have the money to feed them.

-This man made a difference. He began to rally people to invest in the students and prepare meals for them on Friday.

-We had a vision not to just be the great White church coming to help...but to really make a difference over the long-haul.

-It took awhile, but last December, two young African-American men came to know Jesus.

-The young men jumped in, got involved, they helped them get in college, helped them get cars and get involved. They don't teach you that in seminary.

-Ministry is so much more holistic when you get involved in peoples' lives.

-People think there are limitations to the gospel. When you are loving people, there are no limitations to the gospel.
