It's allowing other pursuits to fall away in order to focus on the priority that is nearest to the heart of God: people. When you choose to pursue the Grander Vision, you will be partnering with God in the most magnificent mission imaginable: finding what's lost, restoring what's broken, and reclaiming what's His.</p> <p><em>Scripture: Mark 2:13-17, Colossians 4:5-6</em></p> April 27, 2008<br/>'The Power of Story' - Pastor Verlan Van Ee http://www.myotherdrive.com/file/512.143303.22052008.45458.0008fi/lhc_2008-04-27.mp3 <p>Regardless if they are formally &quot;gifted&quot; in evangelism or not, all Christ-followers can be prepared to engage people in spiritual conversations and do what they can to point people toward faith in God.
