Renewal Is Vital
Paul Cedar, Chairman, Mission America Coalition
Renewal is a vitally important experience in our walk with Jesus Christ. It is true not only for our personal spiritual lives but also for our churches and ministries. As you know, we have been in the process of renewing this Evangelism Connection format to make it more user-friendly and helpful for you.
We are so encouraged by the wonderful responses of affirmation from many of you. Thank you for taking time to respond. If you have not done so, we would appreciate any comments and suggestions you may have. We thank the Lord for you as we seek to serve you and the advancement of the whole gospel to the whole nation -- and beyond.
Prayerfully and gratefully,
