Share Love with Others
Paul Cedar, Chairman, Mission America Coalition
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
LOVE is a many splendored thing! This is that wonderful time of the year when we celebrate Valentine's Day. I confess that I am nostalgic about that. My first gift to my future wife, Jeannie, was a heart-shaped box of candy on Valentine's Day when we were in college. That led to a wonderful life together.
Romantic love can be a great blessing. But there is something even greater. That is the love of God for us through Jesus Christ, our Lord. And, of course, we not only receive that love but we can share it with others.
That is what LOVE2020 is all about. It is the expression of love in action by praying for the lost people in our lives, caring for them, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with them.
We pray that you are joining with us in the LOVE2020 lifestyle. As you reach out in love to others, you will be encouraged and helped by joining us for the National Summit on the Gospel scheduled for April 27-29 in Houston, Texas. Go to www.missionamerica.org for complete information. And please join us!
Prayerfully and expectantly,
Paul and the MAC Team
