Party On!

I never get tired of hearing faith stories and baptising people. When my wife and I started SunWest we asked God if we could be part of church which pursued and experienced life transformation. Each baptism story bears witness to God's uniquely personal transforming power. Each story shows how much God cares and the extreme lengths He goes to to reach out to us. Amazing!

When we come face to face with Jesus and declare our submission to him everything falls away. Our titles, our wealth, our education...whatever those things are that we hang on to are all meaningless because it's just me and Jesus. What a great place to be--scary but great. I never want to lose focus on the bottom line reason that I got into vocational ministry to begin with--to see Jesus transform people through new life in him; to see "his kingdom come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Thank you Jesus for letting me be a part of this!
