WELCOME TO MY LATEST

PRAYERLINE......And a special welcome also to all of those who have signed up for my newsletter over the past few months as I have been travelling. It has been so encouraging to see so many people that are enthusiastic about supporting this ministry.Let me start by updating you with some special family news. During March Lynn celebrated her 50th birthday and we were able to arrange a surprise party—it was great! Below is a photo of Lynn taken at her birthday party, it was so

good to all be together as Gregg was home from NYC so all of our three children were at this special party along with many of our family and closest friends. It was also a special birthday for Scott (below) during March as he reached 25!

WELCOME TO MY LATEST

PRAYERLINE......And a special welcome also to all of those who have signed up for my newsletter over the past few months as I have been travelling. It has been so encouraging to see so many people that are enthusiastic about supporting this ministry.

Let me update you on a few things that I have been engaged in over the past few months.A really exciting piece of news is that we have now launched the website for ‘The Rooftop’. Having suffered numerous malware attacks on our websites we have had to reload all of our web sites onto a new server. This has been a frustrating and somewhat costly process but we are through that now and it is great to have the website live! Please go and look at it at www.vizaviz.org/therooftop/us

or, if you are in the UK then visit www.vizaviz.org/therooftop/uk You will see that ‘The Rooftop’ encourages Christians to seek a fresh vision of God’s heart for the lost and then equips them to go beyond the walls of the church to reach those who are lost. The site outlines and provides all the materials needed for a local church to follow through ‘The Rooftop’ three-step evangelism strategy’.

As well as writing and filming for the website I have, as always, been travelling an enormous amount.

Filming the teaching clips for the website

‘The Rooftop’ is being developed across the US and the UK, it will also soon be introduced across Australia and the Hispanic world. My desire is that ‘The Rooftop’ will set in place a movement of churches and Christians across the world. This movement will release Christians into engaging with lost people beyond the walls of the church. I am currently in the process of putting the final touches to the Expand section and have recently finished the filming for the teaching clips and will soon complete the notes for the downloadable materials.

I truly covet your prayers for this movement to begin and accelerate—I am convinced that it is only God that can make this happen—PLEASE PRAY! I also ask that you suggest it to your church. If you visit the website you will see that we have included a promo flier that can be downloaded from the resources section of the website, (there is an example of this at the end of this newsletter). Please feel free to download this and use it to raise awareness and share the vision of ‘The Rooftop’ in your church and with any other contacts you have—THANKS!

As well as writing and filming for the website I have, as always, been travelling an enormous amount.Over the past few months I have been in:» The UK, » Alabama, » Virginia, » Pennsylvania, » Florida, » Maryland, » Oklahoma, » Kentucky, » Ohio, » Arizona, » Oklahoma, » Texas, » Georgia, » Panama, » Chile, » North Carolina, » Illinois » and Florida.

It is both humbling and exciting to see the Lord speaking to so many people and to witness so many really experiencing a fresh vision of His heart for the lost. I have been able to preach at numerous churches and lead sessions with Pastors. I have also begun to work in close partnership with some churches and was recently in Mesa, Arizona with Hi-Way Baptist Church. As well as preaching at the church and leading a training day with other churches in the local Association it was a thrill to spend time with a core evangelism team that has been drawn together to oversee ‘The Rooftop’ strategy at Hi-Way.

Most exciting is that we have appointed a national director to oversee the development of

‘The Rooftop’ in the UK. I will be able to say more in the next prayerline but wanted to share this as soon as possible—it is GREAT NEWS.
