Written in Heaven

What a great day yesterday! Here are some thoughts on another winner at BridgeWay:

• It was a real privilege to speak today as we continued our series Modern Family. We talked about shaping the future of our children and families.
• Dale was in Fishers, IN today working with Landon and the team at a NewStart Church that has their Grand Opening next week. Be praying for these folks as they get ready to impact that city for Jesus.
• We also had another ministry team out in Champaign today helping a church with an outdoor service. It's great to see God using BridgeWay in so many ways on one day!
• We talked about step one in shaping the future of your family was to have a vision for where you wanted your family to end up.
• I talked about the vision God gave Dale for BridgeWay - "that people who are disconnected from the church would be encouraged and equipped to follow God's purposes for their lives." I asked for a show of hands of people who would consider themselves disconnected from the church prior to coming to BridgeWay. In both services, at least 75% of the people there had their hands raised!!!! God is doing some awesome stuff!
• We also talked about how it's tough to lead your family on the mission God has for you if you don't know what God's mission for your life is. This past Friday I was talking to a mentor of mine who shared with me a tool that he uses with people in his church to find their mission in life. It's pretty awesome. If you're interested in working through that tool with me, let me know (mattrobinson6504@gmail.com).
• Also, wanted to give a big shout out to the set up team for setting up in a torrential down pour. Always fun! These guys are troopers and never complain and are happy to serve.
• Reminder, we are moving to Tremont High School starting October 3! This should be a pretty great move for our church. We have an informational meeting this Sunday, September 26 at 5:00 pm at the BridgeWay Ministry Center. Come join us!
• We were also challenged by Dale to be praying and fasting this week for this move to Tremont, as well as for the families in our church as we are in the midst of this Modern Family series.
• Want to give a shout out to my lady, as she celebrated her 29th birthday yesterday! I'm blessed to have an awesome wife who loves Jesus and is a great mother to our son. Happy Birthday Brooke!
• The Colts brought it last night and got a phatty win against the Giants - a great way to end an awesome day!

Keep praying BridgeWay - the best is yet to come!
