"You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in allJudea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts1:8, NIV).

A Word From Billy Graham
"One of the greatest needs in the Church today is for every Christian to become enthusiastic about his or her faith in Jesus Christ. This is the essence of vital spiritual experience.

The apostles had been with Christ, and they could not help but testify to that which they had seen and heard. Every Christian should become an ambassador of Christ. Every Christian should be so intoxicated with Christ and so filled with holy fervor that nothing could ever quench his or her ardor.

The Gospel that Paul preached seemed madness to the world of his day. Let us have this madness! Let us capture some of the magnificent obsession that these early Christians had! Let us go forth as men and women filled with the Spirit of God!"
