It is amazing to think about what can happen when a spark ignites a combustible material. Just a little spark can start a campfire, bonfire, forest fire, and even a firestorm. The great lamps of those faithful lighthouses, which dot the treacherous shores of our nation, all derive their origin from a single spark. Massive engines, which power our automobiles as we travel up and down the road, are dependent upon a spark to keep running. Oh, how a little spark can make a difference!

I feel like God has ignited a flame in our church family recently. As you know, January 19, 2012 marked our one year anniversary! That’s right! Great Commission Baptist Church of Blair, Nebraska had its first Bible study in the Blair Family YMCA last January 19th! Hallelujah!

In the few days since our 1st Anniversary, God has really shown Himself strong on our behalf. We have had 3 visitors start coming regularly, and last Sunday, we had 3 more first time visitors! Several of our people got a hold of something… or rather, something got a hold of them. They came up to me and said, “Pastor, you need to see so-and-so!” WOW!!!

Now don’t get me wrong. We have been visiting and praying for people all along the way. Sunday however, God showed up and stirred some hearts! Again, it is a amazing what a little spark can do!

Praise the Lord with us as we endeavor to continue to reach our community for Jesus Christ. Please help us pray for more souls to be saved and lives to be changed. Pray that God will use our church family in such a way so as to make the greatest impact for the gospel’s sake!
