Pastors Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald recently visited Haiti to encourage and support the Church there. I would encourage you to watch this and see what is happening there and to encourage people to generously give to support the work of God in Haiti.

[Re]Connected on the Rebelution Conference

As some of you may be aware, and as many of you are not aware, I will be attending the Rebelution’s “Do Hard Things” Conference in Gaithersburg, MD on July 26, 2008. It is my hope to have some video footage with some thoughts, perspectives and maybe some special guests on the conference and how it relates to our discipleship. But this isn’t all on me. There are some things that you can do, as well:

1. Pray for the advance of the Gospel. There will be many teens at the conference, some of whom have never heard the Gospel and some who really don’t let it change how they live. It needs to be our primary concern that the Holy Spirit would work through the Gospel’s centrality and power to transform them.
2. Pray for the continued discipling of parents and youth. Conferences are a lot of fun, but that’s not really the point. It should be our hope that all the fellowship, listening, worshiping, and book-buying that happens will be a launchpad for new avenues and inroads in discipleship for believers as they are challenged by Alex, Brett, and their father, Gregg.
3. Pray for insight that will be an aid to [Re]Connected. I would be remiss if I did not expect this conference to benefit the ministry and expansion of [Re]Connected in its content and development. Matt and I need much wisdom and direction, continually, in order to see this fulfill God’s will and serve the Kingdom, as we hope to do.

Thank you, in advance, for your prayers. God bless!

In the Gospel,

David Ketter
