Thanks Dr. Reccord for a Celebrate Life weekend that made a difference at Calvary Baptist Church! The changes for good that took place in our Church were very obvious:

(1) I saw the attitude of an entire church change as they came to the real conviction that they can and must be the church in this area and in this era in which a correspondent of the New York Times and a Harvard Divinity School graduate has just written a book entitled, “American Fascists: the Christian Right and the War on America”. It is a cynical book that compares Evangelical Christians in America to the old Nazis in Germany. While us older Christians know better the young people do not remember the days of Hitler and the Nazis but we have a new determination to minister in a cynical world.

(2) I saw Church Members wiping tears as you promoted the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions and shared with the people in such a touching way some of the things that were done by the Annie Armstrong Offering.

(3) I saw individuals come to Christ when they realized that the life with Christ is the only life worth living and the only journey worth taking is the one we take with Him.

(4) I saw a new warmth of fellowship within our church and a new caring for those outside our church. Our people developed a new commitment to “go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in”.

I appreciate your spirit. I never heard you utter a word of bitterness but only uplifting words of encouragement and challenge to be all that God would have us to be and all that we can be through Him. You have made a difference in our church that will not soon be lost.
