I am only paraphrasing what I can remember, but finding a pastor that has a close relationship with the Lord because of some past mistakes has been a great way for my wife and I to find a church when we have moved to a new city.

Wednesday night was prayer meeting, followed by the midweek service. As a young man I worked in foreign missions. Along life's way I burned out and have not regularly attended church in over 40 years. I have been quite sucessful in life by most standards, but have failed to introduce my family to the Lord. Recently, while channel surfing, I stopped on a Bill Purvis sermon on leadership. I switched it off and then was drawn to turn it back on. The message directly affected me. I realized that although I have accomplished much in life, I was not a spiritual leader to my family . Pastor Bill Purvis is truely blessed by God. I plan to follow his future messages on the internet. Please pray for me and my family.
