HDBC officially launched The One More Project yesterday. In spite of some technical problems which were the result of a lightning strike that apparently hit our facilities on Friday night, we had a great day. Though we had to operate without some of the technical tools that we normally use, we had a fantastic time as we joined voices and hearts in worship, Bible study, fellowship, ministry, connection and spiritual growth. All three worship celebrations were a blessing. We rejoice in the three new members during the 9:00 a.m. service. We praise the Lord for 270 people in small groups. Now that we have more room and more classes we can continue to reach one more, then one more, then one more . . . until the Lord returns. And as we have said so many times, we do all this for the sake of the Gospel.
It is such a joy to be a part of this wonderful body of believers. There is nothing in the world quite like a local church that seeks to love God, connect to others and serve the world. I will be the first to admit that HDBC is not perfect. We have our share of flaws. However, it is thrilling to see so many who are taking seriously the call to discipleship. May God be glorified through this small band of believers. May He call us to do great and awesome things in this world for His kingdom and His glory. May he stretch us, use us, send us, call us, equip us, and mold us into His image.
The local church is the hope of the world. Thank you Jesus, for this local church.
