The PEACE plan is working!! It is not just an idea anymore. We are seeing an entire nation being transformed before our eyes. The stories make your heart beat faster. The church leaders from 70 different denominations met together at a an Anglican retreat center for five days, studying the principles of PD Church, PD Life, Preaching, and PEACE. By the end of the week, they were so unified and on fire for God, there was no doubt that God's hand is on Rwanda. At the same time, 200 local church pastors that have been going through a three year training process were meeting for four days at a church in Kigali for a separate training event. The enthusiasm these guys have for the purpose driven strategy is contagious. With little education and no money, they are accomplishing far more than many American churches. On our last night, 700 leaders from business, government, and churches gathered in the ballroom of the Intercontinental Hotel to celebrate the publication of Purpose Driven Life in the Kinyarwanda language. The testimonies about the book's impact were so sincere and moving. Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini referred to the gut-wrenching agony Rwanda experienced when a million people were murdered in the genocide and then concluded "The Purpose Driven Life has been the handkerchief of hope that wiped away the tears in our eyes!" People spontaneously broke out into applause. Thank you dear church, for your love and commitment to helping others around the world. Over and over, people expressed their gratitude for the Saddleback PEACE teams who've already served in Rwanda. An entire nation is grateful for you. YOU are making a huge difference in the world. ABOUT THIS WEEKEND This weekend we start celebrating the thanksgiving season together. Don't miss this encouraging service. We'll also express our thanks to God by giving our FOR THE NEXT GENERATION offerings and commitments. I'm praying for you as you as God stretches your faith and generosity. I love you, and I love being your pastor. Pastor Rick P.S. This past week I've been called every name in the book, for our trip to Syria. Let me thank each of you who have prayed for our team and written such supporting words of encouragement. You have no idea how much your love means to me.
My comments-
Notice this-"The Purpose Driven Life has been the handkerchief of hope that wiped away the tears in our eyes!"
Jesus Christ should be the hope. Saved Christians know that Jesus is our only hope not The Purpose Driven book or program which does not even present the gospel of Jesus Christ in the way scripture presents the real Good News.
No mention of Jesus at all in the email. What a new tragedy for the people of Rwanda.
The Purpose Driven Life is Rick Warren and his followers bible. There Good news.
How sad for Rwanda.
Rick took heat for his trip to Syria because he lied and he met with a terroist nation that hates the Jews as well as America.
Again the focus is all on Ricks programs and Ricks solutions which are not biblically based.
Instead Rick just adds a little Christian flavor when it suits his purposes.
Please pray fro the people in Rwanda and those who have been deceived world wide.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 " For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables."
2Thess 2:10-12 "And with all decivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for that cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
That they might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
