The Mission Field Is At Our Doorstep

In case you ever wonder how important it is that Hillcrest Church truly become, "A Local Church With A World Vision," check out the article in the Dallas Morning News entitled, "Buddhist Shrine Brings a Bit of Cambodia to Area."

It tells the story of about the Cambodian Buddhist monk, Socheatrapagna Sisowath, who arrived in Dallas one year ago in order to build a local replica of the shrine at Angkor Wat, the temple/mausoleum near Phnom Penh. I encourage you to take a moment and pray that this gentleman will have a personal encounter with Jesus while he is here in our city.

Life in Deep Ellum

Earlier this evening, I stopped by an open house at a church downtown called Deep Ellum Church. They are dedicating their beautiful new facility tomorrow called Life in Deep Ellum. It is a "...community cultural center built for the artistic, social, economic, and spiritual benefit of Deep Ellum and the residents that live there..." with a lot of neat stuff happening under one roof. Pastor Tony Fundaro and his wife, Hannah greatly impressed me. I want to encourage you to check out their websites and do all you can to help!
