When sharing the Gospel, listen carefully to the person! You are not talking to a robot. Your words are not a prerecorded message. This is an individual with a soul created in God’s image. Show the person dignity. They are not a personal challenge viewed simply as a convert to be won or a prize for our evangelism trophy case. Listen to them and try to genuinely enter their world. Love them! Learn their heart and then speak Christ as the solution. Never alter the core message, but learn to package the Gospel in a customized way for each individual. Probe them. Emphasize with them. Question them to understand them. This is love, investment in a human being however short of long that interaction might be, drawing out their worldview, beliefs, struggles and fears and then presenting Christ as the answer who has overcome sin.

INSTRUCTIONS

BLACK FOREST SAUCE
FRENCH TOAST
Make Black Forest sauce first: in a saucepan, heat cherries & juice.
Stir in sugar & vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix water & cornstarch.
Stir into cherries, simmering until thickened, stirring frequently.
Stir in nutmeg. Keep warm. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until
smooth. Stir in shaved chocolate or miniature chips. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla & optional salt.
Slice French bread into 12 slices, each 1 to 11/2 inches thick. Then
slice a pocket into the middle of each slice. Fill each pocket with
1/2 to 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture. Dip bread slices into egg
batter on both sides. Place on a hot griddle and brown. Turn and
brown the other side (keep slices in a warm oven, if necessary, while
finishing all 12 slices).
To serve, place two slices on each plate and top with about 3/4 cup
warm Black Forest sauce. Enjoy! Makes 6 servings.

A Message from our Provider:

“Rainbows – a gift from God”

It must be seen that…the spirit of love in the minister arises not so much out of natural personality, but is a gift of God. This love, then, will be a reflection of God’s love and will demonstrate itself not only in a man’s sincere love for God and His truth, but also a deep compassion for people accompanied by a loving compulsion to seek after them, aid them, and extend the grace of Christ to them. How insightful is the comment often heard that “one should not take the job of shepherd until he learns to love the smell of sheep.”
