EXTREME HOME MAKE OVER - NORTHWOOD STYLE!!!!
I couldn’t be more proud to be the senior pastor of NorthWood than I am right now. Thursday night nearly a thousand people gathered to worship, each wearing one of four color T-Shirts, Green, Blue, Red, or Yellow, that signified which house they were working on. We sang with all our hearts, prayed, heard testimonies, and received challenges. I prayed at the very end. I asked the little children who were present to come forward and look out at the auditorium and all the people there, while we prayed. I told them, “This is the church, not Sunday, come a sittin’ and listen, but Thursday, commissioned to go and sweat and work and serve in the name of Jesus”.
The work has begun and we have 24 more hours to have all 4 houses finished.
The kind of “Asian” lookin’ guy - Sherman Chau, head of Glocal Ventures from Hanoi. He’ll be with us a few months and, man, am I glad. He’s a riot. I call him “The Wild Chihuahua” now that he’s in Texas! Rock on NorthWood - you da’ man!

Northwood,
Just wanted to confirm Bob's comment and say a BIG "I LOVE EACH OF YOU". It makes me proud to be apart of a church body that understands what Christ meant about making "disciples". This past weekend (as on many other occassions) I saw Northwood disciples working for the Kingdom!!!! Man, that's powerful stuff!!! As someone said "God was surely looking down on those who participated in the Home Makeovers and, with a Big Ole Texas smile on His face, saying "well done my good and faithful servants". I challenge each of us to continue through the year being the disciples Christ wants us to be....and I can't wait until Home Makeover 2009!!!
