Yesterday was a great day in Boone, NC with Allan and Pam Blume at Mount Vernon Church.

Allan has a great passion for missions.

This is a church that is engage in Acts 1:8 missions at a great level. I was closing out their missions month that started with Church Planting Movement guru David Garrison. See their site for how they planned the whole month.

The highlight of the morning was when Allan showed a slide with all the vocational missionaries from their church-- and then told about their local and regional involvement as well. I doubt many churches their size could duplicate their commitment to God's global mission.

I also preached to this guy, who I am told is famous for quite a game and I would know that if I actually watched college football.

Of course, I did not know him so I was not nervous... but if another regular attendee had shown up, my anxiety might have gone up a bit... but he was in Korea.

Whew.

Off to Ridgecrest to talk about Calvinism...
