A World Heritage Sight

851 properties are included in the World Heritage List. These are cultural and natural sites that are considered "having outstanding universal value." The city of Verona was added to the list in 2000. That's the city as a whole!

A Lot to Look Forward To

I've been reading Randy Alcorn's book, Heaven. What a fantastic place to be! Oh the people we'll meet and the things we'll see! Best of all, we get to hug Jesus!

I was recently reminded of another great aspect of Heaven. One I'm truly looking forward to. Jessica was dusting and perusing my Grandmother's books that were on the shelf. She found this: It is Benjamin Franklin's Epitaph on Himself.

The body of Benjamin Franklin, printer, like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding, lies here, food for worms. But the work shall not be lost; for it will, as he believed, appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author.

What a fantastic thought! It goes for all of us! Isn't the love, grace, and faithfulness of God something else!

Help My Unbelief

In Junior Worship, one of my co-workers told the story of how God provided for the Israelites as the wondered around for half of a lifetime: water, meat, sweet honey bread… even clothes and shoes. She closed by saying, “If God can take care of the Israelites with all these miracles, can He take care of you?” Their feet didn’t even swell or get blisters. Yes, I know He can take care of me… and the long list we think has to be done before this GoVerona mission gets started.

Preparation for Verona

Since arriving back in the states on October 30, 2007 we have been extremely busy. We have done much in the way of preparing for the ministry in Verona. We have been involved in recruiting and promoting the work at the National Missionary Convention and it went really well. Hopefully, soon we can announce some of the news regarding that. Angie and I went to the bi-annual Team Leader summit hosted by Team Expansion where we were trained and encouraged in leading a team. Now we are back in Tulsa and are moving into a new apartment tomorrow morning. In January, we will start giving formal presentations to many churches around the country. If you are interested in having us come and speak just email us and let us know, mcrosser@teamexpansion.org. Thanks for reading!
