Guest Speaker

This Sunday I'm very excited to host Bill Parks as our teacher for the morning. Bill is the executive director of Teen Challenge Baltimore. He has been ministering out of this area for many years, and grew up in Dundalk.

Thirty years ago God put the dream of a Teen Challenge Center on his heart, and now three decades later he is seeing it become a reality. They have already held a meet & greet event for the community. They are working on renovating their building to be prepared for opening in April. In fact, the HVAC work was done over the last couple weeks. The plumber is starting today, and the electrician is starting next week; from what I hear.

Bill had a limited, but significant voice in my spiritual development. It was through a message I heard him preach that I opened my heart to missions and serving needs around the world. I'm sure that his challenge this week will lead all of us to a greater heart for Baltimore.
