A GREAT MAN IN THE MAKING
August 26, 2009 – 10:45 amSome would call him a “diamond in the rough.” Others would call him young and inexperienced. I choose to call him a man who is on the “Potter’s wheel” being shaped to be mightily used of God.
Who is this person? He is a young pastor deep in the bootheel of Missouri. He is a sponge seeking everything he can learn, and more importantly, hungry to do his part in building the Kingdom of God.
Recently, I was at First Assembly in Steele, MO. Saturday evening was spent training Pastor Harris, his wife Shontae and their missions team how to conduct a Missions Convention in their church. On Sunday morning we received faith promises for the next six months. The pastor announced to the church “our faith commitments this morning equals the entire missions giving for our church during the previous three years combined.” I think you would agree that is rather impressive.
That evening on his Facebook page Pastor Harris stated, “What a day! Today Steele First committed to change the world, and God changed our world!! We are set for a launch into the land of no more limitations.”
Oh, I did get another wonderful perk out of my visit in Steele…met Jentezen and Morgan.
Pastor Harris and First Assembly have made the decision to join the vigilant search for the lost!

Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement! I can’t wait to see what God is going to do, through our church now!

Great blog, Benny! It’s exciting to hear stories like that in our district. We appreciate all you do in keeping our churches on the cutting edge with missions.
