A MAN AND HIS GOD – is the theme of the 2017 Annual Business Men in Christ Men’s Retreat at the Lakeview Lodge, Lake Springfield Christian Assembly Camp, 1674 Lick Creek Lane in Chatham.  A hot dinner starts runs from 6 pm to 6:50 pm and the proceedings start at 7 pm until roughly 9:45 – 10 pm.  The Retreat continues the next morning, this Saturday January 28, with a hot breakfast at 8 am, with the sessions starting promptly at 9 am.

JESUSFEST 2013 (ROCK & ROLL HARDEE’S SPRINGFIELD, IL

One of the major goals I have in bringing these free outdoor Christian concerts to various parts of the city and the county in coming months and years is to bring the joyful news of the Kingdom to areas given up by the church, to worldly systems.  The first one, though too long by a few hours, happened in Auburn, Illinois in October 2011. JesusFest 2 was at the brand new SouthWinds Park (just on the outskirts of town) in October 2012 and the recently concluded JesusFest 3 brought the powerful message of Jesus to the South East Laketown area of Springfield.

Future spots being explored are Petersburg, Rochester, Chatham and other parts of this big city of Springfield. The rubber meets the road…on the road. We can expound and pontificate from a pulpit on Sunday morning, feel good about ourselves and there is nothing wrong with any of this. However the Great Commission from the Great Christ was to “GO AND MAKE”, not sit and take. Evangelism and outreach are not just two words which begin with vowels, but the burden of every soul (or should be) who has been called out of the pit by the Great Rescuer – Jesus, when He saved us. This event went so well, that even the regional management of Hardee’s was impressed by the size and tone of this outreach, under the most perfect sky of the month!

So many hearts were touched, we were invited to do an event there monthly. If I had the resources and could, I would do that, just to reach that part of the city which has the biggest strip-club between Chicago and St. Louis – Deja Vu! God alone knows how many people’s lives – from marriages to the young women who peddle their flesh there – have been completely destroyed by this so-called “gentleman’s club”. No real gentleman will be caught dead in a place like that – EVER!
