Global Notes…
Nov 16, 2016 Our India team returns today. This has been one of the more challenging trips this year for a Connection Pointe team because of the demonetization of 85% of India’s cash by its government. Buddy Faulkner texted me from India on Saturday and said, “This will not deter us.” While the team’s ability to travel was affected, the ministry continued. Their last two days were spent serving and encouraging in the slums of Delhi alongside ASSI. Your prayers have been heard and much...
Read MoreThe Call…
– Harvey and Yasmin Cline Does it come in a dream? Does it come in an audible voice? Does it come through a song, a sermon or circumstance?

Read MoreWho has a Bible?
-Teresa Byington My house has a Bible in about every room and I suspect you have at least one Bible also. We are blessed. (If you don’t have a Bible and go to Connection Pointe, please stop by the Information Center in the Lobby—we have one just for you.)

Read MoreStories from India
The Story of “N” -Connie Crum A significant part of our time in Patna was hearing stories from several women church leaders. “N” became a believer and began growing in her faith through a dream she had about her sister-in-law becoming pregnant. Her sister-in-law did give birth after years of not conceiving. “N” is now a key leader including leading worship.
