THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
by Pastor Bob Rieth
"Urgent"
The recent deaths of members of the media and entertainment industry have saddened me, but they remind me about the importance and urgency of MFI's mission - delivering the message of Jesus Christ to those who may not be reached by the mainstream church. We, as members of the Media, have a special rapport with them as peers. I have been privileged to have prayed with a number of those in the list below. Some may not have had a Christian mentor to reach out to them.
What is our responsibility to those around us? Are others closer to Christ because of our testimony? Is sharing Christ at the top of our "Urgent To Do" list?
What we do is eternally important.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership! Pastor Bob
