"Welcome to Ministry"

Today is a day I will never forget... While I was at the church today, I recieved a call from a "concerned friend" of a man who comes to church every once and a while... He called to say that the man had been on a drinking binge and needed help... so I got the address and Dave (the Senior Minister) and I went there to see the man. What was seen and smelled after we arrived will not be described, but we saw a man who was very near death. With my own eyes I have seen the worst that alchohol can bring a man... All I can say is please pray for this man... I will not name names, but God knows... just pray for him... As we were driving back... Dave said to me, "Welcome to the Ministry"... Indeed.... Isaiah
