God is in relentless pursuit of each of us by the fact that He put on an earth suit in the person of Jesus Christ, died for our sins, forgave us once for all, and rose again to give us new life.Because of Jesus Christ, we intentionally pursue people with love who don\'t know Him, so that they may have eternal life.There is no reason for Christians to be ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for the salvation from the wrath of God that is to come. Rom 1:16; 2 Thess. 1: 5-10Christians don\'t have to \"earn\" the right to share the good news of Jesus Christ, they have \"freely been given\" the right to share the good news by God Himself at the moment they began a relationship with Him! So let\'s share the good news with compassion, confidence and courage. All Christians are ministers with a message! 2 Cor.

ABOUT BILL TERRI HOWARD
When I heard that God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ to pursue a relationship with mankind over years ago, I thought what an amazing possibility? That God walked on the earth in the form of a man and He wants me to know Him personally? So 44 years ago, as a junior in college, I discovered God for myself when I said yes to what He did for me on a cross and at that instant I began a relationship with Him. My life has been invaded by Him ever since. That relationship has so impacted my life and family that I\'ve spent my adult life inviting others to know Jesus Christ too and help those who also know Him to relay the possibility of that amazing relationship to others as well. My wife, Terri and I also enjoy helping couples find purpose and joy in their marriages and family life. We have four amazing sons. In addition, I find great passion in helping men discover where we came from, why we are here, how we can live with significance while here, and where we are going when it\'s all over? I\'m now having the privilege of knowing God more intimately through personal suffering. On the morning of January 28, 2013, I experienced a major intracranial hemorrhagic stroke while driving my car. Consequently, I totaled my car when I collided with another vehicle at an intersection. Thankfully, that passenger had minor injuries. But the crash gave me a temporal lobe fracture of my skull that resulted in further traumatic brain injury! My chance of living was less than 18%. I\'m in my 11th year of rehab therapy, which is helping maintain some movement with my left side deficits. Although many people don\'t understand the impact of a TBI, God has been good, kind, and faithful teaching me to walk with Him thru the valley of the shadow of death. He comforts me! Do you know God? Would you like to? If your interested in knowing Him too, but are not sure how, please contact me?
