Thanks so much for rushing the Disciples Today DVDs to the Springfield Church (Illinois). I am using them as a part of a three week sermon series "Prepare for the Promise" based on John 15 -- the promise that if we remain in him we will bear much fruit.

The DVDs just help us think and believe beyond Springfield. Below are thoughts of disciples here about the impact of DToday videos on them.

"The videos help me feel connected to people in other congregations. I can becom e very isolated and narrow in focus. These help me remember to pray for my brothers and sisters worldwide." Beth Staff

". . . how God works in the lives of others in the world -- their faith, their struggles. Nothing is impossible with God. People are hungry for the Word of God." Josephine Mancini

"They help me see the tangible evidence of God's miracles everywhere, his victories against all odds. And they help gorow my faith here where I live. Tom Andryk

"Perspective beyond myself is always humbling and faith building. Thanks for all your work." Michelle Price

"I have been encouraged through the years watching Christians and people becoming Christians in third world countries. They don't have much in material blessings but they have pure love for God and others." Michele Andryk

"It gives me the opportunity to see how the rest of our churches are doing and showing that we can all share the joyes and the miseries that come to all of us." Sherrie Gary

"We tend to remember things we see more than what we hear. We appreciate the struggles of others around the world and it softens our hearts to freely give, while giving hope to those who are struggling by seeing what can happen when they believe. It's a good thing." Ruth Okafor

"When you see someone else's vision, you see your own. And it allows the joy of the Lord to give the strength and the courage to see the victory in your own vision come to life." Cory Davis

"I like being informed on what is going on with our brothers and sisters around the world." Anthony Williams

"It's so easy to get wrapped up in our own little world. There's so much more! Different languages -- one God! Different challenges -- one goal!" Kathy Dodd

"The videos really remind me that I am not alone and connect me to places I would never hear of or see. The stories encourage me greatly." Tammy Dettan

"Viewing KNN always left me with a tremendous amount of hope and joy. When evangelizing it's discouraging to see people reject Christ. To witness the videos, the zeal of the disciples and the excitement fo new creations in Christ, I get hope that there is truly a harvest if we do not give up." Laura Ryan
