You recently delivered a message to the congregation about being sent by God to do His work in the world. How does Beautiful Day fit in with that?Well, it's not the only way and doesn't completely fulfill it, but it is one of the primary expressions of this belief that says, "We ought to get out into the city and it ought to matter to people that don't go here know we're here." We hope that at least 1500 people will go out and next weekend and show it.
Services are cancelled, but you'll still be working Beautiful Day weekend. Tell us which project you're involved in.
I'm going to be on the Camp Coyote project with my Boot Camp group of men. There's going to be at least 15 of us serving. I'll probably show up at several more, probably doing the blood drive, too.
Going forward, what you like to see happen in our community as a result of Beautiful Day?
Ultimately what I want to see is people introduced to the hope and love of God through Jesus Christ, but that's not really our part. Our part is to be witnesses of that and allow God to change their hearts. Like I said over the weekend, when we are sent we preach. People will hear, some will believe, be called and be saved.
Steve Clifford is the Lead Pastor at WestGate Church, where he shares his quirks and the saintly patience of his wife, Dana, as he teaches the gospel each week. Despite all outward appearances, he was not born in Texas. (His family moved there when he was three months old.) His favorite movie is The Quiet Man with John Wayne and, though he calls Mexican food his favorite, he admitted he just "wanted to say 'cooked,' because I like it all."
