Hello to all Big James’ers! I’m sorry it’s been so long since the last update. No excuses, but believe me, the project continues and the impact on people's lives is amazing.

I will admit, I did go through a phase where I didn’t really know what direction this project was heading so I slowed down on promotions for awhile. The reason for this is because the stories and feedback I was receiving, although positive and impactful on the individuals, wasn’t always what I had expected. It took me awhile to realize (remember) that God is in control, and if he wants to use this project to touch people to work for Him in ways different from what “I” had imagined, that’s His business. It’s my job to do my job, and it’s your job to do your job.

Out of the blue I received a call from a very dear friend in Ohio the other day; he has been a major advocate for TheBigJamesProject from day one. he told me a story about something that happened to him as he was putting the Big James principals to work in his life. It just blew me away. It blew him away. God is most definitely Good and Alive and Well. It's a very long story, and I sure needed the encouragement. Hopefully we can get him to put it in writing for us.. Brother Steve???

If something touches us, or is laid on our hearts, the Bible teaches us over and over that it is our job to step out in faith and “just do it” even if the results are unseen or not as expected. Do not lose faith my friends, do not stop trying. If it was good and Godly yesterday, it will be forever; this is part of the nature of God (Malachi 3:6).

Ok, now for the updates.

#1. Get ready to clap …. We have had 656 page views as of today !!!

Even though about 100 +/- were from me, that’s still an awesome number considering we have a zero dollar marketing budget and little more than a story to offer. This, to me, is a testament to the power of God’s love in so many people’s hearts. We all have busy lives, and often forget about what really matters, but this tells me that the Holy Spirit is not only alive and well, but working in you and I.

#2. We have a newly designed business card on the way. I’ll post the graphics when I get a post-able proof. The reasons for the new card are first - to have a more professional design (which I know really doesn’t matter but hey, it’s nice). Second – It will allow me to keep a large supply on hand to ship to you immediately as they are designed with room for you to write your own name and phone #. I initially thought “printed” would be nice, but really, isn’t hand written more personal? And third – they will reduce costs due to the volume printing. I hope you like them, but more importantly, please pray that they are effective for Christ.

#3. The Big James Project has been introduced in Germany, Sweden, France, and who knows where else. The feedback has been nothing short of amazing. I wish I could share every story I hear. People are being touched in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Please keep us in your prayers always.

#4. Johnathan is doing well and his puppy is always happy to see me. I haven’t been able to get him to come to church with me yet, so I’ve done some on the spot ministering. Mostly I just hang out with them, It’s always a good visit.
