Second Billion Souls



Letter from Ruben Sanchez:


Pastor Steve,

I just got back from Atlanta with Dr. J. Doug Stringer and Pastor Paul Louise Cole along with several hundred delegates from around the globe meeting for the Synergize conference where they are discussing reaching the second billion souls. Pastor Paul spoke yesterday and hit a home run in making the case for reaching the men to truly change the culture. Dr. Stringer is ministering today and I'll have to wait for your report to get the scoop!
Pastor Steve I do believe that we are going to see this men's movement multiply in this city because we are intentional about the discipleship of men and challenging them to stand "shoulder to shoulder" as Pastor Paul Cole said, to battle together to slay the giants in the land. One of my greatest mentors Dr. J. Doug Stringer in his book Somebody Cares wrote about the net that works and how that together we could catch a greater harvest than alone. Gentlemen, we must stand together like the great Red Wood Tree. I was reading a book on discipleship and in it was a story about the red wood tree. It said that the redwood tree is a top heavy tree who's roots are not so deep as some of the other large trees, But the secret to it's strength to weather the storms is that they grow close together and their roots intertwine with each other and together they stand against the raging storms. Men Let us stand together with the roots of Christian character binding us together in Christ Jesus. Marriages, fathers, sons, and daughters will be restored. To God be the glory!

God blessings on you!
Ruben P. Sanchez
