Tonight our global disciple making pastor, Jonathan Bean, taught class. He is supposed to teach the "missions" part of the class and David is teaching the "evangelism" part. Jonathan recently discovered he has a brain tumor and he will be having surgery in the next 4-6 weeks so he is teaching class now and David will pick up later on. Please pray for Jonathan and his family. For more information about his tumor go to www.jonathanb.net.
