Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

Today we're going to look at a portrait of two different churches that were willing to color outside the lines.

And yet it was because of their creativity that the gospel expanded as quickly as it did.

In fact, in a very real sense, you and I are Christians today because of the creativity of these two churches.

If you have your Bibles, turn to Acts chapter 11.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Whether you're an artist or an accountant, creativity is essential for success in every area of life.

And that includes ministry.

Now today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress talks about two first century churches who experienced God's blessing because they were willing to get creative with sharing the gospel.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress.

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

It's often my pleasure to meet people at the airport or in my community who recognize my voice because of Pathway to Victory.

They often express their thanks for this daily program and their positive feedback truly encourages me.

Right now, the question people are asking me is this.

Pastor, how are we doing meeting the $500,000 matching challenge? Are we going to make the goal?

Well, if we had a tally of our progress so far, I would surely give it to you right now, but it's too early to give a detailed report.

However, I am grateful to say that the phones at Pathway to Victory are ringing.

We're hearing from our friends who give generous gifts online at ptv.org as well.

And the postman has hand-carried letters to Pathway to Victory.

The initial signs are very encouraging, but it's now your time to respond.

No gift is too small to make a difference. Every gift counts toward this goal.
