We invited Wes to come speak at our church. The text for Wes’s talk, Counting the Cost, came from 2 Corinthians 11:1-29. In this text, Paul the Apostle lists for his readers the cost of obeying Christ. The jist of the message was twofold: following Christ is not comfortable and cowardice does not please the Lord.
Our church began to partner with Wes over the next several years. I began to travel to South Sudan with men from our church and we began to work with the chaplains training program. Those projects were followed by an eight month period involving my church sending my family to work in Sudan and at FRM’s California office. What I observed was that Wes’s life and faith matched his message.
Wes has asked God for big things: a Continent for Christ. Wes continues his work and many people in the world of Christian ministry are jumping on board.
The main thing I’ve learned through ministering with Wes Bentley is this: if you ask for big things from God, you receive big things from God.
