Bob Reccord to Speak at New Life

Bob Reccord

Bob Reccord will be with us on Saturday and Sunday, April 26-27. On Saturday, Bob will speak at 7;00 p.m. to the pastors and board (and spouses) on spiritual leadership. Then on Sunday morning he will speak to the entire congregation in both the 8:00 and 10:30 services. We had Bob scheduled to speak here in February, however that was the day that we canceled services due to ice.

Bob Reccord is a nationally-known speaker, author, and ministry consultant. He is also the international ambassador of Convoy of Hope. He know of Convoy due to there help here with our two “Day of Compassion” events. Bob spent 9 years as President of one of the nation’s largest mission’s agencies. Then he has also served as a pastor in 3 states as well as spent time in the corporate world. Bob serves as Founder/Chairman of Total Life Impact, Inc., a ministry providing coaching, communication and team development, consulting services, and vision-casting messages challenging people to Live a Life that Matters.

For four years Bob hosted a national radio show, Strength for Living. He has authored eight books including Beneath the Surface with over 200,000 in distribution, Forged by Fire, and Made to Count. Along with Randy Singer, Bob has put together a 50 day personal/group/church-wide study entitled Made To Count Journey. Recently the study was featured in an article in OUTREACH magazine. The piece then got picked up by CHRISTIANITY TODAY.

I have here a few endorsements of Bob’s ministry:

Dr. Reccord is one of the greatest pulpit communicators in our nation today,” said FamilyNet President David W. Clark.

Bob Reccord is a Super Bowl-quality speaker and delivers his hard-hitting message with energy, integrity and authenticity. As one who is constantly faced with the challenge of leading an organization in which every day is “game day” I strongly urge you to make use of Bob’s gift of motivational communication and his uncanny ability to engage and equip you people to become transformational leaders.

The other evening as I listened to Bob Reccord speak, I was thrilled to see and hear the blend of craft, passion, clear compunction and the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit used this servant to call many men to the altar. Powerful truth, powerful personality, powerful illustrations and a powerful Spiritual reliance on the Lord. The man, Bob Reccord, the Mission-Evangelism.

Whether as a pastor, businessman, husband or father, Bob has dedicated his life to helping people discover their calling in life and to effectively develop and exercise their passion for God and His mission. Bob puts it this way, “My passion is to help others make a maximum impact with their life at home, at school, at work and in the world.”

For my devotional thought this month, I want to share a devotional written by Bob Reccord. The piece was carried on his website. It is entitled, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH?

When we hear that question our thoughts usually go to the subject of money. And we figure someone is about to lecture us on “having too much,” “spending too much,” or “wanting too much.” But let’s don’t go there this time. Let’s look at this question from an unexpected slant.

A friend, John Grant, recently sent me his insightful news letter, in which a section stopped me on this issue. Let me share it with you….

ENOUGH
A father and son had their last moments together at the airport. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the father said, “I love you and I wish you enough”. The son replied, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your support and love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.”
They hugged and kissed and the son left for his flight. The Dad walked over to the window near where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am old and he lives so far away. I have health problems and the reality is – his next trip back will likely be for my funeral,” he said.
“When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?” He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” He paused a moment and looked up trying to remember it in detail and then he smiled even more. “When we said, ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.” Then he recited the following:
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright
v no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate
v the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive
v and everlasting.
I wish you enough spirit to know that you are connected to
v things beyond your control.
I wish you enough pain so that even the
v smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to
v satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you
v possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final
v good-bye.
( Written by Jack Levine )

So how about it, do you have enough? And, what did this story mean to you? Thanks John, for challenging me!
