Greetings!

Praise the Lord for amazing time of sowing and watering in Houston for the Final Four. Below is the team of ten. Two of the ten are new to SFOI, Jerardo in the black Jeremiah Cry t-shirt has only been to one Super Bowl; Brady has one been to one other SFOI event the Final Four in San Antonio several years ago. New people joining us while being able to work with seasoned evangelists is part of our mission.
Final Four Team:

Front: Bill, Jerardo Ibarra, Brady Brewer, John Shelton, Darlene Marquardt
Back: Pat Rauh, Tom Sadowski, Joe Hinson, Shylo Galvan, Warren Marquardt.

The team was divided into three teams located around Discovery Green Park where the Final Four hosted concerts called the March Madness Music Festival Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Directly across the street from Discovery Green was the George R. Brown Convention Center where the fan fest was held daily. This map shows the Park and where the teams were located. Discovery Green.

The teams were located: on the top of the map look for the number 1. Jerardo's team was across the street. On the bottom of the map Joe's team stood across the street from where you see number 21. And my team was across the street from number 27.

You have probably heard of the book "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. It appeared to be very popular probably 15+ years ago.

Meredith brought it home the other day so I scanned it looking for the main point. The books uses a phrases 'hedgehog' to describe the mindset of a great company. Hedgehog is defined by three qualities the company answers about itself:

What you can be best at in the world?
What are you deeply passionate about?
What drives your economic engine?

Collins gives multiple examples of companies that do this well and those that don't and their eventual outcome. Although I love this kind of stuff, it's what made MBA school interesting, I nevertheless sought to apply it to SFOI.

I believe what we can be best at in the world is preaching Christ in more places more often.

The reason this is important is because it frames everything SFOI does. All training, plans, organization is governed by the big idea of preaching the Gospel in more places more often.
Hallelujah Greetings!! This year continues to be the most fruitful year yet for evangelists to work with SFOI. There is No Other Name under heaven by which men can be saved! Let's preach His name with great zeal calling sinners to repentance so the angels in heaven can rejoice!

Grace, mercy & peace,
