From the DoM
Please put this event on your things to do list. Dr. Ravi Zacharias is coming to Clemson
on March 8. This is an opportunity to invite those who are not Christians to ask
questions of a world known expert on Christianity. Microphones will be in the audience
and you will also be able to text your questions. Your church can also be involved in
helping at Littlejohn Coliseum as counselors, in refreshment venues or parking lots.
There is also needs for funds for final publicity, etc. For more information go to
www.coexistclemson.com , email salford@generation-link.org, or call 803-466-4535.
Promotional fliers are available at PTMBA. This is a great opportunity in our backyard.
Thanks for all you do, Ron
www.carpentersforchrist.org is a great place to look for information on missions
opportunities in SC and the world. Mike Ravan at 864 621 0916 can tell you about

construction in Guatemala. Pray for group from PFB as they travel this month to
Guatemala.
Pickens County Rape Crisis has a really good presentation that can be made at your
