Wednesday, April 7, 2004 Exeter Times–Advocate 40 Days of Purpose campaign EXETER — When Exeter Pentecostal Tabernacle (EPT) launch- es its 40 Days of Purpose campaign April 24, it will join a worldwide network of 2,900 churches with involvement from more than one million people. Inspired by remarkable stories of spiritual renew- al and growth, an estimat- ed 10,000 churches from 60 denominations have experienced the purpose - driven phenomena inspired by a California pastor's best-selling book. It seems there are many people who see their lives as an endless cycle of get- ting up in the morning, going to work, coming home and then starting again the next day. Our church family at EPT is excited about join- ing hundreds of others in and around Exeter in ask- ing some of those hard questions, such as: "Why am I here?" and "Is there a plan or some rhyme or reason for my existence?" We are looking forward to journeying together to discover the answers to those questions. At the centre of the cam- paign is the fastest selling hard cover nonfiction book in history. 'The Purpose Driven Life' has sold more than 14 million copies since the book's release in 2002. The book's author, Rick Warren, is senior pastor of one of America's largest churches, Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. Following its 40 Days of Purpose campaign two years ago, Saddleback Church baptized 671 new believers, added almost 1,200 new members and increased average atten- dance by 2,000. Two years ago the first 1,500 churches that held a 40 Days of Purpose campaign reported their attendance increased an average of 22 per cent.

EXETER COURT 75% Gaiser n Broker Keale EXETER --1235-2420 GRAND BEND - 238-8484 CLINTON - 482-3401 During the 40 Days of Purpose campaign at EPT, the truths about God's five purposes for people wor- ship, fellowship, disciple- ship, ministry and evange- lism will be communicat- ed repeatedly in five ways: • A "take off" free pizza and purpose evening with a video presentation April 24, 6-9 p.m. • A weekly message by the pastor. • A personal or family daily devotional reading. • A weekly Scripture memory verse. • A weekly small group or Sunday school lesson. "People will hear about how God answers those questions of purpose for their lives in many differ- ent formats," Pastor Vernon Dean said. "This will allow for the truths to sink deeper into hearts, which is essential for any permanent life change." It seems most people want to believe there is a higher purpose and plan for their lives than just existing. We want everyone to discover that plan and live life to the fullest in God's way.

Organic The perfect fertilizer doesn't need processing. Or sterilizing. Or packaging. And it doesn't come from a factory. In fact, it comes from the same place it always has, right from our farms. Farmers value hog manure as a fertilizer because it feeds the soil and actually restores its health, and because any other choice would have higher cost and less benefit. Today's hog farm is a smart combination of science, practical experience and common sense, where we recognize the real value of the pure organic fertilizer we produce. The truth is clear – and anything less than that stinks. FARM TO FORK ONTARIO PORK uality People Quality Pork Visit www.farmtofork.ca to find out more.
