I think the video is very good, but so far as I can discover, the quote 'Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.' is from D. T. Niles in his book That They May Have Life. As one of my correspondents on Facebook told me, 'Niles was a Sri Lankan evangelist and ecumenical leader who deserves to be much more widely known than he is.'

I will be interested when the Dio of TX welcomes all. Otherwise this is just a facade.

Well done, Texas! May God bless your conference with much eternal fruit.
