We just opened Prestonwood’s brand new PowerPoint studio with our first programs in full HD. High Definition television is spectacular – it looks almost three dimensional. I am very grateful for the opportunity to broadcast our services in this 21st century format. PowerPoint is seen and heard around the world and the response is growing daily. The PowerPoint production team is second to none in Christian broadcasting. Look for our new HD programs to begin appearing soon and please pray for this ministry.
From the PowerPoint studio I went to downtown urban, inner city Dallas to visit with our H.I.S. BridgeBuilders teams working to change lives every day. This ministry is led by Mike Fechner, and an incredible team of staff and volunteers is providing hope in Christ to thousands of hurting people in the inner city. We are engaging a broken world with the Gospel. BridgeBuilders supports a professional eye clinic, a dental clinic and also a computer training center. Many Prestonwood members are serving and sharing Christ up close and personal. In the streets of neighborhoods the world gave up on years ago, lives are changed daily. I walked away thinking – this is High Definition Christianity at its finest.
From a high tech studio of PowerPoint, to the high touch ministry of BridgeBuilders, I came away with tears in my eyes thanking God for the opportunity He is giving us to proclaim Christ and extend hope to countless souls locally and globally. Are you a High Definition Christian?

Pastor Graham,
I'm just now catching up on your blog for this week... lots of good stuff. Happy birthday and thanks for the glimpse into your past and present personal life, both on your blog and in Sunday's sermon. It was a great reminder of the spiritual holiness in which we should walk when called to ministry (Eph 4:1), and we all have a ministry of some sort. I believe that all service, whether parking cars, greeting, stocking pews, preaching or teaching, while not equal in effect, are equally pleasing to God. Your July 4 posting provided many great ways of serving. The Bridgebuilders ministry is also a great example of reaching out and serving the community.
I'm grateful that you made the move at KCBI. My half hour morning drive from Plano varies from 8am to 10am, so I sometimes even listen at 9:30am on KVTT if I'm running late. Between your 3 broadcasts in the morning, I can almost always catch your program. Incidentally, if I'm driving at 9am, the late great Adrian Rogers has it covered. Regarding your broadcast this morning on holiness, Dr Rogers once said that God's primary purpose in saving us was to make us holy, with eternal life being a fringe benefit (and not a shabby benefit, I might add). I apologize for being long-winded today. We continue to pray for all aspects of your ministry.

Pastor Graham,
As I read your blog all I can say is wow. Want a profound impact on the church worldwide. The wow is for being able to see the foot steps of God in your life. Want an honor that God found you faithful to in trust so many souls in your hand. Your life as a leader in the kingdom of God is an engagement. Your life is like a road map showing use how to make it thru the process. Thank God for using you to place our feet firmly on the right path. Pastor I am praying that you will all ways stay connected to the broken world. I have found I can all ways fine Jesus at work among the neighborhoods the world gave up on. So went I feel lonely for Jesus I just go out and work were he at work.
Scripture that comes to mind is ( Luke 12:48 KJV) But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
