Greetings from Surprise! It’s been a great couple of days here in sunny Arizona, watching my Rangers in spring training at beautiful Surprise Stadium, stopping by In-N-Out and enjoying one … or … two … or … three burgers, and spending time with a great friend, Bill Borinstein.
Bill, a former minister at Prestonwood, is now the senior pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel North Phoenix—a church plant of the great Chicago-area Harvest Bible Chapel led by my good friend James MacDonald. I was pleased to meet with Bill and some of the church leaders regarding everything that’s going on at this dynamic new church. At Prestonwood, we’ve been blessed to be able to help this young church with portable equipment that helps them set up for services each weekend.
Just speaking to them, you can sense the incredible excitement they feel about reaching this region for Christ. If you live in the Phoenix area, be sure to visit Harvest Bible Chapel. If you have friends or family who live there, encourage them to go check it out.
Well, the Rangers’ pitching is still Up-N-Down. But In-N-Out is as good as ever.

It was great to spend time with Pastor, Marc Rylander, Jarrett Stephens, and Josh Graham. I was greatly encouraged spending time with you guys and catching up on all that the Lord is doing at Prestonwood and through PowerPoint Ministries. As I told Pastor, planting a church is a tremendous amount of work and can sometimes feel like a lonely road, so seeing these four Christ loving, burger eating, baseball fans was just what the doctor ordered. In addition to the fun, we had a chance to discuss ministry and Pastor's current message series...which we may do in the fall.
Our ties with Prestonwood continue as I will have the opportunity to baptize a young man in a few weeks who was referred to our church by a couple at Prestonwood. He accepted Christ his first Sunday at Harvest and has been on fire for our Lord since.
One last thought from Phoenix...go Mavs, and for the Rangers, maybe this is the year?
May the Lord bless your day.
Bill Borinstein
