U Matters - 27 Mar 2014

by Greg Anderson on March 28, 2014

I write from the Sea of Galilee. From this vantage point I can see many of the sites from the ministry of Jesus Christ. I look across the water to the Golan Heights. We are eight miles from Syria and have heard missiles and artillery fire off and on all day.

This is where Jesus called his first disciples. Thousands of years later his call to "follow me" is heard by his current disciples. A few miles from me Syrian Christians are experiencing profound persecution. A few meters from you there are people who don't know Jesus.

The leadership of Union is praying that many of you will take the next step and formally join our congregation. There will be an "Amnesty Membership Lunch" on 6 April.

Greg Anderson

Greg Anderson joined Union as Senior Pastor in January 2007. He has served churches in England and in the US and has taught at Wheaton College. He has degrees from Wheaton, Princeton Seminary, Yale University, and the University of Minnesota. Greg has been married to and besotted by Holly for 29 years. They have four children: Lindsey a chemical engineer in Boston, Andrew a banker in London, Jamie an actor in LA, and John a student at Hong Kong University. Greg has a passion for preaching, evangelism, teaching, church growth, and equipping people for ministry in the marketplace. He gets teased for quoting C S Lewis too often and having a staff so stunning that people wonder what there is left for him to do. He collects and even reads books, watches baseball on the internet, and thanks God daily for the opportunity to serve with such an amazing congregation.
