The Ministry Bucket List of Pastor Andrew Ray

A bucket list is defined as a list of experiences or achievements a person hopes to complete during his lifetime. As I thought upon this concept, it came into my heart to share a bucket list of my own. I would love to say with certainty that each of these is God’s will, but I know my own desires and plans oft creep in and intermingle with God’s. While my life and times are in the hands of the Almighty, failure to plan is to plan to fail. I ask that you pray with me regarding accomplishing the following in whatever time I have left. Uniquely, I will list here some of the things that have, by God’s grace, ALREADY been accomplished. THE COMPLETED PROJECTS ARE HIGHLIGHTED.
