Pastor Eddie Bumpers of Crossway Baptist Church challenged Missouri Baptists at the “Sowing in Tears” conference to do “whatever it takes” to reach the lost. Preaching from Matt. 9:1-8, Bumpers recounted how four faithful friends dug a hole in someone’s roof to get their lame friend to Jesus for the restoration he needed. Bumpers shared four characteristics that believers should imitate as they reach the lost.
