Counting the Cost!
Sending Baxter & Katie Bentley
Mike Stroope, guest speaker

Luke 14:28-30
“For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish'.”

Acts 13:1-3
Acts 14:26-28

FIVE CRITICAL QUESTIONS for us at this point in this commitment

1. Why are Katie and Baxter going?
2. Why does Cottonwood send Katie and Baxter?
3. What will sending Katie and Baxter cost us?
4. What do we hope to gain from sending them?
5. Will we go with them?

Matthew 16:24-25 – “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
