It's Curtis' birthday today!
What an awesome, incredible blessing God gave us when He put Curtis in our family.
Amazing brother, best friend, confidant, leader, encourager, gifted evangelist, tender-hearted, strong, fun-loving, discipler of many, fellow coffee lover, solid man of God, future Doctor...
The list goes on, and on, and on, and on.
Now in his second year of medical school, Curtis is well on his way towards medical missions, with an unshakable heart for the lost and an unquenchable love for God's Word. Curtis is well-loved, well-respected, and much looked up to by everyone around him for his rare strength of character and integrity.
He has already had an impact on many lives at medical school, and looks forward to serving God through missions in the future. But Curtis firmly believes that the Missional Life doesn't start when he becomes an M.D.; God calls every one of us to be a missionary, right where we are. It isn't about traveling to a far-away country where the people don't look like you. It is about being salt and light, serving the Body of Christ, and winning souls for Him, right HERE.
Curtis knows what he believes and where he's going in life. I am so thankful to be his sister, and to be by his side, witnessing first-hand the greatness of God and the powerful effect of one man following the ways of Christ.
Happy Birthday, Curtis!

Happy birthday Curtis!!! You're so talented in initiating conversations with people, reaching into their hearts, and bringing out the best in them. I'm always so challenged to seek God harder when I'm around you. You have a beautiful gift of ministering to people and encouraging them. I look forward to seeing you become a Dr and where God takes you with that. It's such an exciting journey. The healthcare field is such an amazing calling! Hope you have a great celebration!

ReplyDeleteCurtis,
ReplyDeleteThis is an extremely belated birthday wish (The old adage "better late than never" should be inserted here). I'm so grateful to have you as a friend, and pray that God will use you in mighty ways this next year. Keep up the good, hard work! You're an inspiration and encouragement to many. Thank you.
Happy birthday, (oh, and it's December which means I can say Merry Christmas as well!)
