SIXTEEN DEAR MEN WERE SAVED THIS PAST SATURDAY EVENING AT THE SECOND ANNUAL WILD GAME DINNER IN MARYLAND. BETWEEN TWO AND THREE HUNDRED ATTENDEE'S GATHERED FOR ONE OF THE FINEST MEALS OF WILD GAME I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF SPEAKING AT. I THEN SPOKE ALL DAY AT PASTOR BUETTNER'S GOOD CHURCH BOTH MORNING AND EVENING. MY WHAT A WONDERFUL CONGREGATION, THE CHURCH WAS PACKED IN THE MORNING SERVICE WITH SOME ATTENDING THAT HAD BEEN PRESENT AT THE SUPPER THE EVENING BEFORE.
DR. BUETTNER IS ALSO THE DIRECTOR OF THE BALTIMORE MISSION AND HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST TWENTY-FOUR YEARS. THE MISSION FEEDS OVER FIVE HUNDRED MEALS A DAY, HAS FACILITIES FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THOSE STAYING THERE FOR THE EVENING GATHER AT FOUR THIRTY IN THE AFTERNOON, EAT SUPPER AND MANDATORILY ATTEND AN EVENING WORSHIP SERVICE. EVERYONE IS PROVIDED A PLACE TO SLEEP, EAT BREAKFAST THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AND MUST BE OUT BY EIGHT THIRTY. THE MISSION HAS A DETOX CENTER FOR THOSE WITH DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROBLEMS. THIS IS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE A MOUNTAIN OF RESPONSIBILITY BUT WITH MEANINGFUL RESULTS. DR. BUETTNER, LIKE MYSELF, SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. HE IS A GRADUATE OF PENSACOLA CHRISTIAN COLLEGE WITH AN EARNED DOCTORATE OF DIVINITY. OOH RAH!
