Gathering The Church Together In His Time…
I’ve always pastored established congregations. I’ve never been on the “ground floor” of seeing a church come together. It’s a new mission and a new challenge but it’s also very exciting. It’s humbling to see how God is little by little fitting “puzzle pieces” together to gather the church together in His time. From people calling and asking questions to meeting new people and sharing the vision with them. From getting calls as far away as central arkansas from a couple who is praying about moving here to help us or from the people we meet at Family Dollar or Millers… God has a distinct group of people He is gathering to form this new church. Won’t you pray that God will continue to open hearts and doors? Pray as we witness and seek to win souls and teach them God’s Word.
Prayer: “God please continue to touch and burden the hearts of those people you want to become a part of this foundational core group at Life House Church. Help them to know your will and to be willing to take a step of faith and surrender to join this great work. WE want your will – not ours. Please continue to unify our hearts and knit us together as a core group. Give us your mind. One mind, one body and one ministry. Don’t let us get focused on programs or ministries that would take us away from being a ”simple church” – one that focuses on loving you, loving others and serving the world. Keep us focused. Help us not to listen to anyone who would seek to distract us with negativity or anything that is not of faith. You bless faith and with you all things are possible. Thank you Lord for what you are about to do in our lives and in our church. Thank you for providing all of our physical, financial, spiritual and emotional needs – according to your riches in glory. We praise you Jesus…in Jesus name. AMEN!”
