“What Does Life House NEED”?
That question is asked rather often as people hear about the new church plant. God is providing our NEEDS and sometimes our WANTS and it’s amazing to watch how He does it. When this ministry started we knew that it was going to be a “GOD SIZED TASK” and yet God has been faithful over and over again to “show Himself” and confirm that this ministry is His doing. He is using churches, groups and individuals to provide what is needed as the need arises. Without making a large list on this blog I want to say that the most important need we have at Life House Church & Ministries is PRAYER. How can you pray for us?
1. Put us on your personal daily prayer list and ask your church and/or Sunday School Class to put us on their prayer list and keep us there!
2. Pray for Cindy and me as we seek to lead the new core group. We are trying to get “trained” and ready for the Launch Day on August 10. Pray that I have wisdom and courage to be what God desires me to be in this new position.
3. Pray for the people of College Hill and the surrounding areas. We ARE NOT in competition with other churches in the area – we simply want to reach people for Jesus. Our target is the College Hill area. We are seeking to build a MULTI-CULTURAL church. All colors – mixed families, mixed children and those who haven’t found a place they “feel” welcome are who we are seeking to reach. Pray for us to be able to do so.
4. Pray for us to be able to get our building ready for the “Launch Day”. There is still much to do and many needs still exist to make it possible to open the doors on August 10th. We want the building to be a testimony to the community and a praise to God. If you have talents and want to help get it ready – call me! Maybe you or your “group” could take something on as a project. Need a project – i’m sure we have one you can tackle.
5. PRAY FOR SOULS to be saved, leaders to be cultivated and for volunteers to come forward to become a apart of the many inreach and outreach ministries we are going to be involved in as a church. We are a simple church with a simple message and a simple focus – but we still need dedicated, called workers. Little by little God is bringing leaders into our local church body – but we need more. Pray!
6. Pray for our Core Group of members. Pray for God to bless them personally and as a group. Pray that God would help them study, grow and push the limits of their comfort zones.
7. Pray for musicians, instruments and equipment. Pray that God would provide singers for a Praise Team that are from various cultures. We want a mixed praise team that reflects the heart of this new ministry.
Let me close the blog this morning by saying to all of you who are faithful prayer warriors- THANK YOU! Thanks for getting on your knees and talking to the Father on behalf of Life House Church. Thank you for not just saying you are going to pray but actually praying. Thank you to those churches and groups that are praying for us. God has plans for us at Life House and I know He is going to accomplish great things. When we launch we are going to see even greater blessings and miracles than we have ever seen before. Keep praying!!! Pastor James
