Spreading the News

I missed my regular CHOP blogging time this past Wednesday because I was with a bunch of church planters sharing about prayer and the CHOP ministry. What a blessing! These are men and women in the trenches. It was a blessing to me to hear their stories, to see their passion and to feel the pain of the challenges of church planting--all for the sake of Christ. It thrills me to think that God would use CHOP to help these servants of Christ mobilize their folks to prayer for the sake of the gospel. It seems to me that CHOP finds a place in church planting in that it establishes and grows the fledgling group in the incubator of prayer, building the group by giving them an upward and outward focus from the start, cultivating a mentality of mission, as all eyes are expectant on the Lord Jesus who is the builder of His church.
