Do you ever feel like you lived a month in a weeks time? This was last week for me. It started off with an amazing Sunday at Reliant. We had music and guests and it was outstanding. Then on Monday, Brian Clark was in town for a Missions conference and we had lunch with his entire family.
Brain as been a missionary in the outskirts of London, England since 2002 and is doing a great job bringing discipleship to that place. He is the pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church and is active in modern day evangelism with the teams that come over to help during the Summer months. He set up a lunch date with two other pastors here in town so that I could meet them. This was much appreciated since I haven't had a chance to really get out and meet a lot of guys yet.
One of the guys at the table was Billy Wood, pastor of One Baptist Church in Douglasville. It was good to meet a guy sold out to discipleship and ready to do a great work for God. He is the pastor of a 2 1/2 year old church plant and has got a good group of people behind him. I look forward to the time I can visit their place and hang out a bit.
The other guy at the table was James Dekoker, pastor of Connect Church in Emmerson. James is also a new church plant and has been running a discipleship model somewhat similar to mine. I was excited to hear about the people they had won to Christ through relationship building. If you are out the Emmerson way, Connect Church would be a good one to go and visit. I'm excited to talk with James more about the Church Plant and get some pointers from him as we get ready to launch Reliant.
That just gets us to Tuesday afternoon. Brian preached at Reliant on Tuesday night and was really helpful in getting the people to understand the balance of evangelism with discipleship. The bottom line of his teaching was this. If you don't A.S.K. people about Jesus you're not going to win anybody. If you would like to catch Brian's powerful message online, just follow this link.
I'm been blown away by some of the things that the Lord has been teaching me in Joshua. Things I had never seen about Rahab. So, I'm excited about Sunday. If you would like to be a part of an exciting church plant, come to Reliant this Sunday. You won't be disappointed. We had to purchase some chairs this week which cost us $500.00 If you would like to help with the cost you can donate by CLICKING HERE.
