Game Planning


Yesterday was our prayer meeting for Angels Camp. It was a great time of prayer. But tonight had a different flavor to it. Tonight started out with discussions about Spiritual warfare, in regards to church planting, outreach ideas, leadership styles and timing, in relation to a start date. It was a real exciting night. It seems more and more like God has his hand in this. 
After our time of discussion and before we prayed we read Nehemiah 2. I pointed out that the very things we had been talking about were confirmed in this passage. We saw how Nehemiah had a broken heart for the people of Israel. Because of his broken heart for Israel, he risk his life to restore salvation and worship. I reminded everyone that if we are in to this church plant for any other reason than glorifying God and with a broken heart for people that are lost  we shouldn't do it. Just as Nehemiah faced opposition, We should expect much of the same. As long as we are assured of our calling from God, it will be alright!
Keep praying for us it is greatly appreciated.
