Arkansas Church Planting Prayer Network - 23

Greetings Prayer Partners!

 

The Lord is working among new churches here in Arkansas. Below is a testimony from one of our church planters. I could not help but pass it on. Praise the Lord together with us and continue to pray for Bobby and the Cross Roads Baptist Church!

 

Cross Roads Baptist Church- God is working in BIG ways out in Pea Ridge Arkansas! We started this church February 7th and we already have between 25-30 regular members! God has saved souls, and changes lives. We already have one "preacher boy" who has fallen to the call of preaching and is studying under me. We have another young man recently saved and delivered from drugs and alcohol abuse who is talented in music and poetry and has written his first all Christ focused song and will be performing it this week! God is reuniting families, delivering people from addictions, and growing up strong witnesses for Him! We give God all the Glory for all the things He has done in our church and look forward to seeing how He will use us next.

Arkansas Church Planting Prayer Network - 22

Greetings Prayer Partners!

Thank you for joining us in praying for new churches to be started all across Arkansas.

And thank you for praying last week for Robert and Kami Branscum of Life Church, a new church start in Searcy.
The Lord has answered our prayers.
Just today, Robert signed a very agreeable lease for a prime location in town. Praise the Lord!

We also want to Praise the Lord for the new Hmong work started this past Sunday in Nashville, AR with 43 Hmong in attendance.
Below is a picture of the commissioning service held at Ridgeway Baptist (the sponsoring church) in Nashville.


Please continue to keep both of these new congregations in your prayers.

God is Good !!!

New Hmong Church!

Ridgeway Baptist Church in Nashville, Arkansas along with the Little River Baptist Association has taken a giant leap of faith by sponsoring a new Hmong mission in Nashville. On Sunday, April 11, 2010 churches from across the Little River Baptist Association met at Ridgeway Baptist Church to hold a joint worship service with this new Hmong congregation. Ridgeway has agreed to sponsor this new work and several churches throughout the association have agreed to financially partner with Ridgeway Baptist Church in reaching the Hmong community for Christ.
