Why we need more churches

A secular explanation of why we like and need variety - does it have application in the starting of new churches?

Greetings Prayer Partners!

The Lord continues to move all across our state – and new churches are being started as a result.

This week we ask that you pray for Whispering Pines Cowboy Church in Pine Bluff.

A leadership team has been meeting for the last several months and on Sunday May 30, they will be holding their first public service.

Pray for this new church plant.

Pray for the Lord to raise up a church planter/pastor for this new work. They have a good core group, and a solid vision, but ask that we join them in praying for God’s man to lead them.

Pray that many unchurched men and women would come to know the LORD through this new church.

Blessings!

God is Good . . . and your prayers are being answered!

 

Thank you for joining us in praying for new churches in Arkansas.

Three weeks ago you prayed for Robert and Kami Branscum at a new church plant in Searcy – Life Church.

This past Saturday, Unity Baptist from Paragould brought 60 volunteers to Searcy to help with an outreach block party at one of the key apartment complexes. The Lord held off the storms as the volunteers from Unity and the core team from Life Church cooked 400 + hot dogs, played games, knocked on doors, and made more than 500 contacts.

Sunday morning Life Church held its first public worship service. Beside the core group there were 5 new families that came as a result of the block party the day before.

Please continue to pray – He is at work!

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.
