Arkansas Church Planting Prayer Network - 40

Greetings Prayer Partners!

 

This week we ask you to pray for our semi-annual church planter training – Church Planting Essentials.

Last, and this weekend, we have 11 church planting teams that are going through the training.

These teams represent new churches being started in Texarkana, Harrison, Walnut Ridge, Wynne, Jonesboro, Russellville, and elsewhere.

Pray for the facilitators this weekend that they will present clearly and effectively.

Pray for the teams, that the Lord would use this time to help clarify His vision and plan for the new churches.

Pray for the lost in each of these communities, that the Lord would draw them to Himself through the witness of these new works.

Thanks, as always, for joining together with these and other church planters through your prayers!

 

S’Bogum!

Greetings Prayer Partners,

The Lord is at work!

So far this year the Lord has added 29 new churches to the ABSC. With 2 months to go, and others in the process, we could easily see more than 30.

There is no doubt that a critical part of the Lord’s work is accomplished through prayer.

Thank you all for praying and please continue to pray for more workers for the harvest.

Today we would like to ask specific prayer for Grace Country Church in Sydney. This is a new church start this year. They have purchased a building that needs a lot of work. Pray for the Lord’s provision for the necessary remodel, for workers, and for the Lord to use this new church to reach their community with the Good News!

 

S’Bogum for now!

Greetings Church Planting Prayer Partners!

 

Thank you for praying for new church starts all over the State of Arkansas.

The following request comes from a new church planter out of Piney Point Baptist Church and who is starting a new work in Eureka Springs.

 

We are currently trying to sell our home in Kansas, OK so we can move to where we are planting the church (Eureka Springs, AR). Please keep our home sale in your prayers...we are anxious to be at our church full-time.

Thanks...

 

 

Pastor Deryl           

 

Please also pray for Deryl, his family, his team, and the community, as they seek to reach the lost in Eureka Springs with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Prayer Partners,

 

Two prayer requests in as many days!

I just now received this email (below) from one of our church planters in Conway, Jeremy Miller.

Please pray, and if you might be able to help, just give him a call.

 

Thanks – Tim

 

 

Tim,

      I have a HUGE request.  Tyler is heading up our renovation team for the new building and we need to finish it fast but when your church has a majority of college guys they tend to get distracted by everything . . .  We need a bunch of volunteers next Sun-Wed to help us finish the building. Those interested can call me at 501-413-9432 or Tyler at 501-514-2565.  We need the help!

 

Jeremy

Greetings Prayer Partners!

 

Today is a milestone for us. We now have over 500 Arkansas Baptists signed up and praying for church planting here in Arkansas!

THANK YOU for your willingness to join together with us through your prayers.

The Lord is at work and it is exciting to be a part of what He is doing.

 

This week we ask you to pray for the Church Planting Essentials training going on this weekend in Northwest Arkansas. We have 9 church planting teams represented in this training. That means there are 9 new churches that have just started over the past couple of months or are being started here in the very near future.

 

One of the best things about this is that there is another scheduled church planting training in November with another 10 or 11 church planting teams being invited!

 

Pray for the leaders of the training this weekend, that they would communicate clearly.

Pray for the teams, that this training would help guide them and prepare them for the many issues and pitfalls that often arise in a new church plant.

Pray that the Lord would use each of these teams and each of these new church starts to reach many with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

 

For His Glory!

Pine Bluff Church Planting Institute

The Pine Bluff Church Planting Institute got off to a great start last night.
This institute is a partnership between the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, the Harmony Baptist Association and the North American Mission Board.
Our goal is to raise up African American church planters and leaders to begin new works in the Pine Bluff area, the Delta region, and all of Arkansas.
Please pray for this initiative, that the Lord would do a mighty work.

Greetings Faithful Prayer Partners!

 

Today is an exciting day in the area of church planting here in Arkansas.

This evening is the first session of the new Pine Bluff Church Planting Institute.

Cooperating together are the ABSC, the Harmony Baptist Association and NAMB, to begin a church planting school for Pine Bluff and the Delta region of Arkansas.

 

Please pray for us this evening, as we just got word that the AC is out in the chapel where we are going to meet. The workers are there now trying to fix it.

Pray the Lord’s blessing on the institute as a whole, that the Lord would raise up church planters to start new works and reach the thousands upon thousands of lost in our state.

Pray for His hand to be on each of the students, pastors, and leaders, over the next few weeks as we seek His will, His direction, and His power.

 

S’Bogum
