Last night the PLT met for their regular meeting. We reviewed some of the great things that are happening around GBF, we talked about our God of the City series, future community events and more. It was exciting to hear and talk about the way God is leading us to minister and share Christ's love here in Gunter.
When I returned home, Gina had just finished up her quarterly board meeting with The Mission Board of Directors and began sharing with me how God is so obviously orchestrating some modern day Nehemiah events through some wonderful things that are happening there. Doors are opening because they are asking...not begging or pleading, but just asking. Just like Nehemiah presented his case to the king, God is preparing the hearts of people who would not normally be sensitive and its EXCITING!!!
How's God working in your own life? Have you heard there's a need in Gunter? Have you been burdened by the conditions here? Have you spent serious time in prayer and fasting, seeking God's direction about how He wants you to participate? Have you become heart-sick, like Nehemiah before the king? Have you presented your case to someone who can help you? It's a lot of work to follow this plan of Nehemiah's. It takes time, conscious effort and discipline.
I'd love to hear how you're putting these lessons into action. How's God leading you? Sharing it with others will provide some accountability for you and also will allow others to pray for you. It also spreads an excitement amongst God's people when we share that God is busy working right here in front of us and through us. You can leave a comment here on the blog or drop me a note if you'd like prayer about the way God is leading you. I'd be more than happy to join you in prayer for God's direction.
Hang on...this week is going to be good! God's got someplace special for you to work. We'll find out just how important your place is on the wall. Looking forward to seeing you there!
