Church Planters and Beta Test

Good morning all!

Last week I had the immense privilege to attend a Beta Test of one of DCPIs training tracts. It was at our Colorado Springs headquarters. It had been so long since I had been to Colorado Springs. It was like I was seeing it for the first time. The mountains were so majestic and gorgeous! I honestly could stare at them for hours! Did I mention the stars?? I didn't, well they were amazing(like always)!

During this Beta test I got to meet some amazing church planters and some denominational leaders. I was so excited I got to meet Jeremy and Travis from Green Bay. I know I have told you about them. He is the one who planted a church on Global Church Planting Sunday.

Although I don't see myself planting a church any time soon it was awesome to be apart of a training. It was such a blessing to hear the vision that God has given to all the church planters. Their passion rubbed of on me! We heard from lot of people and were able to pray for them as well. I mean what would church planting training be without prayer!

On the second day we had a lesson on dealing with discouragement. They chose the right person to present that. Stacy Hilliard always knocks it out of the park! I felt like he was speaking right to me! We can thank the Holy Spirit for that!

I'm not necessarily discouraged. He was just reaffirming my calling! Here are some points that stood out to me!

• God puts the DO in you!
• The reason God is calling you is because He knows what's in you!
• What you need to fulfill your destiny, God will get to you!
• Focus creates blindness. John 4:35

At one point I thought he might break the tv screen because he was getting into it! 

Overall the 3 day training was successful. I got to network a little and the track is coming along nicely.
I am so blessed to have this calling. The Lord is truly teaching me to be patient and showing me His vision!

If you are interested.... it only takes $85 to build a church. If you want to invest into God Church click here!

I pray Gods blessing over each of you!

Now go explore your world!

Question me if you dare

As the snow is falling I am just reminded of so many things. The Holy Spirit lays heavy on my heart, mind and soul.

This morning I went and spoke with a fellow christian about becoming a missionary. As I sat there listening to his questions it began to sink in that he was questioning my beliefs and my calling!

Yes, I know that what I'm doing is hard. Yes, I know it is challenging to raise funds when I'm not shipping off to another country. And YES I know without a shadow of a doubt that this is where God is calling me!  With God ALL things are possible!!!!

Then as I was speaking with a teammate he was dealing with the same thing. We are in the midst of spiritual warfare! As I was praying this verse (part of my destiny statement) came to mind! "And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet" Malachi 4:2-3

Although our passion level may be a little low today, we both recognize that what we do day-to-day saves lives and takes them away from the devil! Not only saves them, we take them out of darkness. From darkness into the light! The light of the One true God!!

I know that even though we have these days where people who we thought were on our side, question us, we are where we're supposed to be!

Question me if you dare! But, I have a very big and a very loving God on my side! I am where I need to be!
