What a great time we had in our 2005 Mission Conference. We were blessed and challenged by what God is doing in and through His people. I am humbled to think of how God has allowed me the blessed privilege of pastoring such a mission minded people. I'm overwhelmed by the readiness of LBC to take up the challenges of sponsoring missionaries and supporting missions in our nation and the world. There are some other areas that God is moving and burdening my heart. One of those is in sponsoring and sending a missionary stateside. Whether that is in our state of Indiana, or some other area of our nation isn't clear yet. But I have begun praying that God would burden our hearts for the place and prepare and send the man He would have us to send out as our missionary. I am also burdened for a school in our state for the training of pastors and Christian workers. There are pastors and missionaries whom God is burdening about the need in our state for a school. Too many who surrender to Christian ministry and service are leaving our state for training abroad. The fact is that they are staying abroad once they leave. While we understand that there is a great need for pastors, missionaries and Christian workers all over the world, we need them here as well. Please make these two things a matter of prayer.
The revival is going well and the people at Landmark, LaPorte are a blessing. We are being challenged, and I am being revived and fed by the opportunity to worship, praise and preach with the good people here. I pray that God will use this time together to grow us and that we might truly see revival of hearts, home and nation.
