Praying Through Growth

Couple's Study at Our House Tuesday Night

We would like to invite you to pray along with us as we continue to seek God's design for the new couple's ministry. There are so many models and ideas out there today. We have been trying to focus on life on life discipleship and God has been blessing us all. But we understand that for more couples to have this same privilege we need to multiply and grow. These couples you see here above, are part of the couples who are praying, working, and seeking God along with Wendy and I to see His simple process become a reality. We desire to help couples live as disciples of Christ and serve the church as we engage the world to help others live as disciples of Christ.

This is a great group of people. The potential for the couples ministry and church is incredible. We are at a unique point in our development. We are seeking to create a lifestyle ministry model for the couples that is simple, scalable, and reproducible. Only one of the couples pictured here was previously involved with our campus ministry, so this is a whole new adventure for them all. Most of our campus fruit are young and unmarried.

Pray God would continue to draw each of these couples to Himself, filling them with His grace and love. Pray God would show us His direction and plans for the development of the couples ministry and leaders for the church. Pray God would continue to help us introduce our friends, family, and business contacts to Jesus as we walk together in Him.

The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. I Cor. 12:12-13 NIV
