"What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to Him." One of my friends shared this verse to us before we started our Monday prayer time yesterday. There is such power behind knowing the One who created the universe and all that is in it dwells amongst us when we gather to pray.
As you have probably heard me say before our primary work here in Aliquippa is prayer. I can't help but blog about it and talk about it because we have seen God work in so very many ways through our crying out. Please understand that I do not say any of this to bring credit to ourselves, but to God and God alone.
Through prayer God has given a couple of our friends a vision to start missional communities. What are missional communities you might ask? The purpose of a missional community is to intentionally live out God's mission together. Life on Life! Worshipping together, serving together, learning together, outreaching together, failing together, and rejoicing together. I know some of you may think, "how is this different from what you do now?" The difference is we are providing an atmosphere for believers and unbelievers to be discipled whether they choose to attend an institutional church or not. I am so excited about this! I know God is going to do incredible things through our two groups and cannot wait to see the power of Christ transform people. Please pray for us as we begin this new journey. Your prayers are coveted!
Love Deeply
