Have you realized how big prayer is? The last 4 years, since we started Covenant Grove, God has shown me just how important prayer is. From finances, to risking for God, to praying for support and leaders, to seeing doors open, PRAYER is so important. In church planting, we say, “prayer is the plow; plant behind the plow!” Prayer changes things, and give us power, because we are connected with Jesus.
This Sunday I have been invited to share at Big Valley Grace Church in Modesto. I try to always say yes to these invitations – because I see it as a chance to raise up more prayer support. I get a chance to share the story and vision of Covenant Grove, and I make a pointed appeal for prayer. The weeks after these engagements, I keep a watchful eye to see what will happen with the surge of extra prayers.
So this weekend, keep my family and me in your prayers – we will be at Big Valley Saturday night and Sunday morning. We will be sharing our story and celebrating the unity all Christians have in Christ, and the unity we have in Modesto. And we will be raising up prayer support. Pray for us, and keep praying for Covenant Grove as we start God’s Special Kids Camp and seek to truly be a blessing to Modesto, and serve our Lord in all things.
