Sometimes I get "into" something so much that I can't see the forest for the trees. For example, two weeks ago I was meeting with the wife of the president of the Jordan Baptist Convention (a pastor who just happens to be taking classes at our local seminary and comes to our city twice a year). We were talking about how to train parents at their church. As I'm telling her about my inability to overcome tech challenges, she says something like, "Well, until you get that worked out, I can create a Whatsapp or Messenger group and send the parents the first chapter of Shepherding A Child's Heart. After reading it, each of them can message the group one thing that they want to begin obeying consistently." That sounded much more simple than what I was trying to do! So here it is in English but don't blink... I will probably change it tomorrow :-\ Please pray for many conversations with pastors and leaders about training parents over the next month.
Please pray for a friend who is a pastor and his wife who are struggling in their marriage. We will begin counseling soon.
Pray for a church that is outgrowing its current location. Pray that their next steps would be highly missional and highly reproducible.
