I had lunch today with my friend and fellow church planter Mark Bjorlo of the Journey North. While we were hanging out and eating some hot wings we ran into another friend, Sam Anderson who is the Director of the new Teen Challenge here in Brainerd.
It was very encouraging because the three of us are a part of three different organizations, the Baptist General Conference, Teen Challenge and the Christian and Missionary Alliance; but we are all seeking to partner together to flood our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I am energized and fired up whenever I am around like mined gospel-driven people who live for the Kingdom of God. As I have mentioned before Mark and the Journey North are partnering together to help us plant Pointway Church. We were discussing ways to continue to do just that over lunch today. I have met with Sam and we have some crazy, God-inspired dreams to see the gospel radically transform people and our community.
These relationships are important because the bear witness to the fact that the Kingdom of God is bigger than and denomination or organization. I pray that the LORD would continue to use us to display his glory and that we would connect with other churches would are willing to set aside denominationalism in and effort to transform our community with the gospel of the Kingdom.
Soli Deo Gloria
