What Would It Take?
What would it take to double the size of College Heights in one year or two...What would have to change about our culture, practices, habits, lifestyles, beliefs and faith? My first thought is we would have to become immersed in prayer and fasting because it would seem to be impossible but with God all things are possible and on this subject, with God this is even desirable! My second thought is a radical love would come from the fire of that kind of prayer immersion into the heart of God for our city! Christ's love would compell us and His Spirit would empower us to love like we have never loved before. We would see an explosion of boldness that we see as the mark of the early church that was also immersed in prayer. Paul encouraged the early church to pray continually, no wonder!
Every year, thanks to 25+ mature trees in our yard we have a growing pile of limbs on my "burn pile". The potential for a huge fire lays there most of the year waiting for a match. When the time is right and I light the pile you can't miss the sight if you are driving along Newman Rd. Jesus said, "let your light so shine before men that they may see your good deeds and give glory to the Father in Heaven." That's how I see this God blessed church, so full of the Word of God and ready to burn, just waiting to be lit!
If you are interested in praying about this and other outreach opportunities here and around the world come and pray at the FUEL Prayer Meeting at Life House 7 pm!
