A very wise (and very old) senior pastor (with the initials G.E. ☺) recently gave me some great advice. “The key to discovering God’s will”, he said, “is not to tell him our plans and ask him to bless them. Rather, we should discover where God is at work, and join him in what He is doing.” Sounds very Biblical, an application of “Your kingdom come. Your will be done.”
Well, that’s exactly what we want to do in church planting. Where should we go? Where is God already working?
Just a few weeks back we knew God was directing us to a city in Virginia, but we didn’t know which one. In the past 3 weeks, however, God has been making clear the city that we should consider: Fredericksburg. It seems as though God is already at work in that city preparing the way for a church plant. There are several families meeting regularly for fellowship and praying that a Sovereign Grace church would be planted in their city.
We are thankful to God for his leading and for faith to follow him in this process. Over the next several months, we will be building relationships with these new friends and praying with them for continued direction.
Would you join us in prayer? Please pray that God would make his will clear, and that we would have the faith to obey. We are so thankful that God has given us this time at KingsWay to prepare us for the task ahead. It is such a joy to partner with all of you in the advance of the gospel!
