God Shows Up Big in Nampa
|
 Getting past cancer surgery and back in the leadership saddle is feeling really good. The leaders in all areas of CTK Nampa never faltered in their commitment to keep morale high and to keep the main thing the main thing. God has affirmed once again that leaders are supposed to invest in leaders, and that has been the focus of my reentry as I am healing. The third full week of January was my first week at connecting and reinforcing the vision of our leadership and the payoff was instant the next weekend (with 5 new families in attendance).
I am so thankful that we plant and water and He brings the growth. In the past few weeks eight people have made a profession of faith, we have started a great New Believers class, our numbers are increasing, and God is showing up big in all of our meetings. In this tough economy several key people have been laid off, but we are still committing to having nine men attend the Arrows Out Conference on the 28th of this month.
Our current meeting venue in Nampa is way too expensive for us right now, so my prayer request is that God would open the doors for a place that is "CTK unique" and affordable. I am more convinced than ever that our country needs the fresh grace and authenticity that is abundant in our story. Thanks for the many prayers, please don't stop.
