So we found out that Mark and I were approved by Acts 29! We are so very excited! We now enter the candidate phase. In order to be an official Acts 29 church we need to have 40 committed members. Adult members...Oliver, Basil, Baby Jane, Baby Caleb and Josiah don't count. :(
This is very exciting for Mark and me. It is humbling too. This continues to confirm the Lord's calling on our life to church plant. This also pushes us along to stay faithful to the path that the Lord has put before us. It also continues to push us to pray, pray and pray some more. Trinity is only going to happen if the Lord allows it to happen. He is the only One that can draw people to Him and bring them from death to life. So we are utterly dependent on Him. I'm thankful that it doesn't depend on me or Mark because eventually we would screw it all up. Not eventually, but pretty soon...if not already. :)

YAY!! :) Praise God-this is great news. Definitely a confirmation, and motivation just as you said!
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know waht an Acts 29 church is, but it sounds like God is working for you, which makes my heart sing!
