Summer has officially set in at LifePoint Church. You can feel it in the air. Many of our faith family are traveling, visiting relatives, or at the lake. Though growth has slowed for the summer (as it always does in a young church like ours), the excitement and passion for our mission remains as strong as ever. Here are a few highlights from yesterday.
- We celebrated baptism of Maegan, one of our middle school students who was baptized by her dad, Bryan. What an amazing testimony of not only a young lady who wants to be a world changer as she follows Christ, but also, of a mom and dad who are committed to pointing their kids to a Christ-centered life.
- Someone who attended Servology shared with Brad Bynum that the two weeks her family attended Servology were, in her words, “very eye-opening.” She realized that though they have lived in their home for several years, they did not know their neighbors. Now, every day, as she drives home, she looks intentionally for neighbors she can meet and begin to influence.
- Yesterday was an epic day in the life of LifePoint Church, as we united as 2 campuses to commission the launch team for our third. Our Bangkok Campus Pastor, Bret Cox departs today. The rest of the team will soon follow. Please pray for our Bangkok team as we send them to be the church where there is no church.
- One of our Worship Arts volunteers and his wife (They’re two of our few senior adults at SCC.) approached me after the 11:00 service yesterday to simply ask, “What else can we do to live out the mission- to point people to a Christ-centered life?” What an amazing question! I’m more and more amazed by Lifers who are willing to give their lives away with reckless abandon…..and by the way, later this week, I’ll post 5 Ways to Live the Mission this Summer.
- I met several families of guests who were invited by friends and had an amazing experience. Keep up the good work, Lifers!
I’d love to hear your stories of life change from the week. What is God doing in and through you or your small group?
Well, even though we don’t have a small group…thought I would share what Father is up to over here…
Clark now has two new guys meeting in his group (went from one to three!) These two have just recently heard the story and have chosen to believe, we are so excited!! Asking that they will share and more will come to know Him! And I have a group of girls meeting at our house, many of them have soft hearts and are so close to believing! God is up to big things around here
