In Indianapolis, we now have seven PCA churches, and most have been planted within the last 10 years. Praise the Lord! Most of these churches are between 200-400 people. How exciting to see God working! It's also amazing to see how many churches a certain geographic area can support. <BR/><BR/>Church planting also inspires and "fires up" members of the congregation. It calls for real commitment, continued prayer, trust and a great deal of faith. Our pastor often asks us to think about this question: "What is it we can attempt that is so big that it is doomed to fail if God is not in it?" Then, when we see God working, we are reminded that it isn't that WE have achieved the impossible, it is that God was in our midst, achieving those goals and making them become realities.<BR/><BR/>Being involved in church plants has stretched our faith and just made us more enthusiastic about our God. He is doing great things, and we get to be a part of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
