The Rural Church

These are the day-to-day thoughts from Pastor Jeff Lawson. I pastor a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Battle Lake, MN. This blog will hopefully help everyone who desires to pastor a church in a rural setting...

Starting Over... Again!!!

This is a picture of our new ministry. It is pretty cool starting over with a new church. Believe me, it tore my heart out to say good-bye to our church family in Hawley. I love them with all of my heart. It was time though for a change. It was best for Hawley and it was best for the Lawson's. I am very excited to hear where God leads them next!

The view here of our church was taken from the high school football field in Boone, Iowa. We have great access to the people in Boone every Friday night. Our possibilities are pretty much unlimited. I was just talking to a guy this afternoon for lunch. He is pumped up as well. My youth guy, Dan has already started to get involved with our youth group cleaning the stadium following the games.

We are moving slowly and trying to get to know everyone, but we are enthusiastic about how God is going to use us to achieve His purpose here in Boone. By the way, we cracked 100 again Sunday morning for I think now four of the five weeks I've been here. We're growing :)
