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...

The Journey Continues

My phone rang 4 times in about an hour and a half last night.  The first was a really good call concerning a strong possibility.  The former pastor confirmed that a potential church would be a very good fit for us doing what we do best with long term possibilities.  Loved what I heard.

The next call was from another church that I had been praying about and considering.  After talking to the fella from the church for a while it was obvious to both Cin and I that this was not for us.  I think the church could work for us but that is not our goal.  We are praying that God would send us to the church we both feel comfortable.  Hard saying 'No' to a church when we are four weeks and five days from being homeless, but confident that God is in control.

The next call was from a college buddy that I have not spoken to for 30 years.  It was a nice call to help him with a paper he was writing and needed a pastor's opinion.  Happy to help.

Last call was from a high school buddy that was asked to fill-in and preach this Sunday.  He had no clue as to what to preach.  I was happy to help him as well.  The Lord directed me to guide him the John 4 and talk about the Woman at the Well.  Praying for him this weekend.

My mind is not always the best after 7 PM, but it was cool to be used by God and hear from Him.  Convinced He is going to show up big time in the next couple of days.
