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...

Waiting

We had a great worship service yesterday with a lot of guests.  Would have been easily 100 if our regulars were there.  Exciting to see Life Church doing so well.  Also cool seeing Kenny thrive as a pastor as he walked over and visited and prayed with a neighbor who had lost her dog.

For us, we wait.  Phone could ring any time from about 6-7 churches.  There is a couple I could get really excited about, but I just want the phone to ring.  The countdown of 5 weeks and 6 days is very real.  Trying my best to hold onto God's Word and His promises and not to take matters into my own hands.  I want His will for our lives and not what I have cooked up behind the scenes.

I finished Shannon O'Dell's book on the Rural Church yesterday.  Great resource I will definitely keep and use.  Started Jon Gordon's book, Soup this morning.
