I am working through the idea that a church might be planted using a different venue and in fact in writing this it seems that this would be an excellent way to do it since that opens the opportunity to raise up a leader to be the lead pastor for the church. Which would leave me open to hopefully develop more leaders and plant churches.
The ideas on the drawing board are a garage that would allow connection and ministry to other people interested in other cars. It would also help single parents and seniors who need help. Along with connecting the "car culture" people with a place to stay out of trouble.
Another idea is to start frequenting the coffee shop up the street and connect with the employees and the people that are there frequently, and begin leading people there.
A couple ideas for the neighbors is to have church at a local park pavilion, do a BBQ and maybe fantasy football for those interested on our block.
What I am praying for now and asking God for is better leadership abilities. I know in the past I have had people ask me to lead things who do not know God at all. But I want to connect with people in deep ways so they know I really do care and allow me to lead them in meaningful ways. This is what I am asking God for! To be someone God can trust people with and for people to be trusted with.
Please pray with me as I ask God to be a great leader!
