Church Planting is cool

Thats right, it IS cool. Just think. Somewhere in the northern Mozambican bush 3 hours outside of Pemba there is a place where people can access spiritual help whereas they had not the opportunity before. That is a piece of the heart of missions; placing a pastor in a church to raise up Spirit filled believers who will in turn do the same in other places that have not a witness of Christ. To have the privledge to take part in this is just awesome, it's humbling that God would allow me to have a hand in the revival He has brought to Mozambique. He trains us so we can train others. On and on it goes till either the whole world believes, or Jesus descends from the heavens.......

Lots is happening in Mozambique. Villages are being transformed by the Gospel. We rejoice with the good, we persevere through the bad. We do not lose heart, cause Jesus has already purchased the victory. We press forward under assurance of His great and mighty promises. We are not shaken, but we shake nations. Is their any other life that satisfies? I highly doubt it. Ministry can be hard, but it's addicting. The Gospel is too good to hide from people. You do not light a lamp and then put it under a basket, you put it on a lampstand, and it gives light to all around (Matthew 5:15). You do not take what Jesus has given you and horde it to yourself, you openly display (and give) it, and the world is amazed at what He's done for you, and what He's willing to do for them. The Gospel is not exclusive. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control are all described as 'fruit' (Galatians 5:22-23). Pick the fruit from the Tree and give it to those who are hungry, for those who are longing for love, joy, peace. patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Give to all what we already have been given. For the joy set before us, we lay our lives down for those whom Jesus still calls out for.
