New Church Plant?

[Pastor David Anthony Clarke]

I met with some folks from Living Water last night. We kicked it off with Bible study and led into a discussion as to what they desired for their lives and how being a part of the church fit into it. Later, I asked each what they wanted for their church. They all virtually said the same thing, a pastor. Duhh...

Long story short: I laid out what all I could bring to the table. I could either be "pulpit supply" and only preach and teach there and nothing else. Or, I could provide full-fledged pastoral covering with the possibility of my church embracing them as our first church plant. It seemed to excite them. They'll meet later this month and make a decision.

Now, if they want to come under our umbrella...whew. That will be completely new to our church. Although I have talked planting churches since I've been here, we have not put a strategy in black and white as to how we would do it. I'll meet with the Grove Zone at the end of the month and we'll hash out a few details because whether or not Living Water comes under our umbrella, we still need to articulate how we are going to plant churches...around the world-going back to Ghana in April. No telling what might happen this time.

I'll holla some mo lata!!! Thanks for your prayers.

I believe God will want them come your umbrella for proper pastorial care. Consider that. Who knows 'Thou art come in such a time as this'Esther 4:14

I am pleased to be brought on board. Pastor Clarke Thanks for remembring me.
I am believing God for a massive breakthrough in the ministry.

Brother Clarke, Praise the Lord. Always remember that God never gives you more than you can bear and I believe this is not the last. Keep me posted.
