Proposed Plant City Church Presentation Rocked!

 Oh yeah, we did well on Tuesday night and My Thinking Theologically about Ministry class is now finished.

Our “pastor” Matt did a great job explaining our vision.His PowerPoint show creatively backed up our eclectic ideas for this new (imaginary) church.

Bruce was so helpful in managing the legal side of our proposal.

I am relieved to be done with my (speaking) part, although I was more than ready with our proposal plan and brochure for all those who attended. Thanks to HR for all her genius and help with those vital documents.

Three other groups also presented their church plant proposals. I must say, these men and women have skills, enthusiasm and much talent. Their love for God is evident. I’d go to their churches.

It was also evident that the Prof, Pastor Greg Krieger, wanted to stretch us, guide us, and if need be, force us to really think about ministry. The many helpful books pointed out many different models of ministry. 

Two things sum up what I learned. . .

• Is my heart breaking for the lost? If not, pray and ask God for that. For that is ministry!
• Am I ministering out of the overflow of my relationship with God? If not, make sure a relationship with God is of daily prime importance. And don’t leave His Presence until I have heard from Him.
