But if you spend a few minutes with the people, Pastor and church staff, you will recognize that God is doing something special here. But there is just a spirit that permeates the entire church of meeting people's needs and reaching them for Christ. Maybe that is why they have the other things. Pastor Mike Lee also has a heart for reaching out to other ethnic groups in the community. It was a real joy to share at the conference and in the Hope worship service on Sunday.
Church planters are in short supply.
We have more opportunities to plant churches than we have the church planters to meet them. Your intercession can make the difference. Under the leadership of Pastor Ron Smals, East Central Florida District Mission Board Chairman and Pastor at Ocala, a Church Planter Training Center was launched. The center, in cooperation with Grace Theological Seminary, will provide theological training on the Master's level. In addition, the Center will offer internships and practical church planter training for prospective church planters.
