GROWth

It has been a thrilling Month. We have been watching God do amazing things in our services at True North Church. God has increased our number of attendees from 39 people to nearly 70 people. 12 people have made decisions for Christ. Nearly 20 have recommitted their life to Christ, this past week alone. Wednesday night Bible Study and Prayer has doubled in attendance. We have seen a $450.00 increase per month in Missions Faith Promises. And I am believing that God's just getting started.

As excited as we are at what God is doing, I am equally excited at what God is doing in me. I know that to be an effective leader that I must grow in God. Is this growth exciting?  Yes. Is it challenging? Yes. Is it scary? Oh Yeah. That's why I have to grow.

Someone once said that it is great if you feel as though you are in over your head. Then, you'll be totally dependent on God. I am on both parts. Indeed.

To grow in God, I have become very determined and protective of my daily time in His Word. I am striving to be more disciplined and passionate in prayer. I can always do better but I must also let Christ work in me while realizing that I can't "DO" it at all. 

My prayer is that I will stay out of the Holy Spirit's way and let God be God at True North Church. It's exciting but I am keeping my eyes wide open and fixed on Jesus.
