First Big steps

Well, Truth Baptist Church has taken its first big steps. We sat down with leaders, sought out cousel and are now well on our way. It is our hope in this time to simply seek out a prayer group. Tara and I will be seeking out people who will agree to simply pray for our ministry each day. Prayer is the greatest resource we have, and the greatest power to help. For the time being that is all we wish for is your prayers. Pray that we follow God's leading, pray that we seek godly counsel, and pray that we serve God's wants and not our own.
We will soon start our Sunday evening Bible studies and move on from there. The constant question people ask me this week is what can we do for you? How can we help you and your family? The answer is simply pray for us. C.H. Spurgeon figured it out a long time ago, this is what I long for in a church family:

C. H. Spurgeon was one of the most popular and successful preachers of Victorian England. His Metropolitan Tabernacle drew thousands each Sunday. Often hundreds would stand outside in the street hoping to catch a bit of the Baptist preacher’s message. One day a group of young seminary students came to visit the church they had heard so much about. When they entered the huge building, they were met by a gray bearded gentleman they took to be the janitor. He offered to lead them on a tour through the facilities and answer any questions they had.They walked through the sanctuary, stood in the pulpit, and looked down from the balcony. When they had seen just about everything and asked every conceivable question they could come up with, the old gentleman asked a strange question, “Would you like to see what heats this church?” They weren’t really that interested in touring the coal cellar and furnace room. But just to humor their host, they followed. They went down a narrow stairway to an area beneath the pulpit. As the gentleman opened the door, he said, “Behind this door is the secret of this great church. Everything that happens upstairs starts down here. This is where the fire in the pulpit begins.”The old man, actually Spurgeon himself, opened the door to reveal several dozen people on their knees in fervent prayer. The great preacher would always insist that the secret of any church, big or small, was the prayers of the people. It was Spurgeon who said, “I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.”
So it is simply our hope that you will pray for us in this time. We love every one of you, and know that we are praying for you as well.
First Timothy 2:1 says1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—
We love you!
