I’m excited about partnering with over 1200 churches worldwide to push toward Jesus’ prayer in John 17 that we all become “one”. This is the second year that WellSpring will participate in the event. The premise, pastors send in a message to a central location and “swap” during the month of June. There are many benefits to this concept… our congregations get to hear other pastors, we get to share a common theme with close to 1 million people, pastors get to see that the church can function without their preaching, we all get the feeling that something is happening that is larger than we are….
and… there is the opportunity to collectively collect money for several important needs.
We met our goal for the One Prayer 2008 mission! Last year, One Prayer churches partnered to make an eternal difference in the world through an ambitious mission initiative: planting 500 new churches in Cambodia, India, Sudan, and China in 18 months. With the funds from just one offering collected during One Prayer 2008, more than 660 churches have been planted! And we’re not done yet – that number is increasing by the day and the mission is continuing to change lives around the globe.

This is going to be a great series and opportunity to hear from God. To know that we will be on the same page as so many makes me feel as if God is going to move in an amazing way. Not that I think we can “force” God’s hand, I just believe that prayer focused that intently will be pleasing to Him. 

Let us begin praying for God to fix and ready our hearts for what He would have this series to be.
