A churchplanter’s missional influence in the lives of those “least likely to go to church”.

Prayer to avoid the fall!

June 9th, 2009 Posted in Church Planting, Leadership

I usually feel very uncomfortable asking people to pray for me, but that is rather immature and shallow. 

I found out this weekend that a fellow church-planter resigned and stepped down from his leadership role because of moral failure.  You can read it on his blog here. 

I am saddened, mad and hurt to hear about a fellow leader that has succumbed to sin and forfeited his leadership mantle.  I know that leaders have big bull’s-eye on their backs and I know that I need people praying for me in order to keep my life secure from falling into sin that could disqualify me from my leadership role in the church.  Please pray!

Check out this Open letter to Pastors!  It is a must read for all of us and especially for those that feel they are above failure!

    This is another heartbreaking event….we have family there and they’re devastated by this. My prayer is God please don’t let me be a “has-been” or “could’ve been” in the Kingdom. I’ll be praying for you.
