This week, we had a wonderful time of prayer, fellowship & teaching with our network Coach, Dale Hummel. Late in the afternoon on Thursday, Dale had us spend some time in prayer asking the Lord for a picture or word for the future of our parish ministry. As I was praying, I was given a picture of Jesus in the midst of a playground full of squealing and laughing children.
Perhaps we should take it literally, I am not sure. There is a need for a playground in our area...for there are none. However, it could also be that the Lord was simply telling us that we needed to have fun with Jesus. Whatever the case, I will claim this picture and vision and be praying for God to help our leadership find ways to make it so.
