Monday mornings have always been good for me. I am ready to get into planning for the Sunday to come and believe it or not, I am usually fresh despite how busy Sunday was the day before with only a few historical exceptions.
I am thrilled for our youth Canada ministry team. Last night Silas Thompson made a motion to the church at our monthly ministry meeting that our church "Partner" with the Canada Baptist Convention through 2010 to help in the process of planting a church(es) in the greater Vancouver Canada area before 2010.
Our church unanimously agreed. Woo Hoo! Now the work begins.
Here is a copy of the motion:
The "Youth Canada Ministry Team" would like to make a motion that Eastside Southern Baptist Church formally create a partnership with the Canada Southern Baptist Convention, The Point Church, Simon Fraser Community Church and Kelly and Jeanne Manire of Burnaby Canada, BC for the purpose of ministering through 'ministry and mission teams leading up to and through the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC as well as to partner in planting additional outreach ministries and or churches in the Canada Southern Baptist Convention in the greater Vancouver, BC area.
This was the awesome thing. Right after our church finished voting on the partnership, one of our members, Gen Ennis stood up and announced to us that earlier this year she had read that the Canadian Baptists were asking for people to pray for them to plant churches; she has been praying for the Canadian Baptists and now God has answered her prayer by allowing her own church to become involved in that very endeavor for which she was praying .
Be careful what you pray for Gen, you just might get more than you bargained for. Thanks for praying for the Canadians, now we can begin to pray for the Idahoans and the Canadians.
