Occasional postings from a church-planting pastor whose failings pointed out his dependence of the idol of ministry success, but on whom Christ Jesus had mercy to break him, transform him and enable him to make disciples who make disciples and delight in God's glory more than anything else.

What We Should Do for Ir*n
A 4th of July note from a pastor friend in country to me and our church.
Hi Jim
I hope this mail finds you doing well.
Congregation, I hope we will have the same day (4th July) in our country in the future. I appreciate your understanding and helping me & my people in the most difficult time of our lives. My desire is to know the Lord and His will and serve Him as the Holy Spirit directs me. I am confident that you will continue to pray for me & my country. Many thanks in advance and best wishes for whatever you do in the name of Our Lord, and for the strengthening of His Church.
Yours in the Master’s service,
R**n
Most Difficult Time
This from a man who was recently jailed for no reason other than his faith and whose own father was martyred by the Isl@mic Republic.
He is a broken pastor. He asks for prayer? We pray.
Prayer is the highest and best thing we can do.
