Planting a Global Church

Planting a church in another country is not a luxury bestowed upon financially "successful" ministries.

It is a command for all of us from the Resurrected Jesus Christ found in Matthew's Gospel chapter 28

8 And Jesus came and said to them, h “All authority i in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 j Go therefore and k make disciples of l all nations, j baptizing themm in [2] n the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them o to observe all that p I have commanded you. And behold, q I am with you always, to r the end of the age.”

The Rock Church has succumb to the grace of God. By God's gracious hand, We have been forced from our "land of comfort" and into the African bush.

We have needs at home. We have an unfinished building project. We have underpaid staff. We have very little in savings. But we also have a mission from God. GO MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS!

When God speaks, we choose to move. When it looks fearful, we choose to trust in Him!

I am so thankful to be a part of a church that is more concerned with The Gospel of Jesus Christ going to all the world, than their own personal comfort.

This sunday we raised another $3,500.00 to finish the construction of Rock Church Kenya.

I am told that it is the nicest church building in the region.

In less than a month it will be filled with people, and I will be preaching my guts out.

I believe that God will be glorified, Jesus will change lives, and the devil will take another beating!

For less than $10,000, we were able to buy 10 acres and build this church building where hundreds of families can worship Jesus Christ and within the next 2 years we are planning on building a High School as well. God is Soooo Good! This is a picture of a New Testament Church in action!!
