| | Ministry Opportunity/Outlet | | Saints,
Please be in prayer for me that the Lord would open up the opportunity for me to minister outside of my local church/fellowship. I believe the Lord has really been putting it on my heart lately to preach and minister to the saints on an intinerant basis.
I've had two thoughts.
One, to find a small place to rent/use for free, that I could teach out of once a month, and have some sort of ongoing conference style meeting that centers around personal discipleship and understanding the major themes of the faith.
The second thought is to contact local area churches and simply ask for the opportunity to speak from time to time, if the Lord so inclines their heart to receive me.
Of course, I'm not looking to make any money off of this. I'd gladly preach for free. I just have a great burden on my heart, and really feel this is something I should be trying to do.
Please pray for me in this regard, that God would open what God would open, and that He would shut what God would shut.
Many blessings,
Jimmy

Online! | | Re: | | Brother,
I love the idea and pray the Son of God will open the doors that no man can open. I liked the idea of you hosting some "guest" preachers from time to time at that monthly venue also. May God allow it to happen and draw saints from all different churches all over your area.

| | Re: | | Interesting you should say "go go go." When I received my call a while back a guest preacher at my Church called me out, said I had heard from God recently, and that I was to "go, go, go." Thank you for this confirmation.

| | Re: | | Well, I've identified a hotel that I would like to rent a meeting room from at. I am now just waiting to hear back from them on how much it would cost to use for two hours on a Friday night. This weekend I hope to compile a list of churches to call around and ask if I could have the chance to speak.
Thanks for praying and following up. :-)

| | Re: | | Well, the hotel wants $300 for a 2 hour setup for 40 people. Seems a little too much. But, I'm praying for direction.
