God’s call to the Christian Reformed Church to plant new churches that reach North Americans for Christ is a big task. It will require the dedication and sacrifice of our entire denomination. Each person has a part.
Here are some suggestions for how you might respond:
- Pray. This the first step. If you would like to receive regular prayer updates, join the Home Missions' Prayer Warriors team. It is a great opportunity to be connected with our ministries in our monthly email prayer chain. Go to www.crhm.org and click on Prayer Warriors.
- Ask. Talk with your pastor or elder. Let others in your church know that you want to do your part.
- Commit. Is God calling you to be a church planter, to join a church planting team, to be a prayer warrior, to provide financial support, to offer encouragement?
If you are a church leader, consider these “next steps”:
- Pray. Make your church’s role a prayer priority. Form a prayer team. Adopt a new church planter for intercessory prayer. Contact Jack Stulp at stulpj@crcna.org or call 800-266-2175 ext. 756.
- Contact your missions committee or church council. Challenge them to consider planting a new church in your community or sponsoring a church planter in a neighboring area.
- Talk to your Home Missions regional representative. Tell them of your church’s interest, request consultation or training, or just ask for details on how to become more involved. Contact 800-266-2175 for the name of the representative in your area.
