First Steps - Prayer!

Last night we had a great first gathering for those who are interested in praying for or even being a part of the church plant.  It was an incredible evening.  Pastor Ayars shared from the Great Commission and Acts 1:8 the motivation for going out and making disciples and moving outside of our community.  Joe Garofalo has conducted extensive research on the demographics of Eastern Long Island, and he presented the findings that are helping us to focus on planting in Brookhaven township.  I (Bob) challenged the group to pray, especially considering that we will be entering into "occupied territory" that is currently not being served by many God-honoring churches.  There will be opposition, and the remedy is to all commit to pray.

We then had a time of intercession, where I handed out a bookmark of some current known prayer needs for the church plant.  If you would like, you can download a copy of the bookmark to print out.  We would so appreciate your prayers.

We are encouraged by our first gathering, and trust that God will send others to pray and be used in Building His Church!
