Pastor Post

Dear church family,

 

I have a dream. I dream that there’s a Christian on every block praying for their neighbors and hosting investigative Bible studies.

I have a dream. I dream that every workplace has a Christian humbly serving their coworkers and inviting them to church.

I have a dream that every local school has Christian teachers and students sharing their faith and loving the outcast.

I have a dream that dying churches find new life through gospel preaching and humble obedience.

I have a dream that our calendars and spending reports prize Christ above all else.

I long for new churches planted.

I see young missionaries sent out to translate the Bible in a language that’s never heard the gospel.

I foresee a new generation of pastors, college students, and young parents declaring Christ is King.

New Moms and Dads will declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

I see a nation experiencing revival and renewal for Christ’s sake.

I know that jobs may be lost, relationships fractured, and martyrs shot, but I also know that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.

By God’s grace, some of this dream is already active in and among our people.

By God’s grace, Risen Hope church engages Anamosa.

By God’s grace, Bible studies grow.

By God’s grace, lives are being changed!

We’re equipping all to engage God’s call.
