By Laura Tarro, church planter at Bethany Covenant Church in St. Charles, Illinois I grew up attending summer camp each year. At summer camp, I usually started with a group of strangers who, by the end of our time together, had become some of my closest friends. I never wanted those summers to end. Summer camp has become a shorthand I use to describe any gathering of people with whom I quickly develop a close affinity. Recently I had a particularly poignant summer camp type experience at a retreat for church planters.
Thank you, Laura. This felt like a breath of fresh air in the ministry world that is too often more full of hurdles and obstacles than support and encouragement, especially for women.
Dear God, Thank You for these “Good News” Planters as they plant and nurture Your Good News in the hearts of those who are searching for Your Living Water that satisfies and hydrates them. Amen, make it so!
