We can do More Together

Today I had an amazing meeting with Youth Pastors from 8 different churches around the Brandon area. We are looking at and praying through joining forces for an event in September. At the meeting I was amazed at the humility and willingness to work together to make a difference for the Kingdom of God and to reach the students of our city. I feel so blessed to work in a town where we want to see God's name lifted up and not our own name or our own church's name.

It is such a temptation to want to only grow our student ministry or our church and so we sometimes get on our own island and try to avoid other churches because of fear that our people will go there. I actually think, however, that when we lift up other ministries in prayer and work together that it will only help our own ministries.

I love in John 3:30 where John says, "He must become greater and I must become less." Let us be reminded of this in ministry. It is about Jesus and making His name known, it's not about us.
