Three years ago, my church body embarked on a mission to reach the people of North St. Louis. A business plan was laid out, with a five-year plan for fulfilling this mission: a plan that was presumed to require over a million dollars to accomplish. A couple years shy of the proposal, the mission has seen each facet of the ministry come to fruition at a fraction of the cost. The missionaries have earned the favor of the impoverished community, they have brought hope to a commercially dead area of the city, and most importantly, they have done everything for Christ's honor and glory. There is no separation between the earthly function and the heavenly purpose of the ministry, for nothing is done that is useless to the building of His Kingdom.
I wanted to share this testimony from my discipler, because it demonstrates how much God will bless the ministry of those who fully submit to His eternal purposes, even here in the United States. I look forward to ministering with my brothers and sisters in St. Louis for years to come and seeing urban areas across the U.S. restored for His glory.
