Up and going
Dear IMA brethren;
Finally we are up and going with the blogsite. Hopefully, this will prove to be a greater way of communication from the IMA leadership and constituency. As you know we are featuring a page for notices and announcements so that people can find out about upcoming events. We also have a page for more immediate needs such as people who are sick, lost a loved one, or are out on ministry adventures and NEED OUR PRAYERS. Dr. Todd updates those two features and I will be manning the Chairman's Blog; so if it's your first time here, WELCOME! I believe God raised up technology to be a blessing to His church, equip his ministers, and build the Body of Christ.
To start off with today, we will focus on the minister and his/her personal spiritual needs. We know that the whole church is under attack in unprecedented ways; and guess who the main target of this attack happens to be? Your right, if you guessed the minister; because Satan and those working on the dark side realize the words of the prophets and Jesus Christ which says: "smite the shepherd and the sheep will scatter."
It's a day that leaders simply cannot compromise in any form with the sweet lullabies of this world. Personal prayer; adherence to the Scripture; connecting with like-minded ministers; and giving ourselves to the "ministry" (Acts 6:4) are all essential for us to overcome our adversary and be effective in kingdom business.
If you care to contact me, I'd be obliged to hear from you. Here are ways you can:
email: pastor@northernlightscc.org or nlcapast@cheqnet.net ; or call 715/634-3020 (you can call 24/7 as there's an answering device to take your call when I'm not there). My fax is 715/634-7373 or you can call the toll free number at the Home Office at 866/455-3471 and leave a message; they will forward it to me. Hard addresses etc. are available at the home page of our website under "contact us" so prayerfully...we can communicate! Enough options? I hope so. God bless you!
