I spent today in the southern New Mexico college town of Las Cruces representing our church at the regional meeting of elders (called Presbytery). Our Presbytery covers NM, AZ, and the El Paso region; we rotate the Presbytery meetings through the different churches in the region. Today we met in a converted skating rink that is now home to Grace Covenant Church. The day-long meeting is work but it's a good kind of work. Today we:
Ensured two pastors moving into our region were biblically faithful in doctrine and life
Helped about a dozen men who are becoming pastors to better prepare for the ministry
Heard reports from border ministries, campus ministries, and church planting, then prayed for each of them
Proposed a strategy for increasing church planting and campus ministry
Prayed repeatedly and passionately for our churches, our communities, and missions
Worshipped the Lord together through Word and Sacrament
May King Jesus be honored in all we did today
