Continuing to find ways to multiply!

Proverbs 6:1~We can make our plans, but the Lord gives the right answer!

Grab your beverage of choice and settle yourself in. This is gonna be a bit lengthy. But I really do want to give you the ins and outs of what God has been doing in our lives recently! So here goes…

Three years ago we had our hearts challenged with the possibility of going overseas to do some hands on tribal church planting. It was welcomed with great fear, lots of what ifs, and a few…really, God…now? moments. Actually lots of those moments! But along with it also came thoughts of amazement and wonder that God might actually want to use us to go do this thing! I felt completely like an Abraham & Sarah case. Minus the baby part of course but still…really God? We definitely wanted to walk with that type of faith! What would that look like? For us, for our kids, for our families back home, our friends, our students? It was a lot to consider and pray about!

Well as we continued to move forward truly believing God for this direction we felt He was leading in, all sorts of good things came to us! Learning to trust God more. Seeing Him become even more real to us. Especially myself! I was learning submission and trust towards Thomas. Not an easy task on my part folks! We were purposefully looking more intently at what we felt each kid needed for us to do this new life change. We did change some things. And it’s been good.

But we had some red flags. (more…)

My book will be published next month!

My book, Tipping Our Kings, will be released on Black Friday! This project kind of created itself and has been in the works for more than three years. The promo video will hopefully be out next week!

“For every believer who longs to reach someone who seems unreachable…this is the book!”        -Todd Ahrend, International Director of The Traveling Team.

Here's the front cover.

Here’s a quick synopsis:

Tipping Or Kings is the true story of Nick, a philosophy PhD (and chess champion), coming to Christ. I was barely out of my undergraduate studies in journalism, when I met Nick. Throughout our dialogue God was faithful to provide me with answers to Nick’s tough questions. Our conversation takes place over a wide range of mediums including phone conversations, Facebook chats, emails and written letters. You’ll walk with Nick through every evolutionary step of his worldview and be asked to examine your own worldview as well. You cannot passively read this book! I hope you’ll be encouraged and emboldened to see how God can truly use anyone to reach anyone.

God has shown me throughout this whole process that He is in control and that it takes the whole body of Christ working together to accomplish something like writing a book! So many people have crossed my path at the absolute perfect time to help me make it to the next step in the writing/editing/publishing/advertising process! Pray He will use this story to impact hearts and change lives!

Again, I don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but this project would not have been possible without your prayer and support! To God be the glory!

His every blessing,

Jack

Growing Churches through the next generation of tribal missionaries…

Posted by Thomas and Jennifer Freeman on Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

We are always encouraged to see the number of young people willing to take two years of their lives to specifically study in tribal missions.  Jennifer and I have always felt privileged to be a part of their training and are always excited to hear about the number of students who plan on going on in the pursuit of planting and discipling churches in least reached locations all over the world.  Their program includes…
