A peek into my mailbag

From a pastor in Kenya

It is with great joy that we write you this time to thank you for the great work of the Kingdom of the Lord that you are doing. Truly God will greatly bless you and expand your ministry to reach the world with the power of His word. Your heart for seeing the souls ministered to, having obeyed the Lord's voice to see His will accomplished, the Lord will greatly reward you. Together with my prayer partners, we will commit our time to praying for you and your ministy, we will pray for your family and any other prayer request that you may want us to pray for.

Praying in New York

Dear Bill,
I want to first say, I am glad your ministry is there reaching out to the world. It is a privilege to have prayed for you and this church planting ministry. I am a young reformed Pastor in New York (we are rare). This is my first pastorate. After reading your newsletter, you stated the need in England. My prayers are with you in England and wherever God may use your ministry. Keep up the good work and I pray God will bless your ministry.

Encouraged by your website!

Dear Bro. Lollar,
Grace to you. I pray that all is well with you, yours, and the work God has called you to do. I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of and praying for you this morning. A lot has surely happened since I first found your website. . . .

I am personally doing a one-to-two year "transitional pastor" ministry at ______, and so far things are going very, very well. Again, I wanted you to know how very much your website, . . . and your personal example of sacrificial service have encouraged me. Please keep praying for us and the work here. "A great door and effectual is opened to [us] and there are many adversaries." (1 Cor. 16:9).

I am sending a copy of this note to my pastor, (who is also my 'Aquilla') that he may rejoice as well.

God bless you,
L.F. (via e-mail)

Do you offer partnerships?

Bill,
I am in the beginning stages of planting a church in _________ that will be based on reformed doctrine. A friend referred me to your web site. Does Grace Church Planting Ministries offer any partnerships to church plants and planters? I'm am with the Southern Baptist Convention, but struggle with their greater emphasis on pragmatism than theology. However, many of these pastors are my friends so I value a partnership with them. I do have a need, though, to be partnered as well with people who are more like minded theologically.

I would appreciate any information you can give me.

Will Reformed evangelicals ever unite?

Hi Bill,
Just came across your blog by a lengthy but providential route.

“Will Reformed evangelicals ever unite in the cause of world missions?”

A vitally important question Bill. If only they could divert all the time they spend debating both sides of the issues around KJV-onlyism, modern worship music, exclusive psalmody, baptism, etc on missions instead! The great need of our day is for men of God like Carey, Hudson-Taylor and those of their ilk with a passion for Jesus Christ and His gospel!

Seminarian considers church planting

Mr. Lollar,
I am currently working toward the completion of my M.Div. from __________ Seminary (USA). I am set to graduate next May (07) and I am earnestly desiring to serve the Lord through pastoral care and with that, church planting is certainly a great option. Theologically, I am a conservative evangelical, a strong Calvinist and agree with your assessment of the weak theological state within the church. I embrace strong expostional preaching as the primary means to growing and raising up churches for the glory of God and exultation of Jesus Chris.

Backyard church planter

Bill, Your advice is good advice. We are living in _______ and I have met several interesting...couples and have talked to them about their church. The couple that we have really hit it off with go to a church that is in the exact situation that I just came out of in my previous church (convulsing from challenges to reform to biblical standards) so that kinda frightens me right now....
