Too good!

Strong word by @tonymerida and Vance Pitman!

Unity isn’t just a sermon topic for congregants; it’s a grace to be experienced and modeled by ministry leaders.

Your Week of Prayer missionaries, Andrew Mark and Petra Adil, have been so encouraged by your words as they continue reaching Montreal, Quebec—where less than 1% of the population identifies as evangelical. 🙏 Ask God to raise up men through our internship program to equip and send. | #2026PrayerCalendar

40 minutes to the coast. 40 minutes to the nearest ski resort. About an hour to Boston. 🏙️ This beautiful city needs church planters. 📍 The metro area of Concord, NH has over 150k people, but only 45 Evangelical churches. *1 church for every 3,400 people 💡Here is why places like Concord need church planters ⬇️ Churches aren’t just gatherings of Christians. They are the missionary hub in a city. Churches not only declare the Good News of Jesus on Sundays, but they train up and send out Christians to live as everyday missionaries 👇 engaging their neighbors, co-workers, and friends with the gospel. Concord Metro is home to 154,000 people, is only 3.7% Evangelical Christian, and is in need of more missionary hubs. --- We post every week about the 50 least-reached cities in the U.S. Drop a follow so you don’t miss one! --- *Data attribution - “50 Least Reached Metro Areas” by JD Payne (Part 23/50)

The demands of ministry are plenty. If we aren’t careful, we can find ourselves drowning in the criticism and questions of others—and forgetting the grace Christ extends to us in our weakness.

Her work is often quiet, but her influence is profound. 🤍 Behind every healthy church, there is often a faithful, hardworking pastor’s wife pouring her heart into her family, her congregation, and her community. Today, let’s pause and lift up the pastors’ wives serving faithfully in our communities. Pray for her strength, peace, and joy in ministry! 🙏

It is natural for you to reach similar people, but the New Testament casts a vision for churches with a reach far beyond what is natural and comfortable — even if it means going into Judea, Samaria, and the end of the earth! Episode linked in replies!

Devotion = discipline + dependence + delight ⬇️ 1️⃣ Without discipline, devotion will be fleeting 2️⃣ Without dependence, devotion will be powerless 3️⃣ Without delight, devotion is drudgery This framework is a helpful reminder to trust, hold tight, and enjoy! *From Brandon Moore at the 2026 Replant Summit.

Yayo Espinosa and his wife, Joanna, just launched Light Community Church in Northern Virginia! 🙌 ⛪ There is a new gospel light in Virginia because of partners like you who pray, give, and send missionaries. THANK YOU!  🙏 Pray for this new congregation as they reach all nations and every generation in their growing community. | #FueledByAnnie

Churches will have different focuses due to a variety of variables: gifting, positioning, opportunity, finances, passions, etc. It’s helpful to remember that the diverse causes supported by each church are beautiful expressions of the body of Christ working together! From the newest episode of the NewChurches Podcast!

This is the smallest metro area on our list of the 50 least evangelical metro areas in America. 📍Vermillion, South Dakota. 14,967 people - Only 5.13% Evangelical Christian.

Here is the problem ⬇️ Only eleven churches. ✳️ Small towns need church planters. --- We post every week about the 50 least-reached cities in the U.S. Drop a follow so you don’t miss one! --- *Data attribution - “50 Least Reached Metro Areas” by JD Payne (Part 22/50)

Many significant moments in Jesus' ministry were “interruptions” — and Jesus was able to pause and engage because He had margin. Leave some “white space” in your calendar and watch how God uses it!

Today, by God’s grace, we commissioned our 7th church planting team. Because Jesus is the hope of the Twin Cities. We will saturate this place with his witnesses.

How do you help men in your church develop a hunger for spiritual depth? It takes patience, consistency, and a willingness to keep feeding them rich biblical truth—even when it’s an acquired taste. Check out the full article from @barnabaswpiper, linked in the @new.churches' bio!

A dwindling congregation meets a growing church plant! This story models a few important lessons ⬇️ 1️⃣ Everything we own is God’s. With this reality in mind, we live with open hands, asking Him, “How can I leverage everything You have given me to join in Your kingdom activity?” 2️⃣ Churches aren’t competition. We can accomplish much more when we work together! 3️⃣ God will provide. When you keep Jesus and His mission at the center, He will provide! 🤝 It’s incredible to see Evangelical Bible Church and Center City Church living this out!

This is King’s Church, est. September 20, 2026, a God-centered, gospel-preaching church in the central metro of the Twin Cities. Thank you, @sendnetwork! All glory be to Christ!

Disagreement is inevitable in the church. Division doesn’t have to be. Philippians 4 shows us how relationship and a shared mission can help us navigate conflict and pursue unity. Relationship + Shared Mission = Unity. --- Churches are made up of people—which is a good thing. But where people are, disagreement is inevitable. So, how do we navigate conflict without letting it divide us? --- 1️⃣ Start With the Relationship - In Philippians 4:1, Paul addresses conflict by first referring to the church as his “dearly loved and longed for brothers and sisters.” - He recognizes them as family—not enemies. They belong to one another because they first belong to Jesus. - We must learn to treat our relationships as bigger than our disagreements. 2️⃣ Both Parties Take Responsibility - Paul urges both Euodia and Syntyche to “agree in the Lord” (Phil. 4:2). - He doesn’t assign blame to one side. Instead, he calls both to pursue reconciliation. - Sometimes, the disagreement isn’t the problem. It’s what we do with the disagreement. 3️⃣ Choose Reconciliation Over Sides Paul asks a trusted partner to help these women navigate their conflict (Phil. 4:3): - not to decide who’s right - not to pick a side The goal is restored fellowship. Address conflict without creating a villain—be a helper, not a referee. 4️⃣ Remember the Shared Mission - Paul reminds them that these women had “contended for the gospel” alongside him (Phil. 4:3). - Their disagreement wasn’t the whole story. The gospel was their unifier—and their reason for walking together in the first place. - Relationship + Shared Mission = Unity. --- Your church will have disagreements. But the goal is never to create a church where nobody disagrees. It’s to cultivate a church that can stand united despite inevitable conflict. Because unity doesn’t require uniformity. --- Sometimes, we have to step into the problems of our people and help them remember what keeps our eyes on Christ instead of ourselves. --- Want to take a deeper dive?
