How about beginning the month of February with a bit of heart-warming joy! Take a look at Chattanooga’s church-planting scene (is it a scene?) through the eyes of Pastor Benjie Slaton and Grace + Peace.
The church-planting agency of our denomination is called Mission to North America (MNA). They have produced this video about the experience of Grace + Peace planting a body of believers during both a pandemic and a tornado.
This is an encouraging story that has unfolded in just a year in the life of Grace + Peace. Benjie remarks that the church is not about numbers, but about transformation of life and how the various connections to that transformation seen by others in the community. Can a pandemic actually become an instrument that serves the King’s will in the life of His church? Well … take a look.
