Pentecostal Church Planters
 
.Pentecostal Church Planters

Are there any Pentecostal Church Planters on here? Or someone willing to be one?

Someone that is really sold out on the message that Peter preached.

I can't do it yet, but I would love for someone to come and help me start a house church,, not connected to any organization.

My excuses, for not yet,
First working some in my garden.
Then helping my daughter-in-law can---got my house in a mess.
And now I am on a walker.---can't clean house

I also have an older travel trailer, (that needs to be cleaned up) for someone to stay in. I only have one bedroom.

The reason that I am on a walker is my own fault. My primary care Dr. put me on 5mg of Prednisone. And as I have a slow growing kind of leukemia, my son wanted me to see his Oncologist. He mentioned that Prednisone thinned your bones and weakened your muscels.

So I stopped taking the Prednisone. 3 or 4 days later my right knee hurt so bad, that I couldn't walk without a walker. Then it dawned on me what the problem was, I started taking the Prednison again. And my knee is getting better. So I'll get with it in a few days.

Thought I would put this out there, and maybe we can start making plans.

Regarding the thin bones. My wife has had several back surgeries and still has back and neck issues. Her doctor enrolled her in a Forteo program. She has to give herself a shot in the stomach every night for two years (I think) and supposedly she will have completely rebuilt bones. Sounds to me like one of those things they later find out has some horrible side effect but I think this has been around for some time now. The cost is normally crazy. Something like $3,000 per year but they got us on a deal where it is $50 per month. A lot of money but $600 per year is a lot better than $3,000. You might want to ask your doctor about this. The leukemia might be a problem but it still would be worth asking about.

I am praying for your health and the church planting situation. I have to be honest though and if there are already good churches in your area I don't think starting another one is necessarily a good idea.

While I don't object on principle to house churches my experience has been that from a practical standpoint a lot of the Pentecostal ones are started by disgruntled people who were never happy anywhere because things were not done the way they wanted or nobody believed EXACTLY as they did so they just start their own little house church where things can be done their way.

Well, howdy, neighbor. I was raised in Indiana. Near the big city of Jeffersonville, on the Ohio. But, I'm now saved, sanctified and living in the Great State of Alabama.

Well, I'm in Texas so... lol

I hope you find fellowship in your area. do you know ANYONE in your local area who would be interested in simply fellowshipping together as Christians? Prayer, bible reading, etc?

I give you this scripture -

Act 16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

Somebody in Macedonia was praying...

No, I know of no one. I wouldn't pull anyone out of a church. I have mentioned it to a few, but no one was interested. I am praying constantly for God to lead me and help me find fellowship. I wish God would give the right person that same dream.

Hello, fellow Hoosier. I'm more up in the middle of the state. I did live for about a year in English, IN, which is close to Jeffersonville, so I know the area.

House churches are completely biblical and the church began in a upper room of a house,so it's ok.I'm a far piece from Indiana.
