			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week I spent some time talking about church planting and praying about church planting. So I thought it would be good for us to pray about church planting. I don’t have any one city in mind, but the northeastern United States could certainly use some prayer.</p>
<p><strong><em>Pick a city other than the one you live in and ask God to:</em></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Raise up men to go there and plant sound Biblical churches.</li>
<li>Lead the church planters to the gatekeepers and to let them find favor with them.</li>
<li>Lead the church planters to the persons of peace and to be able to lead them to faith in Christ.</li>
<li>To protect them and their families spiritually, physically and emotionally.</li>
<li>Raise up an intercessory prayer team for them, their families and the churches.</li>
<li>To provide them encouragers for the rough times they will encounter.</li>
<li>For the church planters to lead people to Christ and to make disciples and train leaders.</li>
<li>For these churches to become strong and healthy and to plant other churches also.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>(36)When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (37)Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. (38)Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.”</em> (<strong>Matthew 9:36-38</strong> NIV)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>(6)No one is like You, O Lord: You are great and Your name is mighty in power. (7)Who should not revere You, O King of the nations? This is Your due. Among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like You. </em>(<strong>Jeremiah 10:6-7</strong> NIV)<em> </em></p>
<p>Trust God to do mighty things in answer to your prayers of faith. He delights to hear His children pray. Thank you for praying,</p>
<p>Bill (a fellow-laborer)</p>
<p>(<strong>Romans 15:13</strong>)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">“He who lives without prayer, he who lives with little prayer, he who seldom reads the Word, and he who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence from on high &#8212; he will be the man whose heart will become dry and barren.”</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> – C. H. Spurgeon</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;Oh! Men and brethren, that God would appear among us and do wondrous things here, as in the times of former generations.” – C. H. Spurgeon</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;There is yet very much land to be possessed, and our plea to you is: &#8216;Come over and help us&#8217; to possess it for our God and for the truth as it is in Jesus&#8230;The situation is more urgent and pressing than ever. There remain as many souls to be reached; the work has been increased in difficulty; and our time for its accomplishment is diminishing. When it is remembered, in connection with the foregoing, that a little time is necessary to fit new men for work, now is emphatically our time.&#8221; – J. A. Brunson (a missionary to Japan in the late 1800’s)</p>
