God please deliver us from empty worship songs that say nothing.
We have so much to celebrate, such a Saviour to applaud & magnify, such awesome truths to reflect on & sing about together.

Planting new churches is (1) an irreplaceable way to bring unchurched people to faith, (2) an irreplaceable way to renew existing churches, (3) a crucial way to develop new Christian leaders in a city, (4) the best way to reach new generations, new immigrants, new people groups.
Heading to prayer meeting tonight. Cant wait. 730-830pm. Curate Church in MT Eden. Looking forward to when I can look back on the awesomeness of this time. Creating memories. The adventure continues. ❤️
