My Husband
My husband is called by God to be a shepherd over the flock of saints at CFC-R. Before he was ordained (and before Shepard) we had a lot of time to discuss his vision for the church and the people. My husband doesn't talk much about himself (ever!), so I cherish the talks we had back then.
Here are a few of Jason's goals for our church body:
1. Unity - He wants every person in the church to love every person in the church. He hates gossip and will do all things necessary to make sure that our people are not talking bad about each other or anyone else.
2. Worship - I could share with you some of the songs that God has given to Jason and stuff like that, but music doesn't have much to do with true worship. This is the way my husband thinks and I agree. He would love to see every person in our church body completely surrendered to God and living a life of worship as a pleasing aroma to our Lord. He yearns and dreams that the Holy Spirit will come and every person will fall to the floor without being touched and without words being said. He wants God to come to us and for the atmosphere to be so thick with the anointing that all we can do is lay at His feet.
3. We want the Lord to fill every seat in our building and we believe that he will do it this year. A few people from our prayer group have had visions of the river of life flowing through Rush County. I want to be a fisher of men. I never could bait a hook, though. I thank the Lord that in Ez 47 he said that we will cast our nets and there will be more fish than our nets could hold. Okay...this sounds more like my own goal than Jason's (but we're married, so he shares in it, right?).
These are a few of his goals. These are like his little treasures hidden in a golden box on the highest shelf way out of reach. I hope he does not mind that I shared them here. What would the church be like if we really were in unity? What would a church service be like where the presence of God is so thick that not a single person could stand. The curtain has been torn, so I pray Lord, bring it on!
