Change. I recently was in a church that was in a battle because of
change. It seems the room they had picked for a new prayer room did not
sit well with some old time members of the church.
Some hate change, some accept it as inevitable, some embrace it. Change
is necessary if we are going to move forward. God is into change. No He
never changes, but for His purposes to be fulfilled in each generation,
in churches, He brings about change.
The CPLN is undergoing change as well. As you will see in this issue we
are losing an important person in our ministry. Most of you didn't
notice that on the headplate of this issue, the date says March instead
of February. A change--no you did not miss your February newsletter,
like other magazines, we want to have the date reflect the arrival
slightly before the month begins, rather than at the end. (You will
still receive 12 issues in a year). A simple change.
In another month you will notice a huge change. We, along with our
parent ministry, Harvest Prayer Ministries, will have a new resource
store. Our member-only store will go away. A change. But one for the
better for you. Your membership status will bring you a 20-30% discount
on all of our more than 650 prayer products. No more flipping between
stores and only receiving your discount on some products.
As a prayer leader, I bet you long for some things to change in your
church. Keep seeking God for direction, and for His kingdom changes in
your ministry and church.
Blessings,
Jon Graf
President, CPLN
