It Takes Faith To Multiply Churches

 

Hello! This is Multiply a podcast to encourage church planters and Christian leaders. I am Daneille Snowden.

When we plant a church, we have faith that the first generation church will live on as it multiplies, planting even more churches.

It does take faith, as we obey the great commission command to continue to GO and make disciples!

I commend every church planter, you answered the call of God to ‘GO & MAKE DISCIPLES!’ God sees your obedience, He sees your passion to serve Him and love others by leading them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.  

It takes faith; a simple but resilient trust in God’s Call upon your lives to not only begin yet, also to continue on. The road your travel is not glamorous, but it is beautiful! The beauty is when lives are touched and changed by the salvation they experience! You are planting churches that represent souls serving Jesus. That is the fruit of your labor that will continue on as they too lead others to Christ. 

Remember in the last part of Hebrews 11:4 when it referred to Abel? It says: “…And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.”

May that be your joy and encouragement; even though we may not see a whole lot happening now; our work of faith will continue on. 

My mother (Mary Gray), was called to preach at 15 years old. In her day, there were not many woman preachers. Yet, she obeyed and started at 16 years old. Later in her life, she became seriously ill, and was not able to preach her last few years. So, she started to write, and was considered a living epistle. 

Yet, she wondered if she was making any difference simply because of her being home bound because of her illness. Yet, she trusted Jesus and continued to send out 10-20 letters a week to people. 

When she passed away, I received phone calls and letters how God used my mother to encourage them to win others to Christ. Many went into some type of ministry, including myself and my children. 

Yes, dear church planter, it takes faith to multiply churches. Faith is instilled in us from our Maker; just continue on and watch Him multiply!
