Entries in the life of a church planter.
So, church planters are people who go to a location, and do whatever is neccesary to get a church on the map in that place. Sometimes God provides the finances from the ministry, but often HE lets us see that HE is the provision. Last week it came in the shape of a friend needing help and returning financial help.

Monday night & Tuesday; drive to Port Sulpher Lousianna. Tuesday night; breakdown 30 miles short of destination at 11:30 p.m. / Wednesday morning 1:30 a.m.; arrive at destination, a camper parked in the shaddow of a Katrina destroyed Oil refinery... sleep till 7:00 a.m. Wednesday. Wednesday; welcome to the beautiful south golf coast, (I'm pretty sure that Port Sulpher missed the memo) 8:30 a.m. till 10:30 p.m.; load the job trailer and three trucks that needed to come back north after working on re-constructing the levies. 10:30 p.m. Wednesday; left for green Bay in Four Trucks, four divers. Arrived bay in Green Bay at noon on Saturday... Broke down or got detained 9 times on the way home. Took a thourough tour of the life of Jonah, realizing that trucking is not one of my allowed provisions for church planting.
Oh, and developed a deeper friendship with the man, (fellow pastor)who I drove down and back with.
