Tom and Grace Campbell from Amazing Grace Community Church in Ireland remind us of one of the God's earliest command to His people -- Multiply!
God calls His people to be stewards of His creation and there are echoes of this multiplication command in Jesus’ instruction to his followers to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Jesus is calling his disciples to multiply more disciples: to go and draw others into his Kingdom. That is our desire at Amazing Grace Community Church, and we have seen exciting multiplication over the last year. We were beginning to run out of space in our first venue, so we have moved our Sunday services to the Skibbereen GAA hall, where we now regularly have 80-100 people attending.
We have also seen God’s work in multiplying ministries at Amazing Grace. Since we have moved to our new venue, we have been able to start Sunday school for our primary school aged children. We have established a monthly kids club and a youth group for secondary school age kids. We also praise God for five people who have just been or are about to be baptised.
Multiplication in these ways has been a great blessing from God, for which we are very thankful, and with this multiplication come challenges of varying kinds. A need for more helpers and leaders within children’s ministry. A need to care for and connect with new individuals and families who have begun to attend. A need for wisdom and vision within the leadership team as we experience growth and make decisions for the life of the church. A need for God’s grace and help in all that He has entrusted to us as His stewards. We value prayer for us in all of this.
Multiplication is a gift of God in church ministry, and we trust Him for the future, that we can continue to grow in our love for Him and for those around us.
