Bobby -
I’ll send this in an email too, but I just wanted to say thanks for mentioning my blog a few weeks ago. In addition to trying to be the lil Wayne of Christian authors, man that dude is prolific, I’m trying to be the most appreciative. (Did I just make thankfulness a competition? Dang.)

Anyway, thanks for the love and for sharing some readers with me.
Jon

Craig,

Your message at All Staff was inspiring. I was absolutely floored by the power of it. I’m so excited about One Prayer now!

I was looking at the One Prayer map and I noticed there aren’t any churches in South America that have joined One Prayer. We need to pray.

This is so awesome Craig! I am thrilled to get to be a small part of such a huge mission! Hooray for the local church! Hooray for choosing to plant 500 churches with the offering!

How do you plan on planting churches in China? And publicly?

Thanks Mark.

I’ll be sure to let the folks at Granger who are helping manage the relationships know.

bobby,
someone you may want to know as you move forward is a friend here in Tulsa who has a ministry for supporting, training pastors in those countries and more. He’s been doing this for years. His bent is on helping local pastors reach their people, without colonization.
email me if you want his info. no pressure, but a good contact who’s there half the year.

I LOVE IT! RiverPoint Church is so excited about this. We are moving into a brand new location on June 1 and going public big time on June 8 when we start One Prayer! The timing is perfect and we are PUMPED!
On the last Sunday of One Prayer our entire church is going into our city and doing missions and service projects.
Thank you Craig for your incredible leadership!

This is great! I am really looking to supporting this initiative and seeing how God will use the combined effort of churches around the world to greatly impact these areas!

Great idea. Our church is already active in both India and China by supporting works there. I have been to both locations and the need is great. If you could give some more info on the projects that would help. If there is any way I could be involved in the process please let me know.

I would covet your prayers right now. My daughter is in Chengdu China (60 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake) right now teaching and doing missions work. She is fine and the team is praying that this crisis will lead people to Christ in a mighty way

wow. this is amazing.

“We explored many great causes and organizations that we could collectively support, but the vision of local churches from around the world uniting to invest in planting churches was the most synergistic…”

very encouraging.
