Week of Prayer for the Georgia Barnette Offering for Louisiana Missions

Day 4 – Still Water Church, Hammond

“…for we are laborers together with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

StillWater-pgIn 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, Paul identifies two persons, each working toward a common goal, each with a specific task; Paul planted, Apollos watered. They planted and watered because God directed; the blessings came because of the power and will of God. God is the Source, the Power that enables us to work together.

Lonnie Tucker, pastor/church planter at Still Water Church in Hammond, would agree. “God has shown himself strong in many ways through our church.” He has provided materially – a building for this church – and spiritually, giving many opportunities to win people to Christ and to disciple them. God has provided sponsorship through Woodland Park Baptist Church, a church that feels blessed because they are able to be part of making God’s glory known in the community, according to Matt Jones, youth minister.

Still Water Church, like other church plants, networks with other pastors and churches to share resources and explore ways to be more evangelistic and missional. Pastor Lonnie Tucker, like other church planters, balances pastoral responsibilities with family and a secular job – all through God’s guidance.

  • Thank God that assistance from the state missions offering enabled the purchase of their first building, a building which they have already outgrown.
  • Pray for even more opportunities to interact with the lost and unchurched which leads to time of sharing Christ.
  • Pray for awareness of God’s continued presence and guidance. Matt Jones reminds us that “the enemy doesn’t like new starts.”
