boot camp registration is open
Church Planter's Boot camp at Freedom Valley
The first week of November is less than 1 month away, and registration is open! You can go to www.freedomvalley.org to find the link on our home page, and register.
Penn-Del is offering scholarships for credential holders. You can pay online. After you have registered, order your boot camp materials and start the exciting journey toward planting a church.
We are encouraging church planters to bring whatever team that is being developed around you. If finances are a problem for you, call me personally (717-398-9033) for plans to help- such as a home opener to stay with, or a reduced registration fee if needed.
A few weeks ago, I did a church planting seminar for a couple of sections in the western part of the state (the sections led by Ken Martin and Christ Clark). At lunch afterward, a retired Pastor told me about "the good old days" where it was generally expected, he said that EVERY Bible college worth his salt planted a church! He said it was a standard expectation!
Ironically, those were also the days just before the Assemblies of God was named "the fastest growing denomination" in the country.
The old timer told me when he heard the seminar, that he hoped maybe it could happen again, where the AG became the aggressive church planting movement that it once was.
Maybe it could...

Kingdom synergy- boundless
This is a follow up post about the need for a church plant in the Lower Anthracite Coal Region between Hazleton and Shamokin:
I was on my way to Bethlehem today and met Todd Dewire for breakfast. He pastors the Foursquare church in Frackville. There is a young man in Teen Challenge right now who I met this weekend and he is from Todd's church.
Todd is a former missionary to Honduras, 50 years old. He has an older Pentecostal church of about 30 faithful saints, and is looking to open a church plant in the Frackville Mall. Sounds like a stretch, but his heart is right. He just needs resources.
Is this an answer to our prayers concerning the tremendous need for healthy churches in the small coal towns of this region? Is this an opportunity for selfless kingdom synergy?
I invited him to our Catalyst group since we had been on a prayer journey through that area. He will share his heart with our guys and we will pray for kingdom growth there.

I Love America!
6 different bands will be performing: Israel Houghton, Leeland, The Afters and Press Play (new band out of The Dream Center) to name a few. The fireworks presentation will be accompanied by and synchronized to the James River choir and orchestra. The live telecast and concerts will be running from 5 pm to midnight tomorrow evening, July 3rd.
Our good friend John Bongiorno is now the President of Angel Mission. He and Rory Alec (President of GodTV) will be hosting the telecast and sharing testimonies and video clips from specific water well projects in Africa and communities that have been transformed by the ministry of Angel Mission. Pastor Tourville, our superintendent, is in Springfield and they will be interviewing him and featuring our PennDel Burkina Faso project. John has invited me to be a part of the event, so I am also in Springfield and will be helping behind the scenes, hosting guests and doing interviews with the musical guest artists.
In the days ahead Shannon and I will be partnering with John and Angel Mission to help with some of their well projects and to provide music and worship training for the churches that are planted around the water wells. We will be continuing our fulltime music, worship and teaching ministry in the U.S. and the PennDel District, but will also be ramping up the missions aspect of our ministry as missionary evangelists (and representing Angel Mission to the local church). Angel Mission has expanded beyond just digging the water wells and has a strategy in place to build "Life Centers" in villages all over Africa that will help provide clean water, Living Water (through the church plants) AND many other life-changing tools - medical clinics, schools, agricultural training, etc. We're excited to be partnering with such a powerful ministry that is making a tangible difference in the lives of people around the world - both now and for eternity!
SO GO TO www.5dollarwater.com AND CLICK THROUGH SOME OF THE LINKS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ANGEL MISSION BENEFIT CONCERT - THE BANDS, THE SCHEDULE, THE I Love America EVENT, AND THE MINISTRY OFANGEL MISSION.

the offensive word in my prayer
This morning our local newspaper ran this article about my refusal to take the "offensive word" Jesus out of my prayer to open the State House as a Guest Chaplain this week. In case you-all hear about this little thing and need to defend it, here it is. I hope I have honorably defended my best friend - and represented you-all well. This was not done to sir up trouble, but to respectfully stand up for Jesus in the public square. I hope it comes off that way. -GerryLocal pastor's prayer rejected by House
Gerry Stoltzfoos is a man of faith - but not the type who preaches constantly with in-your-face theology. Even the Gettysburg church where he serves as lead pastor is designed more as a gathering hall than as a shrine full of religious imagery.
But when it comes to prayer, Stoltzfoos is steadfast in his approach of speaking directly to and addressing by name the Christian God he worships.
"I think prayer is talking to God, so when I pray, I try to talk to him," said the pastor of Freedom Valley Worship Center.
However, that principle clashed recently with a new policy of Pennsylvania's Speaker of the House, Keith McCall, D-Carbon County.
And two local legislators are speaking out against the policy - which requires the Legislature's guest chaplains to first submit their prayers in writing and then, if deemed necessary, agree to change their words to meet "non-denominational" guidelines established by McCall's staff.
That, Stoltzfoos said, was simply not something he was willing to do when instructed by a member of McCall's staff to remove the word "Jesus" from the prayer he submitted and had planned to recite at Tuesday's session.
"I feel very deeply offended by them asking me to pray but not allowing me to pray in the name of my God," Stoltzfoos said. "We seem to believe in individual freedoms, but then we cut off those freedoms when they become individual."
Stoltzfoos was invited recently by state Rep. Will Tallman, R-Reading Township,
But he complied with that request.
Then, in an e-mail, a McCall staff member said the prayer "looks good" but that the word "Jesus" cannot be used in a non-denominational prayer.
Stoltzfoos ultimately declined the invitation rather than remove the phrase "In Jesus' name" from the prayer's conclusion - the only place Jesus' name is used.
"First of all, I don't see how Jesus is denominational. The whole Christian world is called after him," he said. "I just feel like if you want me to pray, then I have to pray to the one thing I know. I only know one God personally. I only serve one God. How do I do something that dishonors him?"
The policy, however, is not an attempt to silence religious leaders but rather an effort to prevent taxpayers from having to foot the bill of a lawsuit if someone objects to a prayer's contents and chooses to sue the state, said McCall spokesman Bob Caton.
"Unfortunately, it's because states like Indiana and Ohio have been sued," Caton said. "We've followed the example that unfortunately was set in other places. We're bringing Pennsylvania's practices in line with what other states have done."
The policy - not yet three months old - requires guest chaplains to submit their prayers in writing beforehand and to omit references to specific religious figures like Jesus, Yahweh or Allah, he said.
"We ideally want to have as varied a group as possible," Caton said. "We just have them operating under these stipulations. It does come with certain guidelines that were thrust upon us basically."
Caton added that Stoltzfoos is still welcome to serve as guest chaplain "under the guidelines."
Traditionally, the office of the Speaker of the House coordinates the prayers - held, along with the Pledge of Allegiance, at the beginning of each day the House is in session.
Legislators, like Tallman, can nominate individuals to serve as guest chaplains.
Tallman said he invited Stoltzfoos because he respects him both as a man of God and for his service as president of the New Oxford Borough Council.
"He's involved, and he's always impressed me with that," Tallman said.
As for what transpired, the representative said he believes "some of the leadership is probably not respecting diversity."
"Why is somebody from the speaker's office going to pre-approve a prayer by a man of God?" Tallman asked. "They're putting themselves in a pretty interesting position there."
He also said he does not believe concerns over potential lawsuits are legitimate, though he declined to comment further as to why.
State Rep. Dan Moul, R-Conewago Township, said he too objects to the prayer policy.
"I personally don't think it's reasonable because our country was founded on Christian-Judeo beliefs. That's who started our government," Moul said. "We should never be ashamed to speak about our Christian beliefs. That's what our prayers are for."
Moul said he supports the right of legislators of all religious backgrounds to invite clergy in as guest chaplains. Legislators have the ability to leave the floor if they find the content of prayers offensive, he said.
"I am extraordinarily tired of the vast majority changing our way of life to accommodate a few," Moul said.
In his years as a legislator, Moul said he has heard a rabbi offer prayers, "and I don't understand hardly a word he says."
"That's what they believe in. That's wonderful. That's freedom. That's what we're here for," he said.
As for the lawsuit argument, Moul said simply: "Let 'em sue us."
Tallman said he plans to organize a bi-partisan group of legislators displeased with the new policy and propose an alternative that could satisfy both sides of the issue.
"We think we need to have a more balanced look at this issue," Tallman said.

HIStory...
At our meeting a couple weeks ago one point seemed to be the need for ongoing discussion. I for one would love to hear some other planters stories...where you've been...where you are...how you got there...what God's done along the way...where's He taking you...
Rich?
Gerry?
Bryan?
Anyone?
tap, tap, tap, is this thing on???

First post...
At last week's meeting Rich Earl challenged us to participate more in this blog. It's always seemed a bit disingenuous for me to do so, because as a non-reader, I don't read many blogs, so what right do I have to write and expect someone to read? ...but I digress...
Seems the best thing to point to in this first post is my experience in church planting. I did not grow up in the living church (went to mainline "social" churches as a kid). Frankly I didn't know there was such a thing until I got saved in my early 20's and began attending a home missions Assemblies of God Church. The burden of my heart almost immediately was that others in the city of Pittsburgh where I grew up would hear what Jesus has done for them.
While in Bible college in Florida during the early 80's, the Lord directed me to plant a church in McKees Rocks, an urban community just outside of Pittsburgh. After completing an internship at a home missions church in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh in 1986, and discussing the matter with my Pastor, I began to meet with Presbyter Ron Baily.
On June 7, 1989, we held our first mid-week Bible study in our home with my wife's mom, grandma and a couple people from our home church. The Lord began to bring people in and on Easter 1990, we held our first Sunday morning church service in our home, continuing to do so until 1991 when we purchased the building we currently still occupy. I quit my secular job and the church became General Council Affiliated in 1993. It's been an amazing 20 years with significant ups and downs, but God continues to prove Himself faithful.
In 1999, after a couple years of discussion, a man in our church stepped out to do a mid-week study in his home with an eye toward planting. Having personally been to a Church Planters' Boot Camp and seeing the value of it, we made arrangements for him to go. In spite of several years of slogging it out, the plant effort failed. Thankfully, the man did not and is serving as a Deacon today, looking forward to another shot in due season. Since that failure the Lord has unearthed and dealt with some things in my brother which would have potentially been destructive had the plant succeeded...can anyone see God's grace?
While serving on the Sectional Committee in January of 2005, we were informed that the Pastor of Brookline Assembly of God (in Pittsburgh) was leaving. The church had been home missions for a number of years, first as an incredibly successful children's outreach ministry under Karey Schaffer, then struggling to continue as a community church after Karey left, in spite of the new Pastor's best efforts. In March of that year the Lord directed me to assume responsibility for the church as a sister church to McKees Rocks. He gave me a plan which was presented to the Sectional Committee, my own Board, as well as the membership of McKees Rocks, with unanimous approval. McKees Rocks had 40 active members and was living week to week...
God had raised up a man to be our Associate Pastor and we installed him in 2004. We couldn't pay him and based on constituency didn't need an Associate, but God knew what was coming in 2005. Mike Russell was installed as the Pastor at Brookline in 2007 where he remains in a bi-vocational role. The church continues to slowly move forward under his leadership and the oversight of our Board. We share several combined services a year, alternating preaching. We also do pulpit exchange a several times a year. We also believe God wants to use us to rescue and/or plant more in the future. Losing such a key man and his family from such a small congregation seems suicidal from a human perspective. Yet because God ordained it, McKees Rocks is moving forward as new folks come in and others are stepping up.

Coal Region Prayer Journey
The group began by driving down Rte 61 through the small coal cities of Mt Carmel and then Centralia (the town that is burning underground) and onto Ashland, Girardville, Shenandoah, Mahanoy City, and Gilberton and ended in Frackville, where we ate and talked over the journey. Population in just these towns totals over 40,000, including the small patches of homes in between. Add in the surrounding communities and the population reaches 60,000 or more, with nary a growing church in sight.
In one city of just 8,000 we saw 8 Roman Catholic churches, most of which have been closed. In another town we saw 12 churches of all denominations, 8 of which have been closed.
We will continue to seek the Lord, asking Him to send a team to plant a church or two in this area. It will take extraordinary commitment and wisdom to do so effectively. The need is great and the Lord loves the people of the coal region. Would you pray with us?
Luke 10:2 Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

Crosses burned in Shamokin
(The following was presented for publication as a letter to the editor after a recent cross burning incident in Shamokin)
That heritage is being threatened, if the most recent reports of cross burnings on a local culm bank prove true. The recent influx of African-Americans and Latinos has caused anxiety, and some appear to be taking matters into their own hands. That has never worked too well here in America, as we continue to live down our history of lynchings, the KKK shenanigans, Jim Crow laws and more. We had a short spell of skinhead activity in our area in the late 90's that produced nothing good.
This should be a wakeup call especially for the church. It was crosses that they burned! That is an affront to God and to His church. We are in a battle for our community. If we fail to be salt and light then the darkness will prevail, whether it is coming from intruding gang members, or from an angry native populace. We must be vigilant in prayer as well as good works and vocal opposition to evil.
The church must break loose from the paralyzing delusion that nothing has changed. Many churches continue to function as they did 50 years ago without recognizing that the local culture has been in a death spiral. If we do not actively engage everyone who will listen with the life changing message of Jesus Christ then the church in this community will become more and more irrelevant with each passing year.
Matthew 5:13-16 (MSG)
"Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. "Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

Road trip to a forgotten place
The primary purpose of the Catalyst movement is to reproduce and plant churches. Having been in the Lower Anthracite Coal Region for 11 years, I have become aware of a spiritual vacuum in the area between Shamokin and Hazleton.This area is filled with many small coal villages that have been deteriorating for decades. Places like Ringtown, Sheppton, Ashland, Frackville, Shenandoah, Mahanoy City, Hometown and Gilberton. They constitute a forgotten region, but are still populated with tens of thousands of souls. My research indicates that the Pentecostal witness in these towns in almost non-existent, and the church as a whole there is desperately ineffective in presenting the Gospel. The darkness and misery are almost palpable. Our hearts should ache with missionary zeal for these folks.
I recently received a call from a Christian man in one of these towns (Macedonia?) on an unrelated matter. When he realized I was a Pentecostal pastor he began to share his frustration in being unable to find a healthy spirit-filled church anywhere near his home. I knew of some good churches, but they were at least a half hour away. He and his wife are disabled.
Our Catalyst group will be taking a road trip through this region in May. We'll be piling into our church van to chase a dream that God would send someone to break some new and difficult ground. The purpose of the trip is to birth vision and hear from God as we pray and take in the view. We will see abandoned coal structures, blighted cities, and we may even see a place that is literally burning underground (Centralia). We will engage the people and begin a conversation to get a sense of the cost involved to break the stronghold there. Darkness retreats when faced with the light.
Resources, human and otherwise, are hard to come by in these parts. The brain drain that Pennsylvania has experienced for the past decade or two began here in the 1960's. The outlook is bleak and a church planter looking for obviously fertile ground will not find it here. Breaking through will involve toil, commitment, sacrifice and wisdom.
We tend to see white harvest fields where the population trends are moving up. I wonder is that what God sees? I am of the opinion that God delights to show Himself in such places. Where is the light more appreciated than in a desperately dark place.
I am pleased that Rodney Murphy in Hazleton shares this burden and will be joining us on this trip. He attends another Catalyst group and his church is located on the other side of this forgotten region. We seek a partnership and are asking God to send a team to discover and break the missional code for this part of the coal region. I will update this blog when we return from the trip.

Rick Warren Invocation
Pastor Rick Warren gave the invocation at President Obama's inauguration. As we pray for our new president, may God give him "the wisdom to lead us with humility, the courage to lead us with integrity, the compassion to lead us with generosity."
Here is the full prayer:
Almighty God -- our Father. Everything we see, and everything we can’t see, exists because of you alone. It all comes from you. It all belongs to you. It all exists for your glory. History is your story. The Scripture tells us, ‘Hear, Oh Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one.’ And you are the compassionate and merciful one. And you are loving to everyone you have made.
Now today we rejoice not only in America’s peaceful transfer of power for the 44th time, we celebrate a hinge-point of history with the inauguration of our first African-American president of the United States. We are so grateful to live in this land, a land of unequaled possibility, where the son of an African immigrant can rise to the highest level of our leadership. And we know today that Dr. King, and a great cloud of witnesses, are shouting in heaven.
Give to our new president, Barack Obama, the wisdom to lead us with humility, the courage to lead us with integrity, the compassion to lead us with generosity. Bless and protect him, his family, Vice-President Biden, the cabinet, and every one of our freely elected leaders.
Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans, united not by race, or religion, or blood, but to our commitment to freedom, and justice for all.
When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us. When we presume that our greatness and our prosperity is ours alone, forgive us. When we fail to treat our fellow human beings and all the earth with the respect that they deserve, forgive us.
And as we face these difficult days ahead, may we have a new birth of clarity in our aims, responsibility in our actions, humility in our approaches, and civility in our attitudes -- even when we differ.
Help us to share, to serve, and to seek the common good of all. May all people of good will today join together to work for a more just, a more healthy, and a more prosperous nation, and a peaceful planet. And may we never forget that one day, all nations and all people will stand accountable before you.
We now commit our new president, and his wife Michelle, and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, into your loving care.
I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life -- Yeshua, Isa, Jesús, Jesus -- who taught us to pray:
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
