Emmaus Road

From Josh Luse, Co-Pastor Emmaus Road...

Boulder Church Plant Upate-July

Apart from me you can do nothing… jn.15.5 These words have been resonating within our hearts as we venture out into these new lands. We have thoroughly enjoyed a few different environments as a church plant team to help in our spiritual growth, fellowship, and mission. One of the highlights of our week has been Sunday nights at the Kautz’s home. As a team we have focused this time of fellowship, prayer, praise, and bible study to bond us together and equip us for the mission of taking the gospel to the Front Range. God has blessed us with a couple girls from the Denver area who have volunteered to help us with the kids over the summer. What a huge blessing they have been.

It has been so neat to hear the stories every week of how God continues to open doors for new relationship and provide conversations with the people around us. As we actively pray and seek he continues to bring people across our path to love, share our hope with.Another meaningful environment has been our life groups that meet weekly. The ladies have been meeting for prayer, accountability, and are going through Beth Moore’s Believing God study. The guys have been digging into the Psalms.

God has continued to remind us that it is not about us, and that we are only able to serve him through his power. That reminder has prompted us to spend significant time in our life groups and gatherings in prayer. Praying for each other, the people we are meeting, and the people of Boulder County we have yet to meet. It has reminded us to continue praying throughout the week, and shows us our need to be in to word and abiding in Christ daily.

Would you continue to pray for us as we seek to depend on God for opportunities and wisdom in meeting and reaching the people around us? Would you pray for boldness and love as we interact with them. Will you pray for Pastor Kris as he finishes out the SportReach Missions trip in Spain? God is at work all around us and he allows us to join Him, what a beautiful thing!How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth! ps.47.2Josh Luse/Co-PastorPS. Don’t forget you are invited to our dedication service on August 5th at 1:00pm. Contact us for more information.
