Lancaster Evangelical Free Church of Lancaster, PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

Lancaster Evangelical Free Church of Lancaster, PA writes on their website:

LEFC’s vision is to be a church that…goes together into our worlds with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Father, the “good news” is not simply that Your Son came into the world to atone for our sins.  The good news is also that Your Son came into the world to rescue Peter, Sarah, Dave, Emily, Dan, and Jennifer and every other individual who places their faith in Him.  The good news is deeply personal, an encounter people with all kinds of backgrounds have experienced with a loving God.

Victory Church, Lancaster PA

Dear Father,

You have put on my heart that churches everywhere should be publishing stories, testimonies, of Your wonderful grace in people’s lives.  I am astonished how many churches publish text on their websites that compliments that vision.  Victory Church of Lancaster PA is another example.  Their four values, according to their website, include:

Jesus Christ is relevant; Everyone has purpose; God deserves our best; Grace wins

Father, Jesus Christ is relevant to every life.  Testimonies confirm that.  Everyone has purpose. Testimonies confirm that. You deserve our best, meaning we are not to hide the story You have authored in our lives.  Grace wins.  The grace of Christ overcomes whatever adversity we experience as humans.

Dear Father,

I thank You for the wording I found on the website of Oak Hill Fellowship Church of Quarryville PA.  They write:

At Oak Hill, we believe that it is the opportunity and responsibility for every disciple is to make disciples, and that God intended that to happen through the context of the local church… After waiting in Acts 1 for the coming of the Holy Spirit, we see a group of once-terrified disciples spreading the gospel to the ends of the earth with boldness and zeal from Acts 2 on.

Bridgeway Community Church, York PA

Dear Father,

I love the tagline for Bridgeway Community Church of York, PA – “The perfect place for imperfect people”.

Throughout the years, the church in America has allowed the world to view the church as the place people who think they are perfect go to worship.  However, the church is the place where imperfect people gather, people who have experienced suffering and brokenness.  The church is the place where people who have messed up their lives go to fellowship with other people – just like themselves.

Dear Father,

I discovered this mission on the Wagontown Union Chapel website.

He will meet you right where you are.  Trust. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been and it doesn’t matter where you are. God loves you unconditionally and he will meet you right where you are.

Father, what a statement about the need for testimonies!  People experience all kinds of adversity – grief, illness, financial crisis, addiction, catastrophic loss, divorce, and more.  You meet us right where we are.  It doesn’t matter how we’ve messed up our lives, You love us unconditionally.
