The LifeSpring Church

Welcome

January is already history! In the past month we have witnessed (among other things) via the media the devastation in Haiti! The greatest loss of life in our hemisphere occurred due to the earthquake of January 12, 2010. Of the multiplied thousands who had gone about their daily lives that warm January day, how many knew their future would be so tragically and drastically altered?

As we sat transfixed in front of our televisions and computer screens pouring over the massive amounts of up-to-the-moment news, the images before us were simply hard to comprehend. Yet, just a few days later little news is trickling out of Haiti. We've grown news weary of Haiti...or are we weary of what Haiti presently represents? We don't want to be continually faced with tragedy and loss and anarchy. We would rather enjoy the relative calmness of our lives and try to forget the images we had just seen.

Yet, we cannot! We cannot reduce ourselves and truly behave as if we had never seen the images of destruction...the crushed bodies protruding from tons of concrete...the bewildered looks on the faces of child and adult alike...the weariness on the faces of those working to save lives amidst the destruction. Will we harden our hearts? Will we continue on with our lives hoping to ignore those only a few hours away by airplane?

The Gospel we proclaim bids us not to forget but to share in their sufferings, pray for them, support them, go to them. Jesus said, "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me...." Inasmuch....

What is Simple Church?

Developed by Expectation Media, the video "What is Simple Church?" is a 30 minute presentation highlighting some of the various ways simple church is being demonstrated. Very straightforward, honest, and fresh, this video can help you gain a broader perspective of the possibilities of simple church. The attitude is refreshing and uplifting - with simple church seen as simply a different model for church - not a superior model, just different.

Many pastors and believers have been experiencing a holy frustration and have not been able to define the 'why' to the frustration. This video may help.

Floyd McClung on Discipleship

Floyd McClung is a godfather of sorts in modern missions. A leader at YWAM for years, he currently lives with his wife, Sally, in South Africa. His view on Jesus’ call to disciple making is critical to his own call. Here is his read on Jesus' model:

by Floyd on 11/15/06

And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach… Mark 3:13

Called to Be With Him – Jesus method was personal involvement. He called his disciples to be with him. Jesus disciples were distinguished by one thing, and that was being with Jesus. Jesus disciples were with hi Floyd and Sally McClung - All Nations m on trips, prayer retreats, times of worship, eating, sailing, and fishing expeditions. They were together in the deserts, cities, synagogues, homes, wedding feasts and funerals. They were with him more as a group than alone.

The Few To Reach the Many - Jesus concentrated on a few at a time so he could have greater effect on their lives. Jesus concern was not programs, but people, people who would be fathers and mothers to the multitudes. Though he had a vision for the whole world, he started by investing his life in a few men and women. We cannot accomplish the mission of Jesus or live the life of Jesus apart from the example of Jesus to select and disciple a few people.
