Shane and Rachelle Bennett
Reformation has been blessed to be growing numerically in recent months. Pastor Shane Bennett reports, “In January, five new members were received into the rolls of the church, one of which included an adult baptism. In February I was informed by two families who have been visiting for the last several months that they wished to transfer their membership. Finally, in March I began an inquirers course that includes six individuals: three adults in two different households and three covenant children. Praise God for his steady building up of his church! We long for the day when we would be self-sustaining and able to plant other congregations as well. In January I began going into the local neighborhoods, door to door, and inviting neighbors to worship at Reformation. We plan to continue doing this once a month. One positive interaction we had came from a woman who told me she had been weeping for the nation and feeling sorry for herself. In the midst of that we knocked on the door and asked her how we could pray for her. This greatly encouraged her. We have yet to see her visit for worship, but I continue to pray for her. Pray that God would bring in the harvest and open up gospel conversations through these very ordinary meetings.”
