Interdependence in Lower Kingswood
It was a great joy at the weekend to be present at the Induction service of Jim (James) Murkett to the assistant pastorate at Lower Kingswood Evangelical Church. This was a joy not just because Jim is a good friend of mine, but because it was a great example of Interdepence in action.
Lower Kingswood is a fairly small FIEC church and could probably not support a full-time pastor on their own. However their brothers at Tollgate Evangelical Church have partnered with them in the Gospel, and Jim is to be employed between both churches, but with the congregation at Lower Kingswood as his primary focus.
We thank God for the vision and unity He has given to both churches and pray that we would see many similar schemes around the country.
