Hello from Indianapolis! One of the great things about being connected with Cornerstone Church is the realization that we understand that nothing of lasting value happens without prayer. That is true for each of us, our church and our movement. I want to thank so many people who have joined me in praying for God's clear direction and leadership for the movement that we area part of the Assemblies of God, during this pivotal time.

It was a great thing to see that the first meeting of this week of business and elections was a prayer meeting asking God for His grace and leadership for this critical time in the life of this movement. Dr. Tom Trask, our current General Superintendent who has served the Assemblies of God in that position for fourteen years opened the meeting. He announced about one month ago that God was leading him to step down and allow another person to come and lead. So as we gathered last evening to ask God to have his way in the selection of new leadership, it was a wonderful expression to see Dr Trask lead the prayer meeting. There was an awareness not only God's presence, but also of our need for Him to take control of this week as we elect not only our General Superintendent, but also several other key leadership positions which we will talk about later this week. We know that God will answer as we pray.

I hope that this blog will be a way to keep you connected not only this week but in the future as well. I encourage you to check it often.

Please keep praying with me and we will let you know what is happening here in Indianapolis. Thank you for making your first item of business- prayer

Together for Jesus

Pastor Mark
