Why Do We Pray
Throughout our lives we may experience love, joy, pain, disappointment, rejection, peace, confusion and sometimes even being overwhelmed, but through it all, the Lord encourages us to keep fellowship with Him, and to pray. In Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) it reads, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God...
Around The Bend
Jeff Gaura leads high adventure travel tours around the world and coaches and competes on Team USA in the sport of duathlon. But even professional athletes can’t always predict what’s around the bend. Gaura was given a second chance to live after plummeting 31 feet over a bridge! On the...
As Happy As You Want to Be
Have you ever wondered, “Will I ever be happy?” John 15:11 says, “These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” We’ve got His joy on the inside of us. It’s not dependent on anything on the outside,...
You Are More Than What You Do
2020 was the hardest year of my life and it had nothing to do with a virus. As we entered our 25th year of marriage, I knew my husband, Chad, was going through some challenges. He had always been a bi-vocational minister but had stepped down from his role as...
The Season To Lead
Leadership is a topic I shied away from for many years, although I’ve held various leadership roles throughout my life.

Peace That Sustains

Patience and Seasons
“For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.” Hebrews 10:36 Patience is a character quality of God that can be developed in us as we yield to the Father. Patience is able to wait with contentment. Patience...
Discernment and Seasons
“Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.” Hosea 14:9 NIV Do we discern or perceive the season we are in? Do we understand the purpose...
Faith and Seasons
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” John 15:4 Faith is required as we navigate our seasons. Having faith involves believing, but real faith is much more than...
Seasons of Change
“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…” 2 Peter 3:18 Growth requires change. Just like the seasons of change we see in nature, God will take us through seasons of change as we grow. Change is good as we develop as individuals – spiritually,...

HELPING Church Planters Thrive
with decades of International Church Planting Experience
For almost 20 years, Jerry and Melanie Stone and their team have supported church planters worldwide with practical tools and actionable guidance, resulting in hundreds of successful church plants on almost every continent worldwide.
We have found that success is more likely when church planters have someone to talk to, share their struggles, and feel safe to ask tough questions.

From one-on-one coaching, group training, on-site workshops, and free online resources, we endeavor to meet every need church planters and pastors encounter, all backed by decades of actual, hands-on ministry experience.
