god watchers In the classic book Experiencing God, Henry Blackaby describes two different ways of planning: 1) Think up an idea and pray like crazy for God to bless it; or 2) Look where God is already blessing and join Him there. This is an essential, biblical principle for ministry. Jesus taught in John 5:19: “ I’m telling you this straight. The Son can’t independently do a thing, only what he sees the Father doing. What the Father does, the Son does. THE MESSAGE This is our approach at Church Doctor Ministries. We are God watchers, and for almost 40 years, we have made journeys all over the world where God is blessing the church. For the last 12 years, Church Doctor Ministries has taken church leaders from North America on powerful immersion excursions, in England and the United States, so they can see, feel, and become infected by the Spirit with the DNA of mission and revival! This is Jesus’ approach — catch what cannot be taught. We invite you to join us as we explore where God is moving, working, and blessing right here in North America! Lakepointe church LakePointe has grown from 0 to 1,000+ in worship in seven years. This is a church reaching people many churches have not reached. In past years, LakePointe has had more baptisms than any of the other 5,000 churches in the denomination, anywhere in the U.S. Your congregation will not likely become a clone of LakePointe. However, your exposure to this ministry will give you transferrable insights and principles that can be incorporated in any church. These are basic missional concepts played out in real-life ministry. The secularization of the U.S. has resulted in broken lives, dysfunctional families, unhealthy lifestyles, and a great sense of hopelessness. At LakePointe, you will see firsthand and catch new paradigms for effective church and ministry. pioneering ministries We believe LakePointe Church is yet another expression of the predicted revival that is already beginning in the U.S. Church Doctor Ministries has partnered with LakePointe for an Immersion Excursion: A learning experience in which this cutting-edge philosophy of ministry can be taught and caught.
