Disciples Who Hear God's Voice

  The team of evangelists praying before going to the Dallas Pride Fest in 2024 Today (Saturday, June 28), a team from Wellspring will be going to the Fort Worth Pride Festival to share the gospel of Jesus with whoever will talk to us. In the past, we've gone to the Dallas Pride Festival, and we were able to stand outside, handing out free waters, Gatorades, and snacks.  This year, since the festival is smaller, there's really not a good place to set up outside, so we are trying a different approach. No waters, Gatorades, or snacks. We're just going right inside to talk to people. This is more like the regular street evangelism that we normally do, approaching people and striking up conversations. However, at the Pride Fest, there's an obvious twist. These people won't exactly be random mall-goers. They will be whoever is attending the Pride Festival for whatever reasons they decide to attend.  Please pray that we will be spiritually and physically protected.  Pleas...

  VBS season is upon us, which mean the church is coming together in a special way to pour our time and energy into building up our little ones. It's ironic that kids ministry tends to become the afterthought of many churches. Ministry to kids can seem shallow, childish, and maybe even meaningless. Certainly, it's possible to do it that way, but that's now how we do it! We understand that Satan invests time and energy into recruiting children. Satan understands that children hold great potential to be trained for Godliness or trained for darkness. Satan tries to get children to view the world through his wicked lenses, and if the church merely babysits kids until they are old enough to sit through sermons, Satan will happily move in to fill the discipleship vacuum.  At Wellspring, we recognize that kids have great potential for belief in God and encounter with Him. We believe that we can train our kids in the things of to know what is good, to reject wickedness, to embrace ...

  On Sunday, June 15, Sam Storms will be our guest preacher at Wellspring. The first time I ever heard of Sam Storms was some time back in 2010, while I was a member of a small church plant in Denton. Back in those days, Nathan Miller and I were not pastors at a church, but we had gotten swept up in leading a prayer meeting on Sunday evenings. The prayer night was not officially connected to any church, but Nathan and I eventually joined a church in Denton, and the majority of the people in the prayer meeting joined the church as well. The only catch was that the church fell somewhere between cautious about and suspicious of spiritual gifts. The prayer group, however, had begun experiencing an outpouring of many of the gifts, namely prophecy, healing, tongues, and deliverance (I know deliverance is not listed as a gift, but it tends to come as a package deal with the others).  When our group joined the church, I ended up becoming somewhat of an associate pastor of the church b...

Picture captured at a Christian event in Dallas where people testified of leaving the LGBT to follow God. During the event, we noticed a halo around the sun. Read the article here . You may have heard that Wellspring has an evangelism team that is slowly coming together. The team is a bit of a grass-roots effort at the moment, but we hope to launch it in the fall. For now, we get together once a week to go share the good news of Jesus with whoever will listen. This month, we plan to go to the Fort Worth Pride Festival on Saturday, June 28 to share the good news with anyone there who will listen. Sharing the Gospel at a Pride Festival is not a walk in the park, but it is not as hostile as you might imagine.  This will be my 4th year to do this, and one thing I've noticed is that when I approach a person and tell them I'm a Christian, I see a look on their faces, not of anger or disgust, but of fear and insecurity. When I say I'm a Christian, people tense up, expecting me to ...
