America’s Hidden Mission Field: Why We Need Rural Churches

I love peaching in rural New Mexico. This message by Lifeway Research needs to be read by everybody! I pray that the bigger Churches in New Mexico would help out the rural Churches in New Mexico. They could help in many ways, please reach out to them. Some need sound systems and other equipment. I would think their could be a feeder system of such things.

If I can help your church as a fill-in please contact me at pastordewey@fggam.org. The next two Sundays I am preaching in Albuquerque at Christian Fellowship Church for Pastor Eddie Howard. Please keep Pastor Eddie in your prayers for healing, thank you!

Most Christians in the United States probably wouldn’t think to send church planters to Loving County, Texas.

But according to the 2010 U.S. Congregations and Membership Study, almost nobody goes to church there. Only six of the county’s 82 residents had ties to a local congregation, according to the study, which collected data about the number of churches and regular attenders from religious groups in every county in the U.S.
