Somehow I stumbled across an article a local paper published after interviewing me about an African mission trip. Thought I'd share it and also give myself a link to the article to preserve the link. The interview was done after my first Africa visit, in 2005. The link is below. Enterprise Journal: Africa Mission Trip Posted via email from RobWestbrook.com

As a church planter and pastor in a rural area, I'm always looking for resources that relate to our unique setting. Frankly, these are few and far between. Most of the resources are geared more toward an urban setting. While some principles are universal, the urban church and the rural church are, in many ways, totally different animals. When I saw the book Transforming Church in Rural America, I got my hands on it...

I've had a hectic but very, very good week so far. The Pointe is our student ministry at LifePointe Church. This week our youth leadership put together a Summer Camp for The Pointe. We've been at Camp Armstrong, a very nice camp in the Union Co., Mississippi hills. God has awesomely moved at the camp. For myself, I've worshipped the King like I haven't in some time. We had great speakers: Troy Comer ( @TroyComer56...

The rain poured and the thunder rolled the entire service. The...

Sunday was just a really good day at LifePointe Church. Our attendance was back up to our summer average after a July 4th dive. Quite a few new faces, as well, which is always exciting.Our band increased in size, with a couple of our young ladies singing the opening song. They did a really good job with the song "Give Me Your Eyes." For the rest of our worship time, one of our guys sang backup. I love seeing...

Once again, God graced LifePointe and we had another wonderful time together. The place filled up and there were lots of new faces with us. After the service we had a young man become a new follower of Jesus Christ. There's nothing better than that!We had some special guests today. The praise band from First United Methodist Church, here in Amory, took on the role as our band this morning. Two of our guys, Jeff...

I've just added a .pdf file of all the Bible verses I used in the message last Sunday on Prayer. You can click on the links below to get all the verses from each week of the series so far. We're covering a lot of Scripture, many times very fast. I think you'll benefit from going back and spending a little more time with the passages. I hope these are useful to you.Rooted: Week 4 - Prayer Rooted: Week 3 - The...
