Testimonies of God’s work through the Praetorian Project.
September 11, 2001 changed the direction of my life. Ultimately, it has led me to devote my life’s work to making disciples of Jesus Christ in military communities. I encourage you to join me on this journey.
A season of discouragement over delayed results may be how God intends to grow us in this ever-important discipline.
There is a big hole in the church-planting world of the Praetorian Project with my late husband Clint Clifton gone–but that doesn’t mean we get to give up. What it means now is that, as a network of church planters, pastors, and families, we all have to step up, push harder, and stretch ourselves to continue the task Clint spent so much of his life doing.
After 15 years of military service, 10 moves, eight different assignments, four states, one U.S. territory, a combat deployment, and multiple short tours, I can testify to God’s sovereignty over every facet of my life – even over the military assignment system.
Each Pillar Church may have had different ideas about certain church details, but they all had one common characteristic: They were built on the unchanging Word of God.
Allow me to offer the following path as a better way to find a good church right where you are.
Suffering is part of the church planting package, but we can agree with the Psalmist that God is the strength of our heart and our portion forever (Ps. 73:26).
Any fruit in ministry is from His hand. His power is perfected in our weaknesses and that includes being a tired, over-extended mom.
Today, I had someone introduce me like this “This is Noah. His dad started the church.” I get introduced this way very often, as do many kids when their parents plant and pastor a church.
It feels unreachable to pastors. It feels horrible to young Christians living there. But it’s where Jesus wants his Gospel to go.
