Dear Ignite Prayer and Fasting Partners,

​​

             To begin, I want to apologize to you for the late letter. October was a busy month and full of good things. We hosted our first in-person meeting of Multipliers Pathway, with 8 churches involved in the training along with several observers. Ignite Thriving Churches held a Leadership Seminar in Sidney, IL with one of our partner churches. We hosted a minister’s gathering in Naperville with 30+ different church leaders participating, in partnership with ITC. It was good to see God’s hand at work through our ministry and I want to thank you for praying for Ignite. With the coming of November, I thought it would be good to spend this month thanking God for the many blessings he has brought us in 2025. I thought we could use our 4 core values as a guide for giving thanks:

Prayer: We have seen many answers to prayer through the year – here are a few

• 8 churches involved in Multipliers Pathway

• 5 churches participating in the 2nd cohort of Ignite Thriving Churches

• 2 church planters on the field – Joliet region / Chicago

• 2 new international churches launched – Turkey / Iran

Planters: We are grateful for the church planters who are a part of our Ignite family

• Seth and Laura Rempel – Joliet area

• Daniel and Emma Hazel – Chicago, Ravenswood neighborhood

• James and Joy Shahabi – Farsi church planting – locally and globally

• Current planters: Todd Hancock (Mosaico), Craig Arnold (Riverstone), Dawayne Choice (Engage), Danny Cox (Lifewell), Aaron Kelso (Restore)

• Global planters: Toronto, Hungary, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey

Partners: God has blessed us with many generous and supportive partners in ministry

• Church partners – providing us with prayer and financial support

• Individual partners – choosing to give to our ministry from personal funds

Possibilities: We continue to look for more ways to start churches to bring the hope of Jesus to people

• Multipliers Pathway – Anticipating multiplication coming from the 8 churches

• Training Platform for Gen Z – A new model for raising up the next generation of leaders / planters

• Keeping our eyes open for more – I like praying Psalm 5: 3 regularly.

I want to thank you for your partnership in prayer for Ignite. As you take time to pray this month, join us in thanking God for all the blessings we have seen (with more to come). 

Have a great Thanksgiving, Lance
