"What will Happen While John Is Gone This Summer?"

This is a video of John Crabtree, the Executive Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, John Piper's church. Dr. Piper is taking, after 30 years of ministry, an 8 month sabbatical. His congregation has a lot of questions about how things will be conducted while he is gone. While many of the details (length of time gone, people who will fill in, titles, etc) are different from our situation at WBF, the overall approach to our break is eerily, perhaps supernaturally, similar to the process we have gone through in preparing for the summer. Our Elders and staff have been working diligently for 5 months now to make sure the flock at WBF is shepherded with consistency by godly men who have been equipped "for such a time as this".

Take a peek into the prayer and preparation process at Bethlehem Church and know that the Holy Spirit has led us through almost exactly the same steps:
