The team at AVAIL recently sat down with Daniel and Tammie Floyd — founding & Senior Pastors of Lifepoint Church in Fredericksburg, VA — to hear their story and some of the lessons they’ve learned along the way! 🙌🏾
From the new challenges of social media comparison, to the age-old pressures of balancing family and church leadership, there are countless opportunities for failure. But the biggest mistake, they would argue, is one that no one needs to make: doing ministry alone.
➡️ Check out the full article at arcchurches.com/equip! ⬅️

“Here is a principle I would like you to consider on your journey as a leader: Your most defining moment of pain can open the door to destiny.” 🙌🏽
Pastor Quovadis Marshall and his wife Angela planted Hope City Church in the fall of 2015 in their hometown of Waterloo, Iowa. Their vision is to help people know God, find community, discover purpose, and make a difference.
➡️ In this article, Quovadis reminds us that “One of the most important roles a leader has is to help people believe there is something on the other side of their pain and then to teach them how to build a bridge to get there.”

“There’s going to be moments that you want to give up. Planting a church will test your faith. Be sure that you hold onto that calling so that you never give up because you are called to make an impact.” 🙌🏽
Juan and Marisol Rodriguez were stirred to plant a life-giving church to reach the people of Puerto Rico. While both have roots in Puerto Rico, they never planned to move there until they felt an unshakeable call to Dorado, Puerto Rico. Their vision is to be a place that helps people arise from darkness and creates life-giving environments throughout their community.
➡️ Check out Arise Puerto Rico’s inspiring story to hear more about their perseverance to impact Puerto Rico and how God is using them in even greater ways than they imagined!
