On the afternoon of Thursday, December 20^th, 2012, the Lord spoke to Rick Hensel. This is the message that he was given:

“Wherever you go, whatever you do, wherever you work, wherever I send you, you are to do two things: bring the Christian Community together in the Marketplace and, wherever you do that, establish a Net of Prayer underneath it.”

In obedience, the first quarterly Marketplace Ministry Luncheon took place on Friday, May 24^th of 2013. The monthly marketplace luncheon continues to this day, meeting in the large conference room of SWICKtech in New Berlin.

Over the past five years, the connections to other marketplace ministry-minded people has resulted in the expansion of that initiative, with additional monthly Marketplace Ministry luncheons currently taking place in Appleton and Sheboygan.

Rick has a desire to create new locations hosting breakfasts and luncheons across the state of Wisconsin.
