Lots happening right now. Keep praying. Decisions that are being made now will set the direction for NineSevenZero Church for the next couple years. Pray that we will hear and have the courage to follow God’s will for us. You will probably never know the protection or the provision that was provided on our behalf while you prayed but we want you to know we appreciate your faithfulness to us and the expansion of His Kingdom in the Grand Valley.
I thank my God every time I remember you . . . because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now (Philippians 1:3,5).
Please pray as the Spirit guides you but we would also appreciate you lifting the following up in prayer this week:
Touch-Points into our Greater Community:
- Personal relationships with family, friends and coworkers: The Church is more than a building, more than a collection of programs, even more than the Sunday morning services. To those of like faith it is the Family of God and to the world it is the living testimony of God’s Eternal Kingdom breaking into time and space.
- Discipleship Groups: Still working on this. Pray for favor and opportunities to invite those we live among and work with into a deeper relationship.
- Celebrate Recovery: Launched but still working on connecting with folks in the neighborhoods around Junction Community Church. Don’t have any regulars yet.
NineSevenZero Church:
- Steve is meeting with another congregation in the valley (New Life Christian Reformed Church) that might be willing to rent us their facility for weekend services. Pray for favor and discernment in the process.
- For Kingdom minded folks to recognize the opportunity and join us in our mission by providing the funds necessary to launch NineSevenZero Church.
- For God to send co-laborers to join our planting & launch teams (Matt 9:37-38). These folks might be residents of the Grand Valley or Kingdom minded folks that would relocate here to help us launch the church. Ministry leaders and faithful/dedicated servants who will labor with us and support the launch of NineSevenZero Church
- We have postponed our Easter 2014 public launch because we have been unable to attract a worship leader for the team. This is a critical need. PLEASE PRAY for God to call someone to serve as our worship leader. A true and skilled worshipper who will train and build teams. Humble in heart with a teachable spirit and that fits the chemistry of our team and the vision of the church.
Launch Team:
- This week the team will be attending a One Day Catalyst conference in Denver. Pray for safe travel and for God to use this time together and the presenters to challenge and unite us.
Team – Personal Needs:
- Please pray for continued provision, protection and God’s favor in our community.
- The demands of establishing ourselves here, family, work and the church launch have us all at max. Please pray for strength, health and discernment in making right decisions.
