Prayer Partner Update – 9/16/2013

Your prayers for us last week have been answered on many levels. The Essential – Launch church planter’s boot camp was great. Lots of helpful information, inspirational network connections, and encouragement for our hearts.  Here’s a copy of Steve’s Facebook post from this morning:

Reflecting on the gift that last week was at CMN Essential – Launch. It was so much more than the information that was imparted. Our coaches, the facilitators and the speakers are all church planters that offered meaningful challenge and compassionate encouragement. The inspiration of the Pastor Jeff Leake’s vision to plant 100 churches in 10 years (Allison Park Church, our host). The privilege to worship, pray and study with a group of mission impassioned, all-in, God called church planters. Making significant networking connections that will help us be successful as a church and personally. And one of the best parts was the three of us guys being able to spend 5 whole days together focused on what God has called us to and cementing our relationships with one another. It was a great week, a priceless gift!

Thank you so much for upholding us this past week. Your prayers were felt and evident. We absolutely know that we can not do this in our own strength and that we are dependant on your faith-full prayers. THANK YOU! Please pray as the Spirit guides you but we would also appreciate you lifting the following needs up in prayer this week:

NineSevenZero Church:

  • We are now at the point of beginning the process of funding the vision. Please pray for Kingdom minded folks to recognize the opportunity and join us in our mission by providing the funds necessary to launch NineSevenZero Church. Please also pray that we will have the courage and the discernment in how and when we make these invitations.
  • Next steps in the planting process (organization and discipleship systems).
  • Church planting coaching process (district and network). The Rocky Mountain District has appointed John Gowins to serve as our coach. Pray that God would use John to guide and challenge us. We are also looking for other church planters that are 3-5 years ahead of us in their process to also provide some coaching.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • Co-leader(s) for the Celebrate Recovery support group. A changed life who knows the difference that Christ makes and the power of His Spirit.

Team – Personal Needs:

  • Please pray for continued provision, protection and God’s favor.
  • Amanda starting a new job as a Trainer at Gold’s Gym and needing to build clientele.
  • Physical healing for Amanda’s grandfather and aunt, and Steve’s great-nephew, Hunter, who was premature but is growing and doing well.
  • All of us on the team are struggling with the demands of the workplace, family and church planting. With all the changes in our work schedules it has been even more difficult for us to find time to be together as a team. My prayer is that out of this season we will not only better understand the demands of discipleship but also how to help Christ followers be successful  in their spiritual development, with their family and relationships and at their workplace.
