This weekend

This weekend we're hosting David and Billie Blessing. David is Jeanie Blessings son and a missionary on Guinea. They have a great story about their lives in Africa. I encourage everyone to invite friends and family that have a heart for the hurting and broken in the world to come and hear their stories.

We are going to be taking up an offering to support their ministry. Rather than pick a single day and making a plea to help them here's what I'd like to do: You pray about it and if God lays something on your heart put it in the offering box by October 18th. We'll write one check to cover whatever was given by that date.

One Prayer - Missions

This weekend we'll take up a special offering for One Prayer's missions effort. This is a first for us. Being newer seeker friendly coffee house style church we don't usually say much about "the offering" It's just not part of who we are. Our people support us and we have never had to do without. God has really blessed us in that regard. We have never once fallen below budget!

Once and a while an opportunity comes along that is just so awesome you cannot say no. This is one of those opportunities! Through One Prayer we are partnering with 1500 other churches and combining our resources to accomplish something special to plant and fund 500 new churches in China, Cambodia, Sudan, and India. A single church wouldn't make a dent in trying to do something so large but together we not only can but will be able to tackle this project.

The great thing about this project is that 100% of all the funds go directly to the project. How often can we say that happens!

Please pray about how you can help.
