How have you seen God working in your life?
In the work of church planting God is stripping away all forms of self-sufficiency and teaching me that he will work in his timing. I am learning to wait upon the Lord in stillness.
How have you seen God working in your family?
My children love the lord and are growing in faith and knowledge. I see a growing evangelistic zeal as well. After one of Isabelle's 6th grade classmates mentioned her cousin committed suicide Isabelle offered to pray for her. This classmate did not go to church or even know what the resurrection was about. After a video chat about homework Isabelle read Luke 24 to her.
How have you seen God working in your church?
There are people that have walked away from church now becoming excited about Jesus again. There are men asking to be part of a discipleship group. One woman suffered a tragedy, and women part of our group rallied around her. This woman is now on our launch team. Many of unbelievers have heard the gospel. One gentleman who I met doing evangelism at a park is part of our group and telling is unchurched friends and inviting them to come to Bible study.
Church Mission & Vision
Our vision is to reach the unchurched in the north part of Metro Detroit by establishing faithful gospel-centered communities where everybody knows each other's name and shares life together. In five years we hope to be about 200 in membership ready to send 50 off to plant another gospel-centered church in the metro north area.
