Planting Gospel Communities


A little over a year ago I attended a conference in Tacoma, Washington called Soma School. This was a week long training, both in knowledge and practice, on how to live out the mission of Jesus Christ in the every day stuff of life. Soma School was water to my soul. It put wheels on what Hope and I had been trying to do over the last 8 years. Our passion is to make disciples that can make disciples that can make disciples. 

Last September we attended the GCM Conference in Huntsville, Alabama. While Hope and I were there, one of the goals mentioned was to plant one gospel communities per every 1000 people where you live. God has laid this on our heart to help plant 50 GC's here in the Mount Dora area. We have already partnered with some friends at RLCC and have started that vision with four. As we start ours this week, we already have 2-3 couples going with us that feel called to plant GC's. We will help to equip and train them to do so.

Another area that we are looking into is becoming a hub for others to come and learn to plant GC's. In order to pursue these areas, we feel that we need to raise financial support to have more time to devote to this calling. I am working two jobs right now to bring in what we need (Empowered Parent Conferences and Serving Tables). Both of these have been wonderful opportunities to share the gospel, and I plan on continue in both. Over the next two years we are looking to raise $1500-$2000 per month. Right now we are at about $700 per month. Please pray about supporting us in this call to plant the gospel here in Central Florida.
