WORLD MISSIONSIn a little more than ten years, St. Paul established the Church in four provinces of the Empire, Galatia, Macedonia, Achaia and Asia. He built the Church on so firm a basis that it could live and grow in faith and in practice, that it could work out its own problems, and overcome all dangers and hindrances both from within and without.—Missionary Methods by Roland Allen pp. 6, 9

Due to the success of the work of our church plant-ing partners, networks are being formed—resulting in church planting movements expanding beyond city lim-its and even country borders. Examples are as follows:• Mexico Partnership: The ministry which was origi-nally focused on planting indigenous-led churches in Northern Mexico has expanded to all of Latin America—with San Pedro Church in Monterrey serving as the resource/training base. • Belarus Partnership: Indigenous-led churches and a seminary support 200+ house churches in multiple cities that evangelize the lost and train up new leaders—focus-ing on reaching children and youth for Christ.• China Partnership: Originally focused on four cities and utilizing US expat organizations, the Partnership has given birth to an indigenous-led network within China. Multiple cities and regions are being blessed by the min-istry through church planting and pastoral training and mentoring.• London Partnership: The mother church, New Life Masih Ghar, has been joined by New Life Suarta Sangat, and Khushkhbari Fellowship. Through funds raised by these churches’ charity shops, partnerships have been developed with church planting, discipleship, training, mercy, education, and healthcare ministries in multiple cities in southern Asia. • Germany Partnership: What began with a single church plant in Berlin, the Berlinprojekt, has grown into a network of multiple churches located in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Potsdam, and Munich with new church plants forecast for other German cities. Plans are also underway to expand the work into Switzerland and Austria, and a training hub has been established in Hamburg by the Hamburgprojekt for the purpose of training and coaching pastors and church planters from all over Europe.

It takes a great movement to reach a great city—requiring bold vision, unity, and diversity—and most importantly, the power of the Holy Spirit.—Dr. Timothy Keller

MIDWEEK MEALS: RESERVATIONS REQUIREDIn order to ensure that enough food is ordered for the midweek meals, we ask that you please make reserva-tions either online or by phone (267-1206). If your schedule fluctuates and you are uncertain that you are able to attend, it is better to make a reservation and not show up than to show up without a reservation. We don’t want to turn anyone away, but we also don’t want to run out of food for those who have followed the proper protocol and are expecting to have food to eat. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
