We are
just returning from a wonderful trip that took us to Oregon and Northern
California. Thank you for your prayers. It was great seeing so many
friends that we haven’t seen in a long time. It was sad to not be able to
connect with everyone though. If you missed us, maybe it is time to come visit
us in Los Angeles! We’d love that!
The
months of August and September are packed full of ministry. Please join us
in prayer for these events:
Evangel: School of Church Planting (English)
Evangel: School of Church Planting (Spanish)
Dean Training in Wichita
Chad will be teaching classes and coaching/mentoring
teams at these 3-4 day intensive schools as pastor and leaders are trained and
sent out to plant churches. The Dean Training is to get more training to be
able to expand our reach and impact in multiplying the planting of more urban
churches.
Recording of church planting videos (Spanish)
We hope these recording will give us a larger reach to
train church plant teams throughout the US and the rest of the Spanish speaking
world.
Onesimus Workshop (Long Beach, CA)
Onesimus Workshop (Moreno Valley, CA)
Working with the local church in these cities, Chad
has organized all-day training workshops where we are training representatives
from various local churches to welcome and incorporate former prisoners into
the life and ministry of the church.
City Leaders Conference
Regional Men’s Retreat
Chad will be teaching workshops at these events and
helping organize and run them. The Men’s Retreat was a powerful time for the
men at our church (as well as many other churches) last year and we hope to
bring even more men and see a greater impact this year.

Beniah’s start to

May God continue to use us to transform communities together and empower urban leaders!
