TWO NEW CHURCHES LAUNCH!
02/20/09 09 Filed in: Church Launch
On Sunday, February 1, two new GHC Churches officially started their services. Here are the brief reports:
The Vibe--Fullerton, California
Church Planter, Steve Brown
Houston, We Have Liftoff!
Hey All! I just wanted to check in and tell you that from all viewpoints we have a successful launch. We were praying for 200 people in attendance and that’s what we got. Holy smokes. Not sure what to expect next week but that’s up to God anyway.
If you’d like to check out our off the hook worship band and choir here’s the link: http://www.surfthevibe.com/worship.htm

Now, off to recover…

Sojourn Community Church--Greensboro, North Carolina
Church Planter, Jeff Weber
Just a note to thank you all for prayer—I really mean that. We had over 200 at our launch, many of whom have no relationship with God. We truly are in awe with what God did.
I can not say enough about the launch team either. We are having to guard people from overextending themselves! My message was taken from Matthew 11:28-30 and Amy Castor, an individual antagonistic toward the gospel shared about her new relationship with Jesus. The stories are very cool. One touched my heart of a 15 year old troubled youth hanging out with gang types who asked if he could serve in the children’s drama ministry—something touched his heart.
I was also touched by the calls and notes from people around the country that were praying for this work including leaving prayers on my voice mail during our service. Indeed the power of what transpired yesterday.
My heart is filled and I hope yours is as well at the privilege of being used and watching others finding a connection in serving our broken world.
With much wind in my sails,
Jeff
