Asking for Your Prayer Support

We believe God’s called our church to reach our generation so that they might become disciples of Jesus. But like in many mission fields, many of our friends, coworkers, and other social contacts have little interest in church, let alone Christianity or Jesus. Much of church as we know it feels foreign or irrelevant to them. It’s in the midst of this dilemma that God’s given us a mission.

What’s our mission? In short, to radically reshape our church into a ministry that’s truly relevant to our generation—a ministry that speaks the Gospel in their ‘language’, addresses their needs and struggles, and invites them into a community that’s attractive and meaningful to them. Just as God lovingly took on human flesh in order to save humankind, God’s calling us to lovingly bring the Gospel of Jesus to our generation in the ‘flesh’ of their culture.

This process, which will run from September ’07 thru June ’08, will challenge us to set aside our assumptions and traditional ways of doing church. All this in order to truly open ourselves to learn about our generation and to reshape our church in a way that helps them see the real relevance and necessity of Jesus in their lives. Because this is such a challenge and will only succeed with God’s help, we want to ask if you’d commit to supporting our team in prayer.
