Community Christian Church is up to something big… really big. In fact, something that’s fairly unheard of in a mega-church. On April 19-20, the offering collected that morning will be given away—all of it. For the past couple of months we’ve been talking about this and making preparations for a huge response from people as we’ve given them the option to join one of four teams: the Uganda Team, the Philippines Team, the East Aurora Team, and the NewThing Team.
The Ugandan Team will be using the money pledged to them to start a reproducing church in an impoverished village in Uganda that will eradicate poverty, and reproduce themselves into another village and so forth. The Philippines Team is set to do something very similar in partnership with Frontline Ministries in the Philippines. The East Aurora Team is set to do the exact same thing in East Aurora, which maintains the the highest population of Latinos outside of East L.A. It’s a highly impoverished area, and the dream is to work in partnership with Community 4:12. The NewThing Team is set to launch multiple reproducing churches around the country and throughout the world in partnership with a vast array of church planting organizations.
This is going to be an amazing experience, all with “reproducing” as the key element running through them all.
I had the opportunity this past weekend to speak at the NewThing vision dinner and share a little about my experience here at Community as well as share what we’ll be doing in San Francisco. It was one of the most exciting experiences of my life, where for the first time I was able to communicate to over 100 people, in a public setting, the dreams and visions behind The San Francisco Project. All of a sudden, this thing is getting more and more real with every passing day!
I’ll update you on the offering totals for this in a couple of weeks when the final tally is in!
