Dear Gospel Partners,
We hope you had a grace filled Thanksgiving as you reflected on how much mercy you've received through what God has accomplished on your behalf in Jesus! It was His good pleasure to do so! Amen!
As I look at the word "Thanksgiving" right now, I'm not only thankful for God's giving of His Son for us, but I'm also thankful for you as you've given us your support this past year. By praying for us and giving generously, you've given your heart to us and for that we are extremely grateful.
It reminds me of what Paul wrote in Philippians 4:10-20. Paul said he was thankful for the Philippian church because it was the only church that entered into gospel partnership with him from the very beginning of his ministry.
In a similar way, you've made a purposeful commitment to partner with us through prayer and giving right out of the gate this past year and we're very thankful. We could not have done it without you!
In summary, this past year, our church planting journey began in Greensburg. Our core team moved into different neighborhoods throughout the city, made many new friends who have become family, and began gathering publicly for Sunday morning worship.
Now, 4TheCity is raising funds to start a ministry outpost in the heart of downtown Greensburg to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of our beautiful city.
We believe the church should share and show the transforming power of the gospel through ministry efforts that directly impact people's lives both now and for eternity.
You can help us start, sustain, and equip a ministry outpost on one of the busiest streets in downtown Greensburg as we seek to meet the many needs of people in our community.
As you can see from the pics above, this ministry outpost/building is a space that will do the following:
- Since we only have access to the building we worship in on Sundays, this space would allow us the flexibility to do more gospel ministry during the week.
- It gives us a permanent building for signage on a busy street so that people will see us as they drive by.
- It gives us a permanent space for church operations, including a mailbox rather than a P.O. box at the local post office, which gives us more credibility in the community.
- Most importantly, going back to the first point, it will allow us to pray and dream about, and then execute more gospel ministry that meets the physical and spiritual needs of those in our city.
Since today is "GivingTuesday," will you help us raise $5,000 today to cover start up costs associated with this new gospel opportunity? If so, please click on one of the buttons below to give to this opportunity; either the donate button at the top of our FB page or through our website.
We can't do it without you!
And as always, continue to pray for God's powerful work in and through us as we labor to see the gospel advance in Greensburg and to the ends of the earth!
Gospel On...
