Maybe I'm spilling the beans early, maybe not. But, if you follow this blog, I want to ask you to be praying for this.
Last week we were at the Vault Conference in Vegas, put on by Verve Church and Vince Antonucci. We have partnered with Vince & Verve since their inception. This May we'll be doing a Vault Midwest Conference One-day at The Journey. We're also taking another mission trip to Vegas in February!
On Tuesday night of the conference a number of us gathered together to talk about some ways that we could partner together. What if "relationships, not religion", what if "church for people who don't like church" could go to the most sinful places on the planet? Doesn't that sound like something Jesus would do? So, we're talking about how we can do that together. What if us, Verve, and a few other like-minded churches could link together to help start churches on Bourbon Street in New Orleans? West Hollywood? Amsterdam?
We have the opportunity to be a part of something so much bigger than just ourselves, and we have the opportunity to take our mission to a whole notha level. I am so excited about the potential of this kind of partnership.
Journey - we're just a small community of faith on the shore of Lake Michigan, but when we live surrendered to God, He can do greater things than we can ever imagine. We're just getting ready for the ride of a lifetime. Will you be a part of it?
