Chesapeake Church Plant Progress Report

Chesapeake Church Plant Progress Report

 

Let me give you a quick update on what I’m up to.  After a few months of social activities and vision presentations around the holidays, it is apparent that there is a lot of interest in the new church.  Already, people are trying to connect me with their friends in Great Bridge.  That is way cool.

 

Right now, I’ve pulled back from some of the networking activities, to focus my time on fundraising.  Trinity continues to be very generous with my time, allowing me to spend significant portions of my work day fundraising.   Here’s a quick update, the thermometer is at 45%.  Which is just shy of two years funding.   We’re eager to get to Chesapeake full-time to focus on developing the launch team and network with seekers.

 

I’m raising support in two main categories: individual and church pledges.  So far, I’ve met with all the pastors or sessions of the Tidewater churches but one.   Next week, I begin the phone calls to the Richmond churches.  The response has been fabulous. I’ve also begun meeting with individuals who may be interested in supporting this work.  The response here has been humbling, in friends generosity and giving.  So, continue to pray.  The sooner we’re funded, the sooner we move, the sooner, we begin training and meeting with unbelievers!
