Letter to my friends

Dear Friends,

As you know, we’re in the midst of planting/launching a new church in Findlay. Here are some things that have been happening lately:

· Our team has been involved already in servant-evangelism. Last Saturday we spent the day doing yard work for a single mom, an elderly lady and two other homes that weren’t on the agenda (but were on God’s agenda J). Join us in praying that these will be seeds that are planted, will be watered and that these families recognize God's immense love for them that they might come to know Him and have a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. June 14th we'll be doing a FREE neighborhood car wash... no donations accepted. Just want to be a blessing to the ones He's called us to serve!!

· We are meeting on Sundays as a launch team where we worship together, pray, and PK brings the word. The kids have an energetic and solid program they’re doing in the basement as well!

· We are renting space from Faith Academy of Findlay who is renting the old St. Mikes’ school. There is lots of remodeling to be done and our primary responsibility has been the gym. At this point we have finished painting the stage area and are working on the main walls… It’s fantastic to know where we’ll be holding our previews, launch service and every Sunday after that! We’ve got a lot of work to be done to be ready for July 20^th, and we appreciate your prayers for this!!

While we are only meeting officially as a launch team on Sunday mornings, we are getting new visitors every week! This was not our original plan as we are following a church launch model instead of a church plant, however, who are we to stop what God is doing? He is bringing Christians who want to help connect this community to Christ!

As a church plant, a mission church if you will, we rely strongly on sponsor donations for the 1^st year. Initially we told you we were looking for a two-year commitment, but with how quickly things are moving, we anticipate that need to be cut back to being self-supported after the 1^st year. Maybe we’ll even be able to move up when we will take a group from LP Findlay and plant yet another church. The plan is to plant churches that plant churches. It is a proven effective way to reach communities for Christ!! We are blessed to be doing His work!

Here are some needs that we have. Would you prayerfully consider making a (tax-deductible) donation in the following way? You can also donate online at www.lifepointfindlay.com. Please tear off and return to LifePoint PO Box 361 Findlay, OH 45839.
