Grateful

As some of you know Alyssa and I feel called to Plant a church in Portland Oregon the least religious city in North America. God has graciously been providing for us as we move toward what He has called us to. He has placed us at The Venue an amazing faith family who is fully supportive of us and has been and continues to be a place of encouragement, community, and love. Through The Venue we learned about The Launch Network an organization that The Venue was planted through. Launch is an organization that provides training and funds for those called to plant churches. Alyssa and I are flying to Las Vegas tonight thanks to The Venue to go through Launch's Assessment process. The Assessment lasts two full days and once through they determine if you meet their criteria for being a planter. If Alyssa and I pass we will be entered into a six month training/growth plan that is customized to us for our gift sets. If we make it through the six months then we will be approved to plant a church through Launch and they will provide funds for three years and continued accountability and training.

So we ask that you join us in prayer. Pray that God would give us wisdom and discernment and that His will would be done throughout this process. Also pray that we would learn everything we can to be more effective not only in Portland but in our day to day lives.

Also be in prayer about how you can join us in this journey by going or supporting us financially.

Grace and Peace,

Bo Baker
