We Made It!

We made it into the Launch Networks training! We officially found out via video conference call yesterday June 28th that we passed the assessment and are starting the Church Planter training in August. The training that we will be going through will be covering 12 competencies of a healthy church planter. After six months, Lord willing, we will officially be Launch Church planters.

What does all this mean?

1. We will be better equipped to plant a church in Portland, Or.
2. Launch will be a conduit for financial support
3. It will provided continual accountability and mentoring once on the field. 

What can you do?

1. Prayer! Alyssa and I covet your prayers. We realize that we have been called to an amazing task that we cannot accomplish apart from the grace of God. So please pray that God would use this training to better equip us to be church planters and the specific work that He has called us to in Portland. 
2. Support us financially. We ask that you would be in prayer about whether or not God is calling you to help support Alyssa and I financially once we move to Portland next summer. Also if you know of a church that would give me the opportunity to preach/share our heart for Portland please let me know.
3. Core team. We need a core team of people who feel called to Portland to start a church. The more people that come with us the more relationships can be made and therefore more people can hear the Gospel. So I would ask if you feel called to come to Portland, Or?
4. We need to sell our house. This is not a deal breaker as to whether or not Alyssa and I move next summer but it would be a huge plus! So please pray that God would provide a buyer for our house.

As we begin training and as things continue to progress I will post updates on the blog and Facebook.

By God's Grace,

Bo
