Gospel Community & Bible Together

4 Jan

BibleTogether.com

I have run a website called BibleTogether.com since the beginning of 2010. The purpose of BibleTogether is to help people read through their Bible while combating the isolation and discouragement that can often make this difficult.

This year I redesigned the site to engage with the teaching through which I am leading the church plant in Viera.

If you are looking for a way to read through the Bible and could use the encouragement of other people, and if you are looking for another way to following along with what is happening in Viera, I invite you to join us at BibleTogether.com in 2012!


A note to our financial partners.

If you contribute via the mail through First Reformed Church (not online) it would be helpful if you would download and include the following form each time you contribute :: Partner Contribution Form.

Moving into 2012 we are still short of our need for monthly financial partnerships and our reserved funds are running short as well. Please consider joining us in 2012.


Gospel Community

We have begun!

Last night we had our first gospel community (small group) gathering in Viera. We met at Peter and Paula Dribble’s home. Five couples and thirteen kids gathered. I guess we already have a thriving children’s ministry!

Hopefully two more families will join us next week. We will meet together through February and then open up the Gospel Community to our neighbors and others with whom we have developed relationships in Viera and Brevard County. It is exciting to listen to the couples share about people that will be joining us in the near future.

Truly, God has answered our prayer that we would find a place prepared by a movement of the Holy Spirit. It is our desire to draft behind what God is already doing.

If you are interested in what we are studying our first week you can either visit BibleTogether.com or download this sermon series outline.

Who says Florida isn’t a mission field? Just look at these jungles!

  • Thanksgiving for Provision :: God brought us exactly the funds that we needed to make it through the end of 2011.
  • Pray for Provision for 2012 :: We are still short of monthly commitments for 2012 and our reserves are running quite short. Pray that God will connect us with people who have a desire to reach Central Florida with the Gospel.
  • Gospel Community :: Pray for us over the next seven weeks as we build a solid foundation of the gospel in worship, discipleship and missionality among our launch families.
  • Housing in Viera :: We need to move to Viera! We desire to be there before March. Pray that God will connect us to the right people and right opportunities so that we can find a home that is ready to host guests as we establish further gospel community in Viera.
  • Our Neighbors :: We are already beginning to mourn that we will be moving away from the people we have met in our neighborhood. Pray that God will continue to use our family to build relationships and share the gospel in Orlando.
