This photo encompasses all of the aspects of this update.

Celebration Service

On Sunday, April 22, 2012, at the new Fyffe family home in Viera, FL, CrossPointe Coast met for the first time to worship the Lord in our first Celebration Service!

I want to thank YOU so much for the tremendous part that you have played in bringing our family this far in our call to church planting. You have prayed for us. You have discerned with us. You have sent us. You have provided for us. You have encouraged us. We thank Our Great God for YOU!


A note to our financial partners.

With our new partnership with CrossPointe, the way that we are gathering financial support has changed.

CrossPointe Coast

The New Fyffeshire

Fyffeshire

Our home is a very big part of our lives. I spend most of my working hours in our home. We educate our children in our home. We open our home regularly to neighbors and friends. We host community group in our home. We teach, and disciple, and lead people to see and savor Christ in our home.

We began praying about six months ago that God would provide a home in Viera that would allow us to do all of these things well. God has met our needs abundantly. Our Celebration Service was for us a sort of anointing. We truly desire that God would use our home to create worship in the hearts of all who enter into it.

Provision for CrossPointe Coast

CPCoast

We are meeting new people in Viera and Brevard County. We have had new guests at each of the recent Community Groups and at our Celebration Service. The people of CrossPointe Coast have been reaching out to their neighbors and others in the community. A number of people have expressed interest in joining us in the future. For all of these opportunities and people we rejoice. The Coast is a truly ripe harvest field.

The congregation that grows out of all of these people will ultimately be the congregation that comes together to financially support the future ministry of pointing our community to Christ. But, in the meantime, we want to shun the snare of viewing each new person at a Celebration Service or Community Group as someone who could help us meet budget.

That is where you come in. We still need to gather external funds from our friends around the nation like you in order to establish this church plant for the glory of Christ and His Gospel in this community.

If you already support our family and CrossPointe Coast financially, thank you! Please continue to pray for us!

If you are interested in joining us in financial partnership you can get more information about how to give at CPCoast.com/howtogive.


A Family Update

Titus

The Fyffe kids are thrilled to be in Viera! They are also thrilled to be church planting! Titus told me that the Celebration Service was the best church he’s ever been to. Great right?! Well … then he told me that it was short and that is what he looks for in a church.

Sadly, Eli was sick for our first Celebration Service and had to be quarantined to his room. But he preciously and faithfully made the most of the opportunity. I told him that often a church will have a few people who pray during the service for the congregation, for the leaders, and for the guests. Since we are a small and new church we hadn’t planned this in. So he decided that he would pray for us during the service. I want you to know that Eli is the best prayer partner that this church plant has! He has faithfully prayed about every single step of the journey that God has placed us on. Oh, Father, listen to the prayers of your little children!

Shaq

Yep! You saw that right! Eli was chosen to be on the All-Star Team for his basketball league and SHAQUILLE O’NEAL SHOWED UP AT HIS GAME! He (and I) was so excited!

Eliana

Eliana is very pleased to have her own queen-size room again. She struts around the house (and the Celebration Service) as though the whole things was really just all about her. She is both precious and a pain!

Solomon

Solomon just had his SIXTH birthday! He is such a little man. He has decided (much to his father’s disdain) that baseball is his favorite sport. He received a baseball bat, glove, and tee that he can’t stop playing with.

Sandy has worked hard to make our home both a haven for our family and a beachhead for the mission in Brevard County. She is the best wife and partner in ministry that a church planter could have!

The Indiana Fyffes

My brother and his family came for a visit/vacation just a few weeks before we moved. It was so good to show them our new state, our new community, our new home, and THE BEACH!

T4G

Like a good husband and father, I deserted the family just a few days after the move to Viera to go to a conference that I had planned many months back. I was blessed to be at the conference with my Dad. It was a very special time to grow together and sit under some of the best preaching we have ever heard. I highly recommend stopping by T4G.org to listen to some of the messages there.

Bill

My friend and partner in the gospel, Bill Dumphy, from Brevard County and CrossPointe Coast was also at T4G.

Watch for updates to the website at CPCoast.com in the near future.

In the meantime, you can continue to follow along with our series in the book of James at BibleTogether.com.


How to Pray ::

  • The Harvest Field :: We are praying for opportunity both for ourselves as well as the believers of CrossPointe Coast to have opportunity to reach out into our community and neighborhoods.
  • Spanish River :: We have partnered with Spanish River Church Planting Network. Sandy and I will spend this coming week at their church planting conference and expo. Pray that we will make partnerships and friendships that will carry our family through the difficult days ahead and into the harvest field.
  • Celebration and Community :: Pray for wisdom for the leadership and congregation of CrossPointe Coast as we discern when and how to gather as Community Groups, as a congregation for Celebration Services, and simply with one another and our neighbors in our neighborhoods and city.
