We had 17 in morning services as I preached on Spiritual Progression from Matthew 4:12-25, talking about how God wants us to repent of our sins and trust Christ for salvation, how He wants us to follow Jesus and be fishers of men.
We then had a fellowship lunch, then had a meeting to organize our youth programs for Tuesday evenings.
My goal of having a core group established by June is coming along nicely. The core is starting to emerge, but I won't declare "mission accomplished" on this step until the core becomes stronger, either by adding another family or two, or by attendance becoming more consistent.
Once the core group is established, we will then begin working toward "launch," which will be a highly publicized Sunday Service designed to make a huge impact on the Brownwood community. The core that helps us with launch will be responsible for bringing new families into the work and helping us become self-supporting by June 2011.
So, things are moving right along. While we are still on pace to meet the self-imposed deadlines on this new work, many in the mission, myself included, want to see us finish ahead of schedule. Thank you for your prayers and support.
