New Environment Started!

I never get tired of getting to announce to you when we together start a new Kingdom Advancing Environment! I am glad to get to write to you today to tell you about a new church plant that will be starting in August in St. Paul. Jerry and Shelly Kragt have been discerning for the last year whether they should go back to Germany as missionaries or if God might have something different in mind for them. Through a process of discernment they have decided to stay and plant a church through Zion Evangelical Fellowship. Pastor Taye Waami and the team at Zion have been praying for years for a way to reach their English-speaking neighbors and next generation in a multicultural setting. During this last year, Jerry and Shelly have gotten to know Zion and their leaders and have realized that their dream for a multicultural church in the city matches the calling of Zion as well. The Kragts moved into St. Paul last month and will be starting the planning and team building process in August. Please pray for this new environment as they are taking their first steps towards launching this church!

God is up to something good amongst us! This is our 11th new Kingdom Advancing Environment launched since we set upon our goal to together plant 30 new environments in 10 years. Praise be to God for His faithfulness in calling new workers into the harvest field to plant new churches! If you’d like to partner with a church plant or have a church planter speak at your church let me know and I can connect you.
