On this Veteran’s Day, we are reminded of the high price of freedom that we are so blessed to experience. Those brave men and women who are currently serving and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice remind us of the cost that has been paid for our protection and security. In light of this freedom we enjoy in our beloved America, I am thrilled and pleased to make you aware of the following information.
As you are already aware, Rev. Rick & (Eunice) Cox and Rev. Jeremiah & (Sarah) Gomez were approved by the CMTF (Church Multiplication Task Force) and the DBA to serve as Church Planters in the Western PA District. On, Tuesday, November 10, 2009, the CMTF granted their approval for Rick and Jeremiah to plant a church in the Pittsburgh region. Rick will be serving as the Lead Pastor and Jeremiah will be serving as the Assistant Pastor. It will be in the DNA of this new church plant that, in 3-5 years, they will daughter a church with the potential of Jeremiah serving as the Church Planting Pastor.
When contacted by Rick or Jeremiah, (or you may contact them at: Rick – 724.427.4454; Jeremiah – 717.609.7504), I trust you will invite them to share with your congregation the missional multiplication movement as it relates to the Pittsburgh Church Plant. As you pray about your Church’s involvement in this district movement, I would encourage your church to be participating in at least 3 to 5 of the “P’s” that we have set as district goals to be accomplished by 2010. Those five “P’s” being: PRAYER, PROMOTION, PUBLIC AFFIRMATION, PROVISION and PERMISSION. Pastor, don’t miss this opportunity for your church to be a blessing and be blessed!
In addition to praying for the Coxes and Gomezs, continue to be praying for Revs. Karen and Doug Rhone. The Rhones are aggressively pursing planting “The Well” in Philipsburg as a daughter church of Hyde Wesleyan.
Join with me in praying that literally thousands of lost people will find Christ and be effectively discipled in His Lordship through the missional multiplication movement of the Western PA District. We must fulfill the Great Commission in the Spirit of the Great Commandment.
Pastor’s, I firmly believe that this missional multiplication movement is a “GOD MOMENT” and a “GOD THING’ in the life of our district. To God and Him alone be all the glory and praise!
REMEMBER…BECAUSE….”THEY DID….WE WILL!”
Harvesters together,
Randy A. Swink
District Superintendent
