Our church is currently in a series called Hope of Nations. We are being prepared to live out our faith in America as it races fully towards a post-Christian, post-truth society. We’ve been told that western Europe is ahead of the USA in having this kind of environment. This means a great opportunity exists on both sides of the north Atlantic to live out Christ to our neighbors, and to learn new ways in reaching the citizens of the 21st century.
We have two Connection Pointe members committed to full-time ministry in post-Christian, post-truth Europe. Eric Duey is already there, in England. Jennifer Newingham is currently seeking partners to fund her ministry in Birmingham, England. She has already spent nine months there, confirming her call. Now, she is ready to return there for several years. We are a sending church for both Eric and Jenn, fully behind their call and ministry.
I’ve asked Jenn to introduce herself and her ministry. Read Jenn’s story here. I encourage you to prayerfully consider becoming a financial and prayer partner in sending her to England. Please reach out to her (jennifer.newingham@gmail.com) if God is nudging you to find out more and pursue this partnership.
Jenn, we are with you.
Til next week, Dan
Jenn’s story is beautiful! It’s a story line that begins with continually responding to God’s leading in life’s everyday events from youngster, on through her chosen (temporary) career as an educator, and then on to a firm commitment to join God as He builds His Church in Europe in a cross-cultural environment. We admire Jenn so much and love her and her story!
