NCCd will be a church planting church. One of the great things about the Acts 29 network is its emphasis on planting churches that reach people with the Gospel. Over the past couple of weeks I have had the pleasure of talking with Alex Early - an almost church planter! Alex is from the Newnan, GA area but is in school right now at London Theological. Alex contacted me when he saw NCCd as a GA Acts 29 church. Alex is planning to graduate in September and be working on the new church in October with weekly services launching 1 year from now.
Alex and I will stay in touch. Hopefully, since we are a step ahead of Alex and his core, we will be able to help steer them through potential problems and be a great encouragement for them. Who knows, maybe in a year we'll be able to partner with them financially as others are partnering with us!
For now - I ask that you pray for Alex and for all church planting churches as you also pray for NCCd.
Happy New Year! I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us this year.
