Sometimes, we go through stuff…BUT we always know Jesus is in control, so with that being said…I claim it!!
Luke 21:10-19, “Then he said to them: ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven, but before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life.’“
Today, there is a group of 48 people who will be leaving to serve in Kenya! I am so pumped for this group and it is my prayer that God will protect them as they travel, but will also wreck them as they serve.
Jump over to Dave Nimmons’ blog to get a full detail of what they will be doing while in Kenya. You can also see who is going, so you can pray for them by name.
Lastly, in the list of people you notice that there are people going from Anderson, Florence, and Greenville. I can’t wait till we have some folks from our Columbia Campus join in on future trips. You can go to the NewSpring website for details on future Kenya trips, but here is a list of the future trips coming up in 2010:

God has been doing some amazing stuff through NewSpring Church at all of our campuses. I have been so crazy with things that I have failed to write my thoughts from this past Sunday as we launched our Columbia Campus. I am planning on doing that tomorrow, yes a couple of days late, but never to late. In the meantime, check out this video of how God used NewSpring Church in Kenya to administer God’s grace to the people of the Segera Community!! Powerful!!
This desire of this post is SIMPLE! Please pray for me and my staff as we are doing everything we can to prepare for this weekend as we launch our Columbia Campus.
Honestly, as I type this it feels as my body is beginning to shut down. I have been going for a long time with little rest. My actions and pace have been unbiblical and is sin. I will have to deal with the consequences of my choices. With that being said, I would ask that you pray for me and recovery, as I feel that sickness heading my way.
I hate this for MANY reasons….
I could have possibly prevented this with adequate rest.
I saw it coming and did nothing.
It is horrible timing.
I am so excited about what God will do this Sunday and I don’t want to miss a single detail.
I don’t like feeling like this.
I am not prepared for this lack of energy.
Anyway, I would appreciate your prayers!!
Regardless, come and join us for one of our 2 services (9:15AM & 11:15AM) at our Columbia Campus! Look forward to seeing you there…I promise, I won’t hug you or breathe on you
On September 27th, we will launch the Columbia Campus. There are so many reason why I am excited about this, but I am very excited how we will start the campus. We will begin a new series at our church and this series will hit home with a lot of people and answer a lot of questions that people have. So, to launch our Columbia Campus we will launch with a series titled, “How to Survive the End of the World!” You do not want to miss this. What happens when it all comes crashing down? When the mightiest nations fall, when hope is lost, and nothing will stop the countdown to The End? Where do we turn?
Join us on September 27th for one of our two morning services (9:15AM and 11:15AM) and click here for directions to the campus. See you there!!
At this time next week, I will be filled with so much excitement and also very nervous. We are on a countdown to our LIVE launch at the NewSpring Columbia Campus. With that being said, we still have a lot of things that need to be done, so if you are in the Columbia area and want to help out in anyway, let us know! You can email me at Columbia@newspring.cc or using the contact link above. We would love to have you join us as we take care of a lot of finishing touches.
Also, we will be having a workday next Saturday from 9AM-2PM at the campus to get some of the landscaping wrapped up and put some finishing touches on the campus. Bring your rake, weedeater, shovel, gloves, leaf blower, and a bag lunch. Let us know if you can be there.
The auditorium looks awesome! It is going to be amazing, so make sure you make plans NOW to be there!!
