Somewhat like Abram, Dustin and his wife felt called to another place without knowing quite where.Feeling moved by God, they left their newly renovated home and teaching jobs in Florida to “move to California to start a church.”There was no direction toward a specific town, so they moved to Oceanside because that was the first school system to offer his wife a job.Having landed, their prayers for further direction led them to Ryan Delameter and OCNWTR churches.Ryan offered the right kind of direction because that movement is built around very young people, mostly planting churches in coffee shops after closing time on weeknights.Upon meeting Ryan, they decided the beach might be a better place, so they and two friends lit a bonfire one Friday night, offering s'mores to anyone who might stop to listen to the guitar and worship songs.As you might imagine, they touch a broad mix of people.Disenchanted former church members mix with people bound by drugs alongside homeless people looking for free food. They've even had a couple of crazies try to physically attack Dustin.But following the Spirit has its rewards. There are now four churches spread along that stretch of beach. One meets in Malibu, though they've moved indoors. There are more, but we'll let Dustin tell you about them in the interview.The churches are called Jesus parties.One important lesson is that you can start churches with almost no funds if you think bivocationally and are willing to meet in unorthodox places. The more significant lesson is that the Spirit is moving, and excitement lies in our path if we're eager to follow.Old men have a fondness for their younger days—for me, what I encounter when I'm with Dustin and his friends takes me back to the Jesus Revolution. There is a hint of something delicious in the air that I tasted very long ago…You can follow these guys on Instagram at “jesuspartyca” or email Dustin at jesusparty@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast.

We believe that by investing in the education and empowerment of the Haitian people, we can help break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for all. Through our programs, we work to provide access to education for children and adults, building schools and providing scholarships to those in need. We also plant churches in communities across Haiti, helping to provide spiritual support and guidance to the people. Furthermore, we empower entrepreneurs by providing training and resources to help them start and grow their own businesses. We believe that by working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of the Haitian people. Join us in our mission and support Haitian Helping Hands today. Dear Sponsor, I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits in Jesus' name. I am reaching out to you today with an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of some children in need in Haiti. We have launched an initiative called "Education for All," aimed at providing quality education to underprivileged children who are currently unable to attend school due to financial constraints. We firmly believe that education is a powerful tool that can break the cycle of poverty and empower individuals to create a better future for themselves and their communities. Unfortunately, countless bright young minds around us are deprived of this basic right due to their families' limited resources. To address this pressing issue, we are seeking compassionate individuals like yourself to partner with us by contributing $60 per month. Your generous support will go directly towards covering the educational expenses of these children, including tuition fees, school supplies, and other essential resources. By investing in their education, you will not only provide these children with the necessary tools to succeed academically but also instill in them the confidence and motivation to pursue their dreams. Your monthly contribution will make a tangible difference, allowing us to expand our reach and positively impact more lives. As a valued member of our initiative, you will receive regular updates on the progress of the children you support. We believe in transparency and accountability, ensuring that your contribution is being utilized effectively to transform lives and foster a brighter future for these deserving youngsters. Joining our cause is incredibly easy. Simply click on the link provided below to visit our secure donation portal. Once there, you can set up a recurring monthly payment of $60 and become a vital part of our mission: haitianhelpinghands.org (http://haitianhelpinghands.org/) If you are unable to commit to a monthly contribution at this time, any one-time donation you can make would still be immensely valuable in our endeavor to provide education to as many children as possible. Alternatively, if you know someone who may be interested in making a difference, please feel free to forward this message to them. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change and uplift the lives of countless children. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of these children. Your support can shape their futures and enable them to realize their true potential.

In this episode, Kurt Busenitz talks about his struggle with the tension of legacy he felt when he left farming to plant churches. With a lack of vibrant, gospel-preaching churches in many rural communities in America, Kurt and Deana, with RHMA, have identified towns in need of a church plant and seek to establish a church there. Tune in to hear Kurt's inspiring story and learn more about the importance of planting churches in underserved and mostly rural communities. RHMA seeks to impact 40 unreached rural communities in the next 10 years by planning gospel proclaiming, Bible teaching, community engaging, and dynamically reproducing churches. This initiative is called “The Back 40 Unreached Initiative." In farming, the back 40 is the remote part of a farm or inaccessible part of any place, an uncultivated or undeveloped piece of land of indefinite size. Learn how you can pray for RHMA's "Back 40 Unreached Initiative."

At Genesis, we love church planting and consider the planting of new churches a significant aspect of our mission. Church planting is not easy and often the cost can be great. Yet, it is the single most effective way to reach people and their cities with the Gospel. So far in Acts, the story of Paul’s missionary efforts has been the story of Gospel proclamation and church planting. The story now has Paul coming to the city of Corinth. Corinth is a different and difficult place; an immoral city that was one of the most important seaports in the ancient world. Yet it is here that the Spirit tells Paul to remain as the church planter for a longer season. The new believers in Corinth have all sorts of challenges and struggles as they grow as disciples of Jesus, but the church became a counter culture representing Jesus to the culture in this city. Our desire is to see this story repeated often, especially in hard to reach places in our city and around the world.

Stu talks with married missionaries Jeeth and Maryanne about the great need for the Gospel in Indian villages, their ministry God For Nations, and how they were called to plant churches in India.

The book of Acts contains the amazing story of how the good news about Jesus started with a small band of people in Jerusalem, and in a few short years, ended up with followers of Jesus and churches in every key city in the Roman Empire. A key aspect of the story involves the missionary efforts of Saul of Tarsus, A.K.A., the Apostle Paul. Today’s passage gives us a quick glimpse into the missionary ministry of Paul. He goes on three great journeys traveling from town to town to preach Jesus and plant churches. This sermon will be a little different from our normal sermons as we will share a biography of this amazing servant of Jesus, and we will look at Paul’s missionary efforts around the world.
