"I am a staff pastor of our church in State College,
Antioch International Church. My zone to pastor is Joshua
House and a group of about twenty 20-30 yr olds in Tyrone.
JHouse is still its own entity and I am the founder,
director, etc. but I get paid elsewhere.
Things are going better than they ever have been with
ministering and Joshua House stuff. We are seeing a
lot happen with the 6-9th graders at JHouse. And with
the gen Xers there is a church being planted in Tyrone.
Very cool stuff. We are laying the foundation for the
church, being us. It is a house church and we hope to
see many house churches established in Tyrone and beyond.
We are holding a one-day seminar this saturday for people
hearing the same trumpet and want to do something new
and on the edge. I believe there are many people in
their 20-30s ready to plant churches, they just need
to know how and have mentoring fathers that will cover
them and help them. That is where this day seminar comes
in...Networking and encouraging the releasing of the
emerging generation.
I'd love to keep in contact and hear more about how
God's moving in your area. There is a real stirring
here in the states to go 'underground' and grassroots
with church and Christianity. The Gen X'ers crave it,
but just don't know how to do it. Being the church and
doing real church beats in their spirit, now we need
to get connected to others hearing the same trumpet
and submit to apostolic fathers. Ones that will love
us and watch out for us, etc. You know what I am saying.
Ok, that's it for now, blessings.
Jim.
