The Need Is Critical

The Northeast is the most unchurched region of our nation and now rivals post-Christian Europe.

According to the U. S. Religious Landscape Survey of 2008 released by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, less than 5% of the population in the Northeast is connected to an evangelical church. What's just as disturbing is that for decades, most Christian organizations and para-church ministries have stayed clear of the northeast deeming it a spiritual wasteland, not worth investing time and resources. It's time to stop looking at the spiritual deadness in the Northeast and start looking to the God  who will transform it!


That's why we are launching the SENT NE Multiplication Church Planting Network! Our vision is to strategically saturate the Northeast with new churches that will possess the vision and the training to plant new churches. Our goal is to foster a movement of a minimum of 20 new churches by 2020  which will grow to over 100 churches  by 2030.


To make God's dream a reality, we must develop strong partnerships. The SENT NE Network is  the most essential partnership as we go forth because together, a network of churches sharing the same vision while possessing similar Missional DNA will be much more capable of making God's dream a reality. For the same reason, we are also partnering with the Eastern Regional Conference Churches of God in their 2020 Church Planting Initiative. http://www.2020churchplanting.com


Just as importantly, we need to partner with people like you! In history past, the great movements for Jesus and His Kingdom were not great because of networks or denominations. While they supply structure and support, it's ordinary people like you and I that God used to advance His Kingdom. So, we need your help.


You can partner with us in several different ways. First, sign up to follow our Blog. That way you can stay informed. Second, share our Blog with others that you know would would be interested in our movement. Third, become a SENT NE prayer partner. You can do that by simply emailing me at mike@lifequestcc.com and  type: add me to the SENT NE prayer partners. Next, You can financially support our network by simply checking out the advertising links. The network receives income from each link that is clicked.


Finally, if you have a desire to learn more about planting a church in our network, feel free to email me as well at Mike@lifequestcc.com. Give me your contact information and I will get back to you.

Thanks for reading my our blog. Right now my goal is to blog at least on a weekly basis. So until next time, be blessed!



Mike
