A year ago I was invited out to Las Vegas with these words: "You can come to Vegas, do some preaching, teaching and discipling, maybe start a few Missional Communities, all while working bivocationally as a DJ. After a year you just might pause, look around, and say, 'I think I just planted a church.'" It sounded incredible at the time, but 1 year into my time in Las Vegas this dream is becoming a reality. We are just weeks away from the launch of weekly public worship for City-Wide Redeemer - Paradise. On Christmas Eve we had 27 in attendance at our Paradise Christmas Eve Service, our first worship gathering in this part of the city. On the 23rd of this month we have a "Preview" service at the UNLV Student Union before we begin weekly public worship on February 20th. Please be in prayer for this time as it will serve as many people's introduction to us as a church. You can see the invitation below.
We are thankful to have space to meet in and many new friends here eager to help get things started. God has truly gone before us. Please pray for God's protection during this fragile stage, and that God would provide the funding to carry us through our "launch" phase. Thank you all for your continued prayers for what God is doing here.
Excited to hear about the way God is at work through you in Vegas!
