4 week update

Monday, October 13, 2008

Yes I know, I have been really bad about blogging lately. It is not because I have nothing to write about or that there is nothing happening in my life worth blogging, I just needed a break from the routine of blogging for the sake of saying... there you go, I have blog today. I know in the blog world, that is not cool.

Either way, here is my 4 week blog update.

The BIG announcement, we are co-pastoring, with Gaby and Karina Gil, a new church plant here in Doral. The name of the church is 180 Church. Currently it is a Spanish work, with hopes that eventually we would be a better representation of our community and go to some format of Bilingual (Spanish/English). We are still uncertain of what that would look like, but I'm sure we will figure it out.

We have a location we are renting at 1900 NW 84th Ave in Doral. We are meeting every Sunday at 11:00am. This weekend, in only our second week, we had 50 in attendance. If you have any questions, please give us a call at 786.394.3686. We are excited about reaching this community for Christ.

We have several Starbucks events scheduled for November and December. We are praying and believing to grow to 200 people by the end of the year. Our vision states our purpose clearly, and it is:

"Leading people to redirect their lives towards Christ"

"Dirigiendo a las personas a un cambio hacia Cristo"


In case your wondering, what's in the name? We wanted a name that could be translated without a translation. So, we came up with a number. The number 180 indicates a change of direction, that's what we want people to experience... a life redirected towards Christ.

Until next time, God's best!
