Eight years ago we set a very lofty vision that by 2020 we would see:
Missional communities planted in our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the Ends of the Earth: 500 cells, 50 chapter, and 1 oversees student movement.
While we crossed the 50 chapter mark this past December, it was not until we counted up the cells (small groups) in May that we realized we crossed 500, in fact just over 520 cells met in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska this year.
We are amazed at the work of God in our midst and feel like the farmer Jesus describes in the Parable of the Growing Seed in Mark 4:26-29. The Kingdom of God is on the move in the Midwest and we are grateful to partner with God in his work.
The overseas student movement in Cambodia, Sonoko, is on its way as well. Pray with us for the important next steps on indigenous leadership for this IFES movement.
