Reaching out to the Community of South Los Angeles

Why Church Planting?

“The vigorous, continual planting of new congregations is the single         most crucial  strategy for:                                                                                   1) the numerical growth of the Body of Christ in any city, and                     2) the continual corporate renewal and revival of the existing churches in a city.                                      

Nothing else–not crusades, outreach programs, para-church ministries, growing mega-churches, congregational consulting, nor church renewal processes–will have the consistent impact of dynamic, extensive church planting.”  Tim Keller—Why Plant Churches

We have been partnering with Epiphany Fellowship LA as they are planting a church in South Central Los Angeles.  Through         prayer-walking times through the neighborhoods we have been able to learn about the needs of the community and have seen 2 people accept the Lord so far.  Fatimah (Pastor Tommy’s wife) recently led another woman (Fatima as well) to the Lord at the neighborhood park.  Pastor Tommy led a man, Horacio, to the Lord also.  Please pray for Fatimah and Horacio as Pastor Tommy and Fatimah are trying to meet with them both for new believer   follow-up and that they would grow in their relationship with Jesus. IMG_0348.2015-08-01_183052

We have been helping Epiphany Fellowship with outreach and            evangelism times to the community of South Central Los Angeles and  Joseph is training the launch team on new believer training.          

Below is the first of 2 vision nights for the church.  We invited the community to hear the vision of Epiphany Fellowship forming in their neighborhood.  A Christ Centered Church that will be             multi-generational and multi-ethnic.  2015-08-08_023629535_29F2F_iOSPlease pray that Epiphany Fellowship would be a light to Los Angeles and many people within the community would come to know the Lord.
