Cru Fellowship

Cru Fellowship for Church Multiplication is our national church planting residency that equips church planters and their core leadership team. It is a year-long commitment.

Cru Fellowship is for apostolic leaders, missionary leaders, church planters or mission team leaders who are called to plant churches who will plant other churches. Our desire is for sustainable, healthy, vital churches with ongoing care and leadership development in church planting cohorts for years 2 and 3. Joseph has been integral in the development and design of the residency. He is also part of the teaching team and leads the design and development of the cohorts in years 2 and 3 for ongoing care, ministry development, soul care, and coaching.

Because we are a national church planting residency that mainly meets online we have planned 3 intentional in person gatherings: In Santa Ana, Ca, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Kansas City, Missouri. During these gatherings we equip in person and build our relational connections and networks. This past month we held our second in person gathering in Fort Lauderdale. We continued our equipping focus on evangelism and creating a strategic plan so church planters can have holistic and healthy steps towards accomplishing their church vision.

One day of our time together in Ft. Lauderdale is going out into the community to share the gospel to others. By God’s grace we initiated conversations with 86 people in the community and had the opportunity to share the gospel with 32 of them. A huge highlight was seeing 4 of these people accept Christ into their hearts and begin new lives!

Thank you for your continual prayers and please pray for the 4 new believers in Ft. Lauderdale. Please also pray for our next in person gathering together as Cru Fellowship in Kansas City this June.
