Updates

Horizons is on its way to being a huge conglomerate of churches in the Detroit metro area with all the surrounding counties around. 6 church plants over the next 12 years is the plan. But, I can already see that happening before 12 years. But, we can't put the cart before the horse! Rochester Hills is the first plant coming out of the gates with one month away before our launch of advertising. The advertising will be used to build a core group of families. It won't be our launch for first services yet, but hopefully we can put a date on that sometime in Feb of 2008! The vision of Horizons Church is clear and simple, To Know Christ and Make Him Known. If you are reading and are interested in being part of a new church that will impact your lives with high energy worship experience, a great place for your kids to be trained up, and positive, and encouraging proclamation of who Jesus is, then this is the place for you. Consider it, think about it, contemplate it, review it, rehearse it. You know you want to be part of it. Just do it! Engage.

The best way to evangelize is to plant more life-giving churches. God is doing something incredible in this last end time hour. But He is doing a new thing. Luckily, it is not smeared with the muddy puddles of some other move of God. God never puts a patch on anything. He always grants a new fresh wind of His Spirit to a new generation of vessels. What are you? Old wineskin, or new? It is not an age group either, necessarily, but a willingness to move with God by faith. God does not have to move the same way He did 40 years ago in order for it to be genuine. I know I am speaking the language of my readers now. How do you describe steak to someone who can't chew? How do you describe the color blue to a blind person, or at least color blind? The new thing God wants to do is hard to explain because it has never been on our plate before. But we have a few hints from the Lord...hungry yet? More later!!!
