Tuesday, September 15, 2009 Connections Tour: Let's Get Together

We've only talked a little about the upcoming Encounter Connections Tour, so we wanted to tell you more. Basically, we're going out on the road looking to connect with individuals and organizations to share about this new church plant called Encounter Church.

We're praying that we can also explore partnership possibilities and essentially make a connection with whatever ministry you are involved with. We would love the opportunity to present our vision and how we are working with God to change the spiritual landscape of Helena.

EXPLORING PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

First of all, please do not let the word partnership frighten you. By partnership, we simply mean a way of working together toward a common goal to glorify God and make Jesus known. We are praying that during this Connections Tour we will be able to form one or more of the following partnerships:

1) PRAYER
We are building a strong Prayer Partner Team to intercede for Encounter. We regularly send out specific prayer requests in email and would love to have your leadership team and congregation praying for us. [More here]

2) PEOPLE
We are still gathering Launch Team Members to join us in this work and prepare for the public launch of the Encounter worship gathering. While on our tour, we are praying for God to lead us to people who are willing to follow Him and relocate to Helena, Montana. There are also many short-term Missions & Internship opportunities with Encounter. [More here]

3) FINANCIAL
We are seeking ongoing monthly support and one-time gifts from individuals and churches to help with staffing needs and our startup costs. See the brochure or website about our Thousand Campaign. [More here]

Currently, there are few churches in Helena that are effectively reaching the younger generation and those far from God. With your help, we at Encounter can “do church differently” in order to fill the gap that exists in Helena.

Give us a call today or email us so we can get together!
