Exponential Conference 2010

We just got back from a great conference held in Orlando and we are excited about all that we've learned this week and the time we were able to have away! Tuesday through Thursday 5 of us went to the church planter's Exponential Conference. We were able to hear some great speakers, such as Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, Sarah Hatfield, Efrem Smith, Ed Stetzer, and many many more. There were main sessions when we all came together and workshops for specific topics of interest. There's so much that goes in to church planting that we learned about! For those of you at FWC-Chillicothe, you may remember the Cox family from Swaziland. Benj and I ran into them at this conference and they have started their own church plant in PA as well! What a small world for us to run into them there!

Here are a few pictures from our time there....

Discover Church.....

It's hard to believe that Benj and I have been here almost a year! We are having so much fun and learning so much about starting a new church. Some highlights that have happened just in the past 2 months are Launching the church March 7th and holding our very first Easter "sunset" service April 4th! We are seeing a steady turnout each Sunday and we are experiencing how difficult it can be to start a church in this area!

During our Easter service, 3 people accepted Jesus as their personal Savior! YAY GOD!!!!! We also have 2 of our team members that are getting BAPTIZED on May 1st, so we will be holding a Beach Baptism and cookout that weekend! We have so much to be praising God for and we could not be more excited for these 5 individuals that are committing their lives to Christ in new ways!!! Please pray with us as we know the spiritual battle will be difficult for them. Please pray that God will protect them and guide them closer to Him!

Somethings we are also praying about, are finding a new location and growing our church. At the end of the summer we are leaving the Hotel and we are currently looking at new locations such as warehouses, store fronts, schools, and even movie theaters. We would appreciate your prayers for Discover Church and our leadership team to have the wisdom while looking at different locations! Please pray that God provides abundantly in this area!

If there's anything that Benj and I can be praying for you about, please let us know by posting a comment below or emailing us at thelitters@gmail.com -We appreciate all of your love and support and are praying that God blesses and provides for you!
