Small(ish) Faith. Big God.
I’ve asked for so much from so many people for so long, but if I’m being honest asking has not gotten a lot easier. I still wrestle with seeing the validity and the value of asking for help despite our history. Our history with people is rich with generosity. Our history with Jesus is even richer.
And yet here we are asking for help again. Remembrance of our history is why we are asking you to ask with us for the things that are beyond what we can imagine or think of on our own. Don’t get me wrong these are lofty asks, but I’ve seen greater answers than this come to the sons and daughters of God. This is not even our comprehensive list (because frankly I’m learning to keep track and list more each day). There are always immediate needs, but today we are asking you to look to the future, into the unknown with us and ASK.
THE UNTHINKABLE
HOUSING
Starting in June we want to live where we live. This means that we want to actually have a home where we do life, play, eat, caffeinate, pray, and share the gospel.
We are asking God to give us a place in Baker or Lincoln Park with Apartment Life so that we can have the easiest front door to neighbors and the gospel
We are also asking God to give us a FREE (yes, I said free) place to live if it’s not with Apartment Life. We have seen this happen before, and we know God can do it again even in one of the more expensive areas of Denver.
MULTIPLICATION
Starting February 22 our Discovery Groups (think evangelistic discovery bible study) will multiply from one group into two. Ask for the blessing of the kingdom of God that it would be multiplied in it’s impact on the participants, the leaders, and the lost who find themselves in this environment.
We are asking God to multiply these groups every 4 months through the sending of the sons and daughters of God into the harvest.
Through this we are multiplying not only followers aka disciples of Jesus, but leaders aka disciple makers. This is how we are going to plant Cap City, and how we pray we will plant five neighborhood churches in the next five years.
It is our prayer that through these Discovery Groups we would grow to 75 people in exactly 12 months. We long to see 75 engaged members of Cap City by February of 2023 before we “launch” this thing.
ANOINTING
We want to see the Holy Spirit fall. I don’t every use the word anointing, but right now there is no other word to describe what we are longing for. We want to see the Spirit move in a way that draws attention to the greatness of our King, Jesus.
Pray for intimacy with our Father for our team that leads to breakthrough and personal renewal.
Ask that this personal renewal will lead to unthinkable declarations and demonstrations of the gospel in our homes, at our jobs, and on the streets.
FUNDING
We want to reach 100% of our Year 1 budget ($149,000) by May to continue to in health and joy stay, send, and serve as a church.
Currently we are 62% of the way to that goal (up 7% from two months ago)!
