Be Fruitful & Multiply
Last Sunday was a big day in the life of the church here in Ancona. Our church looks a lot different than most churches in that it is a “Cell Church.” Basically, we meet in homes and function as a church. But just like cells in the body, we seek to multiply into more and more cells.
So now we’re meeting in two groups. We just got too big to comfortably meet in a living room. It was different to suddenly be half the size that we were last week. But at the same time it was so excited. Towards the end of our time together we talked about the vision that we having cells meeting in every neighborhood of the city. Two members of our church were discussing what it is going to take and it was really exciting for me to see them talking about where we are heading as a church. One encouraged patience, as church planting is generally slow here. The other encouraged boldness; he talked about how people need someone to be strong and to lead. They are both right, and I think we all learned a little from both of them.
Please pray for the church here. Big steps are being taken – pray that this is just the first of many multiplications.
