Need a Frig

Robyn and Surmier have finally found a new apartment to move into.  Praise God!  They need a refrigerator for their new apartment.  Anyone have an extra one?

Housing Needed from August to December

This is an email/phone call Kevin received from Amy and Jon (they gave permission to list their need on our site):

My husband, Jon, and I will be moving to Los Angeles from Columbus, OH on August 22 to begin the Master of Arts in Transformational Urban Leadership program through Azusa Pacific. We have been struggling with finding housing and were hoping that your church might be able to help us out. Our biggest challenge is that we will only be in LA for one semester August - December because the majority of the program we will be doing missions work overseas. Because of this we have not been able to find an affordable landlord to lease short-term. At this point we are praying for anything to open up since we'll be there in 2 weeks! The one key thing is that wherever we stay, we need to be able to get to the downtown campus of APU (near Wilshire and Normandie) via public transportation as we won't have a car. 

Jon and I have been married for 8 months. We graduated from The Ohio State University in 2011. Jon studied construction management and I studied social work. We have both felt God calling us to ministry to the urban poor for the past couple of years and are very excited about this next step in our lives! 

I cannot express how much we appreciate your help. 

Thanks,

Amy and Jon Hennin

Los Angeles Church Planting

God has been growing New City Church of LA and I believe we have become an inclusive gospel-centered community here in downtown.  But our vision is not just for downtown.  We want to spur a church planting movement in Los Angeles so that there is a gospel driven church in every neighborhood in Metro Los Angeles.  There are 114 neighborhoods in the City of LA and with the surrounding Metro LA communities, there are about 200 neighborhoods.  Some of these neighborhoods are as small as 10,000 and some are as large as 220,000 people.  We want to plant a neighborhood church that brings people together in every neighborhood, that becomes the light of Jesus in that neighborhood, that preaches the good news of Jesus in that neighborhood, and that becomes good news by serving that neighborhood.

We are going to do this in partnership with Stadia, a non-denominational church planting organization. They have committed to put in $50,000 per every church plant with LA CPN.

God has blessed this vision.  We have put together 10 churches so far that are committed to this vision.  We are calling it the Los Angeles Church Planting Network.  The churches that have committed to this vision are:

New City Church of LA
Christian Assembly
Shepherd of the Hills
Discovery Church
Real Life Church
First Christian Church of Newbury Park
Knott Ave Church
Diamond Canyon Church
Park Ave Church
Huntington Beach Christian Church

I believe we are just getting started.  We are talking to more churches and more individuals.  If you know churches that might be interested, please let me know.  Among these churches, we have raised over $240,000 for the first church plant (including Stadia's contribution).  And we are on our way to raising the money needed to plant the second church plant.  Our goal is to plant 1-2 churches every year.

Please keep this in your prayers!
