Weekend Rewind
Parkview Plants in Phnom Penh
Below is an email that I received from Roger Akers. Parkview supports Roger and Tammy as they serve the Lord in Manila, Philippines. Several months ago the Akers visited with Parkview and shared what God was doing in their ministry. In addition to active ministry in Manila, part of their strategy involves planting churches in the major cities of Southeast Asia.
Attached are some pics from the first gathering of the NFD (non-facility driven) church plant sponsored by Parkview. The lead pastor is a man named Rev. Francis Velasco (whose wife is expecting their first child in March) and they minister in Phnom Pehn.
Working in an area in the city they have sought to gain momentum for this gathering; forming a core team, discipleship and small groups is the primary focus here. A “gathering” is planned in this process every 4-5 weeks to facilitate vision casting for the new church and for the new team to make contacts and/or converts of the people.
The first few gatherings are about vision; while the small groups meet and grow on a weekly basis.
The goal of this first gathering was 50 new people – they had 77 attend on Saturday, January 21 – 63 adults and 14 children. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!
Please pray for Pastor Francis, the team of Community Baptist Church, and the outreach to lost people Phnom Pehn.
