Church Plants Coming This Summer...

We're looking forward to the arrival of two new emerging church plants coming this summer to NYC...

1) Samir Selmanovic, his wife Vesna, and their two daughters Ena and Leta are preparing to move to New York City and start an urban interfaith community called Faith House. Bowie really enjoyed meeting Samir in Pasadena at the Christian Churches Together meeting, and some members of the group know him from the six years he spent pastoring a multi-ethnic church in Manhattan (he moved to CA four years ago, but when NYC calls...). His bio is well worth checking out.

2) Sean and Monica Callaghan and their three kids are moving here from South Africa and starting incarnate NYC in Tribeca. Brian McLaren says that, "Sean and Monica are church planters and leaders who epitomize what is good and hopeful about emerging churches" (read more).

Please keep these church planters and their children in your prayers.

I'm glad to hear that there are going to be some church plants in NYC this summer. The Kingdom of the Most High is definitely advancing. This is my first time to your blog. I have a friend who recently started visiting Origins. I'm in Brooklyn, but would like to make my way up there some time. God bless.
More fire!
