Victory’s Vision x 19
While I often hear about kingdom efforts magnified through CDN, I typically serve as a third-party anecdotal conduit, sharing stories of His goodness within our network once I receive alerts that new works are ready to be shared. However, as someone who was present for the Atlanta Encounter last month, I can first-hand attest to just how palpable God’s presence was during those 36 hours.
As is characteristic of most Encounters, Atlanta showcased the power of collective worship, prayer, and training, exceeding expectations. Hosted by our newfound partners at Victory Church and facilitated by CDN, 57 individuals gathered for an intensive 2-day experience. What set this apart from many inaugural Encounters was Victory Church’s pre-existing culture of establishing house churches throughout their region. On our way to the airport, Victory House Church’s Campus Pastor, Aaron Born, shared that CDN provided their missing piece. Prior to their discussions with CDN, they lacked the framework to solidify their visions and progress toward sustainable realities. Nevertheless, the ground was fertile and brimming with potential long before any of us arrived. God undoubtedly preceded us, paving the way in Georgia and beyond!
In total, 19 individuals were inspired to plant new churches or outreaches following the weekend. Lyndon Carr of Victory Church shared his reflections: “Victory Vida [Victory’s Spanish-speaking church] decided to host a Spanish training site in August. At least two couples from the Victory Vida group also aspire to plant churches. One couple within our group plans to relocate their RV to an RV park and initiate a house church in that community! Furthermore, one of our leaders in Quebec has devised a plan to establish a house church with his family in Canada! The house church planters in Jamaica have resolved to establish a house church in Guava Walk, an area teeming with potential for spreading the gospel!”
If you think there’s a lot going on there, that’s precisely what characterized the entire weekend! Each session led to revelatory moments yearning for someone to respond in obedience. God could not have made the pathways clearer if He tried! The vision of an individual from one country on one side of the room resonated with the aspirations of another from an entirely different country on the opposite side. This realization sparked further affirmation, resulting in 36 hours of interconnected chain reactions that only our remarkable Father could orchestrate so seamlessly.
When ordinary people encounter Jesus, extraordinary visions are born for spreading the gospel! If one weekend could catalyze 19 new church plants & gospel-spreading ministries, where might God be leading you to step out further?!
Will you join us in prayer for the laborers, resources, and open doors necessary to witness this vision come to fruition? Victory Vida also seeks support as they prepare to host the first Spanish-language Encounter weekend.
