Other Ministry
There is so much more to talk about yet!! In Oct. we hosted a big event by bringing
in Bayless Conley a pastor from CA who came to do an evangelistic crusade. We had
a maxed out crowd of about 500 attend with over 100 visitors to this service. Chapa
had the honor to be the worship leader for this crusade where six years ago at this
crusade she gave her heart to the Lord for the first time!
We also had a Filipino choir that traveled from the Philippines to
travel throughout Europe to minister in churches. We hosted one of their concerts
on a Sunday evening.
In Sept. and Oct. we have also had a busy season hosting 6 teams from the U.S. to
help us renovate our new facility. What an honor and joy to have volunteers come
to help us build a new building so we can expand our growth as a church. 18 teams
have come so far and we are looking for 15 more to join us over the next year.
In Oct. we also hosted a pastors Summit for over 50 International pastor’s located
all over Europe. What a powerful time we had together with great teaching and wonderful
fellowship and networking to reach Europe for Christ.
On top of all this going on we arecontinuing to run and pastor a church. In the
life of the church many things as well have been happening. In the month’s of July
and August we took 250 people through Bill Fay’s evangelism training which Shawn
recommended and brought to VCC. For the month of September we entered into a month
of prayer and fasting among our International and African congregations. What a
powerful time that was, weekly we gathered together for prayer and easily over 100
people attended our special corporate prayer times.
Starting in October we have launched into an evangelistic campaign as a church where
three of our congregations are currently going through the 6 week “WHY” campaign.
This campaign has three elements that work together, Sunday sermons, Cell group
discussions, and a daily devotional. In our International congregation we have started
8 new cell groups which is so exciting to see happen.
In Oct. we have also started our School of Leaders training where we are discipling
our member to be new cell leaders. Shawn has been directing this school for the
past three years and now a new missionary arrived this fall to help administrate
this school. In Level one we have 28 new students and Level 2 was also recently
started. In this school we prepare and train our members to be first of all true
followers of Christ and than secondly we prepare them to fulfill God’s mission to
win souls and make disciples.
