Boston church plant

GCI elder Dishon Mills with his wife Afrika are in the process of planting The Redeemed of Christ Church (ROCC) in Randolph, Massachusetts (near Boston). Here is an update from Dishon concerning their progress as they prepare for a public launch in September of this year.

As we continue to follow where the Lord leads, we grow closer to the time of our public launch. In preparation, our focus has been on prayer, building relationships with people in our focus community, strengthening our core team, establishing administrative systems and fundraising. Here are some of our key activities:

• Preparing to move our meetings to a more central location
• Conducting Food & Faith gatherings where we build relationships with new people in our focus community
• Fine-tuning financial and other key administrative systems (with much-appreciated help from the folks in the GCI home office)
• Visiting area churches to talk about what Jesus is doing in Randolph
• Serving needy people in our focus community through home care, providing food and sending children to GCI’s New Heights summer camp
• Equipping our core team through various conferences including the CMM summit and the Exponential conference

Please pray for us, asking the Lord to supply our need for additional workers and for guidance and support through this critical period.
