Ekklesia

What a wonderful, wonderful day it was Sunday on 10/10/10. A few photos are attached.


God was so gracious to us. Not only were we able to launch Ekklesia, butwe are already starting to multiply more churches. Here are the finalnumbers for our opening day:


Corpus Christi -
Ekklesia: 124 people
Kingsville: 24 people
Alice: 19 people
Sinton: 10 people
Total: 177 people


Please pray that our Corpus campus would multiply soon. It was completely packed. They say when a worship service hits 80% capacity we need to do something to create more space. We were right around the 80% the previous week and at about 99% this Sunday. We need to get it down to about 60-70%
So pray that at least one house church will begin meeting in another part of town soon.
We also have a few Huddles starting soon. One in Corpus, another in Taft, and a youth Huddle in Portland.

What a great way to start. Thank you for your prayers and to God be the glory.

Blessings,
Bob Gomez
Lead Pastor of Ekklesia &
President of The X Movement

Jacob's Well Christian Fellowship

My name is Ricardo Rivera, Jacob's Well Christian Fellowship Pastor. It is a great joy for me and the congregation to share the picture that you'll find in the attachment. We are celebrating our 2ND Anniversary and the Lord has bee awesome with us. (We had like 3 families missing that day).Well, before we took the picture I challenged our congregation this way: "I want to go out to our parking lot and take a picture with people that is going to be committed to bring people for Jesus." All our members went out to take the picture. Praise God. Our goal is to keep multiplying for next year. We've opened our third silo 4 weeks ago and has an attendance of 34 people. Most of them haven't been at the well yet. Obviously, this is a team work. I'm so grateful with God for our Pastoral Body, silo leaders, team leaders and every member. I'm highly honored to serve with this conregation as their pastor. Thanks for the support that we've received from BGCT and you this past 2 years. You and BGCT are part or our success!
