40 Days till LAUNCH

Can you believe it! In just 40 short days Crosswinds will be launching it's first official service and our launch team is really excited.

Let me tell you what God has been doing over the last few weeks. We have added 2 new families the Albertsons and the Cooks who both live in Leland and are excited about joining the Crosswinds family. . In just a few short weeks we out grew the home we were meeting in and just this past Sunday we started meeting in a temporary location just across the street from our future home. This past Sunday we had 25 adults and 16 kids.  We have recently connected with 4 other families and could be potentially adding them to our launch team as well.

Another exciting thing is that one of our launch team families are starting a small group tonight that will be discipling a couple that came to Christ not to long ago. (Praise the Lord)

God is truly assembling a great team that is making a difference in the Leland area and has a heart for seeing people come to Christ.  You have been a part of making this happen through your prayers and your giving and although we are in hard times economically God has continued to be faithful. 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for partnering with Crosswinds to advance the Kingdom.

YOUR INVITED....
Remember our LAUNCH is 40 days away on SUNDAY, MARCH 29. We would love to have as many of you visit and be a part of this special day. Even if you can't make the 29th we invite you as a partner to visit Crosswinds any Sunday.  If you plan to attend LAUNCH Sunday please email me and let me know so that we can have an idea of how many of our partners will be attending.

Here are a few request to pray for concerning Crosswinds

PRAYER REQUEST:
1.  Interviewing process with Worship Leader.
2.  For God to continue to position people as part of the Crosswinds Launch Team.
3.  Strength for our launch team over the next few critical weeks.
4.  Continued financial support over the next 2 years as we move toward being self supporting.
5.  Connections with people who are de-churched, and un-churched.
6.  For salvation of those in Leland who do not have a relationship with Christ. (this is the most important request)
7. The Robles Family who will be moving from NY at the end of the month.


Thank you again for all your support and prayers!

Advancing the Kingdom,

Chris
