"iSCPX's" UNLEASHED!

Back in October Jesus gave the national elder team the task of taking the vision of SCPx & Simple Church Planting to 13 cities all over the country. Our desire was to see groups of students who have heard about SCPx, & what God is doing through student/simple/campus church planting join us for a time of sharing stories, hearing the vision, & joining the movement. From Southern California all the way to Florida God has been bringing together like-minded students and mobilizers to continue to build His church through the vision of SCPx. We are excited about what God is unleashing already through these “iSCPx’s”, & what He will fulfill as the summer roles around into the 4-5 SCPx’s that will be taking place this summer.

As Brad & I spent time in San Diego & Los Angeles for “iSCPx” God did a mighty work creating a sense of National Spiritual Family among existing student church planters in those cities.

Down in Orlando, Florida with our friends Thomas & Lian Day we joined a group of passionate students to share with them the movement that is taking place as students step out to make disciples and Baptize other students on campus.

Yesterday in Austin the past SCPx Austin grads helped facilitate a powerful time of story-telling of what God has done in the past 8 months since their time at SCPx. The room was full of excitement as we shared about SCPx coming up in August in Austin. However, they were all so pumped about what God might want to begin starting TODAY in their lives to prepare them for SCPx this summer. We ended with a time of impartation to one another through the Holy Spirit. Lies of the enemy were destroyed, the weight of performance & idolatry were melted away by the power & freedom of Jesus, & students were unleashed to pursue obedience to Jesus in His most basic command-making disciples of all nations, Baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Jesus, we praise you for what have done so far, and beg for MORE MORE MORE as the remaining “iSCPx’s” take place in the various cities in Jesus’ name.

Here’s some pics from Austin yesterday:

IG+Snow+Austin=adventure

The Snow family is finally settled in Austin! As many of you know this is the third city for IG to extend to through long-term, physical presence. While here we have a two-fold purpose on local level:

1) To make new disciples in our apartment community, and watch as the Holy Spirit births a new faith community (Simple Church) right out of the harvest!

2) To continue mentoring, discipling, and pouring into the students here in Austin who went through Student CPx back in August. They are continually seeing God move in powerful ways as they seek to make disciples & birth new faith communities on campus at UT. We’ve already had a chance to re-connect with them and begin discussing what this relationship will look like…

Of course, we will continue pursuing everything that God is doing through IG on a national level as well…

Where we saw a student Baptize another student in the hotel pool!

This is a busy time for us as a family, and IG as an organization. Along with the SCPx National Elder team we are doing “iSCPx” in 13 cities nation-wide in the Spring. I have already been to San Diego, Los Angeles, & am in Orlando right now.

We’ll host one more “iSCPx” in Austin next weekend to conclude our 4 cities. (The rest of the team will cover the other cities). This is an exciting time for our organization as God is building His Church in fresh/new ways. We are blessed to be a part of it, and grateful for those of you who support us on this journey.

Orlando & Austin…

As you know we have planned “iSCPx” (Intro to Student Church Planting Experience) in 13 cities across the nation during the Spring. We’ve already made it to SoCal, and I will be heading to Orlando this weekend to be with our team there for “iSCPx Orlando”! The following weekend we will be here in Austin with our awesome group of “SCPx grads” from last summer. They will be helping me host “iSCPx Austin” here on UT’s campus! See http://studentcpx.org for info about the other cities! God is moving across the nation!
