Sunday was an awesome time for New City Church Milledgeville. Somehow, we packed around 380 people into our little building. I want to thank everyone who willingly worshipped Jesus in the scorching hot hallways, foyer, and overflow room of the building. I know it was uncomfortable, and I want to thank you for your willingness to set aside your own comfort and focus on worshipping Jesus regardless of the uncomfortable situation.
While the large number of people in attendance at NCCm was encouraging, that's not what I'm most excited about. What I am most excited about is what those numbers COULD represent. What if NCCm were able to unleash 400 missionaries into Milledgeville, missionaries who love Jesus and people? What kind of impact could we make on Milledgeville? How could the city be transformed by the gospel if a large group of Christians who loved Jesus and the gospel were to intentionally live on mission in Milledgeville? I think the impact, by God's grace, could be enormous!
I'm excited about what God is doing at NCCm and in Milledgeville. Please join me in praying that NCCm would not simply be a cool event to attend on Sunday, but the beginning of a missional movement in Milledgeville that will effect real and lasting gospel transformation and change.
