Sunday we had our fourth launch team meeting for Restore and I must say it was our best yet. We had 60 people present which was nearly double that of our November meeting and the energy was incredible. We had 15 first time attenders who were invited by launch team members and staff, and we added over 20 names to our Matrix.
Here was our flow for the meeting. We started at 4pm and were done by 5:30pm.
- Welcome and Repay stories
- Music
- Interview with a launch team member about how they found Restore
- Announcements
- Vision time
- C3 Missions spotlight
- Prayer time
- Breakouts into specific ministry areas
- soft close
During the vision time, we unpacked Acts 1:8 and I got the chance to share our values of
- Spirit Led...but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you...
- Missional...and you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere....
- Reproducing...in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria and to the ends of the earth.
Now that was fun. It was great to have Patrick O'Connell (one of our Campus Pastor/Church Planter Apprentices) here now full time. I will write more about Patrick in the coming weeks. He has a great story.

We are glad to hear it is going so well, Troy, but did not really think it would be otherwise with "the Cool guy" walking point. I know you will be writing great things about Pat O'Connell in the comming months, he is a great guy with a great mind and a great addition to your team. From myself and my family to you and yours, we are praying for you, and inspired from afar by your leadership and drive.
